React - Bind 'this' to a Class Method

Tell us what’s happening:

So i’ve complain about this course and you told me to at least give useful feedback:

1 I didn’t write anything, yet i’ve allready completed the first 2 steps, and it’s very common in this course, so those steps are basicly useless.

2 Give more coding examples, i never used react so even if it’s based on js and html, it has some unique quirks, am i really supposed to know the syntax before hand? it’s easier to learn a langage if you see others speaking it a lot, makes you familiar with it.

i won’t complain anymore, just had to get frustration out of my chest to move on.

I’m lookint at the “Bind this to a class method” and it doesn’t pass without writing anything. Could it be you have the solutions saved in localStorage? Maybe someone else using the same device did this course already?

The curriculum is tested, and the automatic tests don’t validate challenges if they pass without writing anything.

Oh, wait, do you mean that the first two tests are already marked completed? Some tests are there to verify that surrounding code is not damaged.

Anyway, this course is outdated, a new version is being worked on. You can continue on the course if you want, but you may want to check on what’s been added to React in the last few years after the course was created

Can you provide a link to the step so I can see what you’re talking about?

I should hope not

Yes, tests one and two pass without you doing anything.

But what they would do is fail if you changed something incorrect. As such, the tests are not “useless”, they make sure you keep things working as they did initially before adding your own code.

Some of it is also just to help simplify things so you can focus on the core of the challenge.
