Some of the files are out of date; the "date" column from lesson 1 is not fixable - it will not look like the instructors, following the instructions leads to "null" fields...had to work around. Lesson 14 goes very fast - the practical asks for answers using steps/features not explained or shown. The student will need to decide 1-do i just watch and try to complete after the lesson or 2-do i pause video multiple times and try to keep up? Both are very difficult.
