http://perpetual.education is a design/programming school. We like to be part of the discussion over here at Dev.to / We have time-slots for free conversations for career advice IRL : )
At some point, you can't just catalog "how to do everything." As the developer/learner you have to push beyond the helpful tutorials and overviews - and get to the point where you are making something unique. It can feel pretty rough to fight through that urge to look for the answer. But in the end, people want to pay you for for things that they haven't figured out how to do yet. It's the things that there aren't a tutorial for that keeps developers working.
We just checked out some of the courses - and already got hundreds of dollars in education in the first 20 minutes.
Maybe what you are perceiving as "extremely shallow" is that they are very to the point and concise in their delivery. For example, the CSS Grid lessons we just watched were very short - but basically explained everything you could know about grid. That could certainly feel 'simple.' At that point, it's really up to the designer/developer to get out there and put it into practice.
Asking a question like:
Is it possible to get partial refund?
Kinda shows that you need a little more work on your research skills. So, maybe that's a red flag - and maybe you're looking for too much hand-holding.
If you are looking for more in-depth real-word situations to work in, consider hiring a tutor or a mentor in your field. Or better yet, find a difficult job.
It's been a few years. Any updates? Did you end up watching a bunch of the course materials? Do you have an answer to your question?
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
