Describe your suggestion

In the Natural Responsiveness lesson at the Responsive Design section:

There is a 3 week long free course linked out in Additional Resources, which may be too big a deviation from the course.

Mentioning how it may be best to bookmark it for later and take it during Job Search instead could be a sensible approach.

Hey @VeruAmari

Optional resources are for those who want to dig a bit deeper so they may involve slightly longer courses. It's why we keep them out of the Assignment section.

While I don't mind a clarfiying note. I'd prefer to avoid mentioning specifically learners should only do it during a job hunt. We can instead just note the course is long and should not block learners moving on to other lessons.

[VeruAmari]

I understand, adding a warning note on the course's length and how learners shouldn't let it hold back their progress in the curriculum sounds good!

Opening this up for help wanted.

• As a learner myself, sometimes regardless of lengthy Additional resources I had to go through it and it turned out to be really very helpful to me. Which means for me it was correct decision to go through the Additional resources.

• In some cases it was not required to go through the Additional resources. But that I realized only when I already completed Additional resources halfway through.

• I believe it totally depends on the ability of the learner, which differs with individuals.

• As a solution if we mention a NOTE clarifying that:

• Take into notice the length of the course, we would suggest you to do it as per your convenience

• I believe to be able to do Natural Responsiveness it is necessary to do some practice, else it is quite difficult to understand. So I think mentioning something like I quoted might be helpful to the new learners.

• If this approves, I would be happy to take the assignment.
