The majority of this course is just listening to this lady speak on and on. Barely any self practice or application.

There needs to be many more practice questions like most of the other tracks on your website. It aids with learning a lot more than just listening to 7/8 minute videos back to back.

I disagree - the challenges reinforce what she is talking about, and I have to say help me understand the concepts better.

I do think the videos should be cut from 7 mins to about 3.5 like earlier in the course. The 7 min ones are to crammed as the course gets harder it should be broken down into smaller chunks making it easier to follow. I cannot speak for the other courses yet but i do find certain things that could be improved on in this PHP track.

I agree, the videos get a little wonky in the Loops sections.

Also if you answer wrong on quiz answers it just gives you the same questions and forces you to memorize instead of thinking.

I have no problem with her speaking, as she is giving loads of information. I do agree though that the challenges are much harder in this course than say the Javascript Basics course. There should be more individual steps in the challenges so that you can have a better idea of where you are going wrong.
