From an instructional design perspective, this course missed out on a lot of practice and feedback cycles. While I feel like I do understand the basics of CSS3 from taking the course, I believe the learner would advance further and reach a higher level of mastery if the course had a stronger focus on guided practice and feedback instead of the instructor just saying, "I hope you go practice this..." What this could have looked like: the instructor briefly introduces a new concept related to CSS3 and the provides some HTML code that the learner copy/pastes into their coding software. Then the learner writes CSS code to do specific things. When complete, the "next page" of the course could contain a sample of what the CSS code could look like to meet the given requirements. This pattern of "teach, practice, feedback + more insight, repeat" would have allowed the learner to spend more of the course doing instead of just learning about CSS (e.g., less video time and more practice/doing time).

This course is a good start if you already have a little experience with CSS. As a neophyte, I found that there was too much material for the amount of presentation time. I needed many more examples and exercises. I felt dejected each time the instructor said not to worry about getting it right and just experiment -- that's easy to say if you aren't being graded. The fact is that the material is extensive and often complicated, and it's imperative for me, as a student, to be correct as fast as possible. The result is that my grade (A) does not reflect my comprehension of the material. I managed to commit the material presented to short term memory so that I could pass the course, but as always happens when someone crams, the information is gone from my head.
