Comment: C/Ping the code makes it very difficult to follow

By the nature of what it presents, this video is tedious. But I'm also having difficulties following how the structure is written when relatively big sections of code seem to appear out of nowhere. I've tried three times to recreate the event section, but honestly everytime i look at it, I have the impression I'm seeing a different structure. It's frustrating. I think it would have been better if the HTML was written on the spot, or if the copy-pasting was in smaller chunks.

The instructor seems to explain well but the copying into place of tables, row, and cells without warning or preparation leaves me spending valuable time trying to figure out what the hell he just did. I am interested in learning not catching up to this guys to try to understand what hes done. Hes methodology needs grooming.

I 100% agree with Ruxandra. The copy/pasting made this class extremely difficult to follow for someone who is trying to learn. This it the first Treehouse class that I've been disappointed with...to be honest that's a pretty good record though Treehouse! ;)

Second to that comment. Copy pasting huge chunk of code without showing the relation with design is meaning less. This is probably the worst course on Treehouse. Request you not to add courses for the sake of it and to just increase the numbers. Students spends time and money to learn new things and not to get confused.

I agree. Suddenly there are bunch of codes appear out of nowhere. For a beginner like me, it's difficult to follow. (They) Should have mentioned (if) there's a Treehouse prerequisite class you need to complete prior to this course. Especially on 02:21 till the end of the video is confusing.
