Explanations for this course were much better than the Linux commands course and I enjoyed the final course at the end.

Great course for beginners who want to learn GitHub. The course even covers Git Bash so that you can use the Command Line Interface through Git Bash.

The instructions for getting a token to enable push operations from the remote repo were delayed to the final project. This created a significant amount of confusion when the coursework is followed as an activity and not just a reading and listening. The instructions for navigating to the Token(classic) link in the Github UI should be inline with the first exercise that it is applicable to, where the sandbox environment is first introduced. i know this a relatively new feature of Github, but more effort should be made to update the earlier sections of this course to reflect up-to-date functionality.

Course structure was good and informative. But the CLI on which final GIT assigment must be done should be updated and clear. I noticed sometimes when the commands are entered, multiple lines are appearing and seems distorted. Apart from that everything was fine.

The course could be enhanced by incorporating more extensive and real-world project scenarios, providing learners with a deeper understanding of collaborative development.

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...

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

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.

Outdated screenshots and in parts also outdated commands. Had to use my own terminal to complete and do an extra, much better explained, course, which cost me extra money. The instructions are missing clarity and at times steps in between to clarify what is happening. The extra course I took on another platform explains better, more comprehensive and more wholesom the principle of Git (incl. GitHub, GitKraken, VS Code, Remone Commands) in less than half the time. I suggest complete overhaul of this course concept.

None of this added with coursera plus resulted in a job. Waste of my time and money. Have the background. Experience. And skill set. This entire site didn't set anybody up for career prospects. Going to continue reviewing the rest of the courses in a similar manner until I receive recompense or justice.

Very fast material presentation, then strange labs, where the most part of the time is taken by creating of the screenshots, and finally peer cross checks takes the time, you not only have to check someone else's results but also just to seat and wait when someone will check your work.
