Horrible course, you only have limited time to do the tutorials which have errors and you only have a limit on the time you can do a tutorial which makes it difficult for you to think. You just copy and paste stuff without being mindful of what you are doing. The fundamentals course is way too difficult and has too much contents in a single week

The course is informative however labs are not easy to work with especially the last AutoML one you a required to use Cloud Storage but you are told that you don't have permission to use an already created CS bucket or even to create your own. I think it will only work if you are using personal account not the one given in Quicklabs

Not really helpful. It is very basic level with no proper lab course set-up to properly allow to practice the candidate. Most of the materials are reading the documentation, which is free for anyone to view then what is the use of subscribing to the course and learning as I could have simply referred the documentation for learning.

Shoddy material, quickly thrown together. Non-paying users cannot access labs. Why even allow them to enroll then ? Does not require Machine Learning to extrapolate a scenario where such a user is going to get frustrated and ask questions: "Where can I find the lab? or Why isn't my button to start the lab working?".

Following every lab, and every test. There is a video where the exact same is done all over again in a video. I do not feel like this immediate repetition helps me in any way, and after having watched one and a half of the lab review videos, I skipped through the rest.

Lab instructions are not very clear. Trying to load into a lab and it keeps loading and asking me to verify images, then when I do, it tells me my last lab was ended because I did not follow instructions.

I am clueless as to the reason I'm getting that message.

The course doesn't introduce you to the concepts. The labs don't explain how things work, they just list some instructions without any explanation. Some labs have problem and dont work properly and they dont help you to solve them. It is so frustrating!!!!!

utter waste of time, its just a cheap ad to promote a google cloud platform which no one likes/uses. i thought i would learn something but this course is a complete garbage. didn't expect coursera to provide such a low grade course. highly disappointed.

I faced problems with 2 labs

(1) My Org IT policy prohibits uploading a file to Google

(2) Predicting loan risk with AutoML Lab :: training takes more than 2 hours and deployment another 15 minutes ::: Attempted twice but could not complete the lab

Basically a Google advertisement disguised as an online course. Labs and quizzes are trivially easy, very little work necessary to complete the course. Will not be proceeding with the rest of the courses in this specialization.

This course is basically just an ad for GCP. While the labs are helpful to get an idea of the capabilities, I don't think I learned anything I could apply in a future career. Perhaps the more advanced courses are more useful.

This course/specialization is seriously insufficient in order to pass the GCP certification. A lot of knowledge from the Architecture course would still be necessary. The disclaimer about work experience does not cover that.

First actual lab wouldn't work. Then I was charged despite me trying to cancel the course. I highly recommend you just read the documentation and get a trial account to play with in GCP instead.

The notebook based demos are unfortunately pretty useless as labs. All of these courses would be much improved with real labs that require the student to build the system.

I singed up for this suppossed free course and now I got charged 44 euros. I do not want this and I deamand a refund. I'had already cancell all my subscriptions.

Too abstract. Don't use acronyms without explaining the acronyms or paste lines of code with little to no explanation. K.I.S.S ( keep it simple stupid)

It like an advertisement for Google Cloud Platform. The lab is too easy, just copy and paste without the need of thinking to solve a problem.

Just a walking advertisement for google services that teaches very little and doesn't remind you when a payment is coming and charges you

The labs are mostly waiting for environments to spin up, then following really simple instructions. Total waste of time and money.

Not sure who prepared the labs, but they need revision, clean up. They lack conciseness, clarity, etc. Ending enrollment.

Completed Specialization and Coursera says that I should be able to view Specialization but it doesn't exist.

The course was more of like google advertising their cloud APIs, rather than teaching important points.

Need real credit card(Virtual credit card is not allowed) to access to lab environment.

I can't believe I paid to sit through 10 hours of advertisements.

Just go straight to the topic, there is no need for introduction.
