For the record, it’s actually far worse than this even, as many of your “teachers” are just people from the previous cohort.
After a slew of negative reviews came from a few people that verifiably took the early courses, lambda decided not to improve their course, but instead to do two things:
1) they gave students financial credit for posting positive reviews on social media
2) they paid review shops out of India and China to bombard the internet with fake positive experiences.
This school are scumbags. Frankly I am shocked that it still exists and people still go there.
