Loved this course, and how you can work at your own speed. I also enjoyed how the information was presented. The only thing I'd change is to maybe have a instructor that we can email questions to. Thank you for this opportunity. :)

Really well put together, as a result the information is absorbed and understood with ease.

The examples to illustrate to the student are simple yet very effective.

The course has the right amount of videos VS reading VS questionairs.

Very concise lessons and materials. Each lesson progresses based on the previous one, and they repeat a lot of terms to really grasp the meaning of everything. Really practical course with a lot of real-life examples and exercises.

Very informative and up-to-date course. I like Google's training style; it cuts to the chase and it is both minimalistic and assertive at the same time. Way to round up and compress a ton of information in a well-structured manner.
