Poor quality course, even though it was free!

I chose the course: 'Responsive Website Basics: Code with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript' I didn't fancy paying £65 for it and so I applied for free funding from Coursera and while waiting for their decision I began the first couple of modules, which were free anyway.The course moves along at a fairly rapid pace, but it soon became apparent that this a low quality affair, using 'tutors' who seemed very ill at ease with the subject. At times it was hard work just listening to them.In addition the course title was misleading. This course does not teach CSS and Javascript, but instead Bootstrap and JQuery. These are CSS and Javascript libraries, and while learning them is certainly useful, it encourages the student to ignore the vital underlying CSS and Javascript fundamentals.Finally, the VS code sandbox provided for file submission is very flaky. I found submitting files for assessment to be a hit and miss process and simply not worth my time. On the day my approval for free funding came through from Coursera, I had had enough and deleted my account. This is not for me, and I feel genuinely sorry for anyone who has actually handed over money for this course.
