I love how easy to follow this course is. I find the Android application to be much better than the iphone app. It would be nice if you didnt have to log on to the laptop to complete some tests though.

Easy to follow curriculum. Not solely based on reading only. I like the combination of video and reading materials. I like the feedback given from the quizzes and that they can be taken more than once.

I have never gone through a course like this.

The coolest thing that Google has done is that it has made it possible to go through all the materials as many times as necessary.

Special thanks to Emilio!
