The first lessons with Ken Alger and then Ashley Boucher were great. Super easy to understand because of how they explained everything, offered analogies, metaphors, animations, etc. I was feeling pretty good.
Then, I got into the lessons with Megan Amendola and then Kenneth love and felt like I haven't learned anything at all. I made it through the lessons only by using the community forum for answers, but unlike Ken and Ashley, these lessons don't "teach" anything. They just start telling you what they're doing as they code, with no explanation as to why, what or how. On Megan's lessons she never even once talked about "what" main and name are. She only mentioned them as she was using them. Same with Kenneth's lessons.
The fact that there are no "see answers" on the challenges is only not an issue because I was able to find the answers in the community, otherwise I'd be totally and completely stuck.
Honestly, this makes me want to quit Treehouse and move on to some other program that has better lesson quality, similar to that of those first lessons with Ken and Ashley.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 7,738 PointsYeah I don't know what happened I was getting so many concepts really quickly and all the sudden it gets difficult because it's so poorly explained, the content so poorly organized and the assignments are so vague.
Pushing through though, I know Guil comes back in later courses....
