I finally gave up on this course most of the way through and ten months in, and am giving it 1/5 stars. I got tired of struggling with outdated materials after the first 1/3 of the course, which the instructor sort of lied about in the course description. She is either slow or unwilling to update the material. She also was unresponsive to my questions and comments in later sections, even after I'd posted them for 2 weeks. While I understand the desire to make students self-sufficient, I often struggled to figure out what I needed to do because Google's coding standards change so often. In a way, this meant I was doing her job for her. Other courses are more responsive to their students than this. I have noticed sloppy presentation at several points. There are awkward skips in the material and she doesn't tell you why. Two videos are presented out of order, making learning even more difficult than it should be. This forced me to look ahead to see what she expects the student to do, defeating the purpose of the course. I also noticed that her videos show an outdated version of Android Studio, making learning that much harder. A glaring omission is that she doesn't even mention the Git versioning system. From what I've seen and read, this is a necessity for any serious Android Studio developer.
