This is one buggy course.

Nothing that I have done in the workspaces has actually worked. I tried the workspace in Chrome, microsoft edge and Mozilla and it didn't work in any of them.

PLease hire some developers that actually know what they're doing. The guys that you have right now need some training -> IMPORTANT: Do not send them to this course to learn coz were all doomed.

jQuery Basics

This may explain one or 2 things then. I've always felt that that jquery content needed updating even when I took the course a couple of years ago. If I'm right than the jQuery Basics course is at least 3 if not 4 years old and while the techniques may function jQuery has always been a slightly buggy if popular JS library.

Stick with it if you can though as what jQuery does is many if not all of the things pure JS does but makes it simpler and a bit more organised,

The jquery course has been fine for me. I used codepen for everything? Maybe try a older version of jquery.

As you go through the course, the bugs disappear, so that makes it much more bearable and easier to learn. That being said, I think that Jonathan is right with updating the course - Andrew might be a good programmer and know his stuff, but he can't really teach others. He's all over the place... and that is true for all his courses.
