“Until lesson 5, everything was clear. After that, I had to pause the video every ten seconds to follow along. At some point, I lost the bigger picture of what I was actually doing. I don’t like giving a bad review, but this is my honest opinion: The course is strongly marketed and creates high expectations, but for me, it doesn’t fully deliver. I don’t want to just copy code—I want to understand it. It would help to know the goal of the exercises: Are they just to get an overview, or should we fully understand the concepts? Also, what is the best way to watch the videos—first just watching and then following along?”

“Feedback for the SheCodes Team The tasks should not be overly difficult to ensure a smooth learning experience. If the level is too advanced, it may reduce confidence in the course. I would have preferred more exercises to reinforce my skills instead of focusing on advanced techniques early on. While I can produce a forecast in the end, the underlying concepts remain unclear. Additionally, I would have appreciated more privacy when obtaining the certificate, as it requires a photo and is publicly visible. Furthermore, the process creates an expectation to leave a positive review, which I find problematic.”

“I appreciate your ask, but I don’t have the capacity to write a testimonial right now.”

“The lessons are short and crisp, which is great. The ability to rewind and replay is really helpful. I especially like the community feeling created through the active Slack platform. However, the videos sometimes feel too spontaneous, as if the instructor wasn't fully prepared. I would have appreciated a clear overview at the beginning - a brief explanation of the course components and structure. Despite these points, the course offers valuable insights and learning opportunities.”
