1-10 Difficulty level: 5… I found this course incredibly frustrating due to the incompetence of the graders. They didn't follow the rubric. Instead of giving specific feedback, including why points were deducted, they would just copy/paste instructions stating to review the course and the rubric. I should have just powered through it, instead of putting it off. I’m sure that made it worse, lol, as the assignments themselves weren't difficult.
