Excellent course on SRE principles. Peer reviews are awkward due to lack of metric information, but they content attempts to re-enforce the principles and provide practical experience to the learner

The course itself was great. It was a bit upsetting to see that many of the assignments submitted by our peers are mostly copy and paste from the lectures or direct copies from the examples...

The course is very good and insightful. The questions on the peer graded assignments are not well worded and did not match the rubric. Several peer answers are all over the place. You also need to reference the architecture diagram to answer the questions and it was not handy. You had to keep going back and forth the previous weeks videos to locate the diagram. The peer review requirement should be removed. Coursera should have their own graders hired for this purpose. I could not access several spreadsheets and get past this requirement. Overall, I like the course but the peer process makes me not recommend this course to anyone.

Course content is good. Scope of 120+ people in our company working on this certification. However, the peer-graded assignment approach is a disaster. Major difficulties in the last peer-graded assignment accessing the google sheet file from corporate laptops. Also major difficulties with peer grading on this assignment. I submitted file from personal google account. People attempting to access file using corporate google account could not do so. Similarly, I was unable to access the files they submitted (presumably using corporate google account) via my personal account.

The video content was a good introduction to the topic. The graded assessments did make me think in more depth about the issues, but the instructions for them could have been clearer. For some of the assessments (particularly in week 3), I think it might have been helpful to give more detail about how to devise SLIs for a different scenario beforehand, it wasn't until I saw the sample answer after doing the assessment that I really understood what the course wanted. There did seem to be some bugs in the course, such as repeated identical questions in week 4.

Five-star content. One-star functionality for enterprise users: (1) If your company has a strong firewall, you won't be able to share the main assignment (a Google spreadsheet). It must instead be submitted from your laptop or other home computer—big hassle. (2) The peer grading process is cumbersome, slow, and random. (3) The Week 4 discussion prompts marked "Optional" are not optional—you don't get credit for having finished the preceding section until you enter a response in the discussion window.

The content is great and very clearly explained. I however doubt the value of the certificate due to the assessments done by fellow students. 95% of the grades I had to give where to people who didn't fill out the assignments at all, with chatGPT or by writing nonsense, like repeating the question, so I gave them all a 0. However if "they" together follow this course with their whole office or department and grade each other good grades, the certificate doesn't mean much...

It was an excellent course for beginner like me because I could understand the basic concepts, such as SLI, SLO, error budget, and documentation. However, I felt a massive gap between the lectures and assignments: the assignments, not quiz, were challenging due to the lack of guides, and the peer-to-peer reviews were not working well. It would be great if there were more steps in assignments.

One of the presenters spoke really quickly and I found it hard to follow. I am a native English speaker and so was he, so it wasn't a language issue, I just felt he was racing through the materials. Overall a good course, but could be better and I loved the subject matter.

The ratio of instruction to assignment work was not great. It seemed that after every 15-30 minutes of instruction, we were expected to complete a 2-hour assignment and then grade each other. I took this course so that I would not have to be self-taught! You know?

Course content and delivery was excellent! The peer review process could use some improvement..had to chase reviewers via discussion forums, ran into one reviewer who didn't read the response before grading leading. It was a distraction in the learning process.

Some of the content is a little disjointed and the exercises need while well thought out individually don't flow together very well (jump around between scenarios). I also didn't really think the first week was as high quality as 2-4.

Very interesting course but the presenters read their material too fast which would have never taken place at the regular class room. That was counter-productive as some content had to be taken more then once to understand it.

A big topic to cover in one course. I would suggest covering a little mare material and extra exercises over a longer period. Thank you for the opportunity to learn though.

While the content itself is good and relevant, the presentation and speakers are too robotic and the module layout of the course doesn't match the weekly schedules.

too much repetition , you need to make less modules and more concentrated material , less repetition , some speakers has unmotivational tone ...

The course is designed for people knowing some basic. The beginner level introductory course should be made available before this course

This allows to establish the universal language between teams and set up common goals, but the practical part is not very solid.

The course could have been more interactive. Sometimes it felt like the trainers are just reading from the material in front!!
