Mixed video, activity, and test help me focus and learn so much. And we can try many times in the test help us gain more confident and chance to enhance where we haven't understand. Such a great work.

It is really very good course to pursue for the peers starting their careers from the ground level, all the notes are easy to understand, quizs are tricky and same time easy to crack only if we are attentive to whole session.

A very well-planned course structure with easy to digest content! Universities and colleges should take note on Google's online learning model. It could help with retention of their students earning their degrees 100% online.
