Describe your suggestion

In Javascript path "Working with APIs" there's assignment to:

"Read the Fetch documentation on MDN (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API/Using_Fetch). It’s not all that complicated to use, but we’ve only really scratched the surface at this point."

This assignment is not good at all. It's well known that MDN Docs are terrible source for learning, it's more likely documentation and reading through all this "Fetch API" section there is just counterproductive waste of time. At least at the level of knowledge at user is at the time, coming to this assignment. I would suggest to switch to other source for these informations, or won't let users read through the entire documentations.

Not sure if removing an assignment on the basis of "It's well known that MDN Docs are terrible source for learning" is a great idea. The rest of the course uses MDN documentation and you would be able to apply that same argument. I also happen to think MDN is great as far as documentation goes.
