Study.com final project mess up

I took something like 9 courses in a row and had only minor problems and excellent customer service. I wonder if all the changes at TESU and rush to get things upgraded was too much all at once. I may have missed it, but study.com used to actively participate in this forum too. Maybe someone will see this and get the feedback to the right people.

They did send me a private message here on this forum. They were able to find my project. I'm guessing I'm the only one who submitted one recently. I had also made a note on it that the last two prompts didn't make sense so they were able to see my note and said it won't be counted against me because they were aware of the problem in the prompts and were working to fix it. 

I must have had the page open with the old project just before they uploaded the new project so I just went on working on the old one not knowing there was a problem until I got to the end. Not sure why the images weren't showing, though. And I'm still not sure I did this project right since I thought the directions were a bit unclear. It just said to screen cap the new screen that showed after submitting the commands - well the new screen wasn't much. It didn't show the table, just showed the SQL that I'd submitted to it. Maybe that's all they wanted, but it didn't seem like much. Or maybe they wanted to see the table too since they wanted it in a couple of the early prompts. I don't know. I guess I'll find out. 

Anyway, I think the biggest issue here is they were trying to put up some new classes but didn't really have this one polished before it went live and maybe they didn't expect someone to go through it that fast. Not sure, but it definitely did not seem to be a finished course. Most of the lessons didn't have a video and many had a lot of spelling/grammar mistakes - like way more than the study.com usual. 

Overall I think it worked out well for me, though, since I probably wouldn't have taken if they'd waited to put it up. I'm searching for upper level CIS classes and they're hard to find outside of taking a more traditional class that wouldn't be self paced, so I'm sure I would have moved on if study.com didn't have anything to offer in that area.
