In-person reviews do not clearly prove exam format, proctoring, open-book rules, or final structure.
“There are around 7 assignments, all of them really easy.”
Online reviews mention three exams, practice-question overlap, and exam material from textbook topics, but they do not clearly prove proctoring, webcam, Lockdown Browser, or open-book rules.
“3 exams and a couple homework assignments.”
“Tests are same as practice questions she gives.”
“90% of the assignments from the exams were from the textbook on topics not discussed in the modules.”
