I am working on Windows and this course is entirely based on Linux. I activated the wsl system but still it caused a lot of hurdles for me so I can't proceed further with the course. although the course knowledge and the instructor were good.

Super extra long course covering so much it's not properly explained. Trying to show everything while poorly explaining many. Also, encouraged 100% of the time to "practise", while absolutely no practise at all is provided.

You need have other knowledge for example Linux command, Bash code and know some python module how to use... but this course not more detail to tell student how to use it. And the quiz or lab will use it...

Good class but I have a lot of problems to finish my assigments and tests. How I can finish this course if the automatic review does not allowme to pass even though my answer were correct

You really need to already know what they are talking about in order to get through this course. It could definitely be designed better, if professional educators were consulted.

please have more texts. i don't like watching video for things i can glance about and having more text is better for reviewing programming syntaxes while doing tests

This course was super slow paced until the last two chapters. The final project is way too hard compared to the other projects.

Some of the test were just cut-and-paste to fill in the code.

The final test was challenging and good to write actual code.

This course would have benefited from more clearly defined learning objectives.

I wish the instructor would explain some concepts instead of just reading them.

I felt this course jumped around to too many topics and was not focused enough.

concepts could be elaborated more clearly

Not info help struggled to finish

always got rejected by qwiklabs

Not enough actual coding.

I think it is very bad.

Not enough exercises

lab is bull shit

Difficult

Sure. From the moment the course started I felt I made a mistake since your google instructors are more interested in their appearance and how they read their script than the content of what they are "teaching."

You sent us many times to "read other resources" rather than going deep and EXPLAIN the concepts yourself, not just let the students assume the responsibility to go deeper which I can guarantee you they will not.

Then, I found very well explained Python courses in youtube where the instructor was sincere, knowledgeable and you didn't have to see his face all the time like yours. He spent 100% of the videos showing a screen with CODE and HOW TO DO THINGS one concept after another non-stop, rather than a stupid face with makeup. I mean, seriously, this is not a class about philosophy where you need more talk than action but the opposite.

Yes, it was your course in general that made me quit and continue on my own. Google meant something when it wasn't evil 20 years ago, but now not so much. Besides, getting a badly explained "certificate" from google is like getting a certificate from Oreo Cookies, Inc. Just embarrassing. Don't you think?

Can I get a refund?

Thanks!

I would have given this course a higher rating if it were not for the terrible labs being offered by Qwiklabs using an arhaic test editor. This is no fault of the instructor who presented the material vocally ok but was a bit too trigger happy in not displaying the demo code on the screen long enough for us to see it. Had to keep rewinding to see the code

In the last module(Week 7) we are supposed to write a program from scratch. This involves substantial programming effort since it uses nested dictionaries. The program needs as input a textfile containing logs and named syslog.log It would have helped us tremendously if this file was made available either in the code window or with the option of downloading. Everything else could be copied from the instructions and pasted into our local editor but this one important file is not available.

Add to this typos in the instructions and a lousy editor and you have a nightmare of a time doing this last important lab

Get your act together, Qwiklabs and Google

The content the module intends to teach is great. The execution of the module is a dumpster fire especially when arriving at the final lab and final assessment (Beware Python veterans). Those are the points where the module goes from holding your hand too much to forcing you to guess what results the "Progress Checks" are looking for. You are expected to turn their guided pseudo code to functional scripts and even when you achieve the desired result, the content of your script can prevent you from progressing; then it becomes guess work to give it what it wants due to lack of direction from the instructor and lack of feedback from Qwiklabs. Some of the videos were okay but overall, I can't believe Google is okay with putting there name anywhere near this infuriating module. So happy I got it over with.

I don't recommend this course. As for novices in Python programming, it has a lot of almost not discussed in lectures things. As for other, it is simply time wasting. Seeing some samples, you realize that not all of them are samples of good code. I am not eager of PEP8, but some things about comparisons with True/False are very reasonable.

In labs is using Python3.5 but not declared in the very begging of the course Python3.7. Maybe this is not so important, but some things from re (discussed in the course, by the way) from Python3.7 is unsupported in Python3.5. Also, labs with only dully typing text from one window to another are time wasting. There are some technical issues in labs with home directory accessing. There are no typed scripts from lecture provided. ...

Pretty bad experience with this course.

I'm in the Qwiklabs Assessment, week 1, It took me a long time to get into the first assessment due to the poor explanations. Support from Qwiklabs, useless. This is a matter of click and paste and even then, I ended up with an error.

What annoyed me the most is that there were zero explanations about the network module in the course, even that, google decided to evaluate me for that.

But what worried me the most were all the personal info that they asked, I wonder what for.

Is this the way google recruits new kids?

I don't recommend this course to anyone.

This is not a Python class, this is a Linux class. The Readings are totally useless. Could as well just change all of them by "python.org". The Practices are way worse than the first course. The Graded tests are horrible as well, too much work to use a Linux VM to basically copy codes from the instructions. Last time had to "write" (=copy) the script three times because of Linux commands errors. Again, not a Python course. If not mandatory for the Google Certificate, would have abandoned this one on the first week.
