what is the problem with this course?

Select the button with the ID "makeItRed" and assign it to the button variable.

app.js 
const warning = document.getElementById("warning");
let button = document.getElementById("maketItRed");
index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Adding an Event Listener</title>
    </head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <body>
        <div id="warning">
            Warning: My background should be red!
        </div>
        <button id="makeItRed">Make It Red!</button>
        <script src="app.js"></script>
    </body>
</html>

Looks to be a simple typo. You selected maketItRed instead of makeItRed.

const warning = document.getElementById("warning");
let button = document.getElementById("makeItRed");
