There are a lot of unclear things about the homeworks. So even when you can run your homework successfully in the docker image, you still can't pass the online tests. Besides, the error msgs shown by online test system (not logs) are also unclear. It can't tell you the real reason of failure.

No support at all from the team, exercise description often imprecise, wrong formulas have been used.

I don't even know where to begin...The English is super hard to understand, the documents which are needed for working with the videos appear after the videos, the course jumps around with introducing knowledge and then just shrugs it off with a page of "yeah we know there are jumps here but please stay with us"
