    Narration and wording seems overly complex and is more confusing than it needs to be. I used the GitHub resources and it made a lot more sense and took less time...

    Good but the tutorials are a bit confusing, would be wiser to have videos instead of these step by step on the labs

    confusing wrt. the Lab (slow, buggy) CLI, vs. the upstream and origin repos on Github (no CLI commands)

    Need to make the exercises more dynamic, and also update the commands. Some of them are very obsolete

    As an already experienced Git user, it is hard to say how much a beginner would learn from this course. The final assignment was frustrating, both in the lack of clarity in the wording of the tasks and especially in the form where answers are entered. It is also peer graded, so final grading is up to interpretation of someone course takers have no way to communicate with.

    Content was great. Too many hoops to jump through to prove I can follow directions. What was the purpose of asking for titles and captions for URLs to prove I did the work? Just a lot of hoops for no good reason.

    This was one of the worst cert programs I have gone through for Git and GitHub. Can't believe I paid money for this. There are free YouTube videos that do a better job.

    The information given is often verbose and generic, sometimes even incorrect. The final project is a joke.
