Thank you so much for this amazing interactive course. I enjoyed every part for improvement suggestions please consider increasing the lab projects' time a bit so that students can be on less pressure

I really think this is a good way to get people that hasn't had interaction with GCP before on track, but it also is of really good use for regular users to discover more capabilities of the platform

Some of the quizzes are confusing in how questions are asked. In a couple of multi-check answers, it is not clear if more than one answer is desired, which is inconsistent.

Some of the questions based on the video expect one to remember a small and obscure statement which isn't highlighted as important in the video.

Good and wide coverage, but lots of parts were particularly short, very brief introductions to subjects, while others (like the Kubernetes Engine or even Kubernetes itself) much longer.

Tests were very basic and simplistic - in one case I remember an 1 minute lecture followed by a 1 question test.

The videos seem more like a quick-paced, salesy overview of the technology, I found it difficult to take notes. The answers to the questions in the quiz aren't always directly discussed in the materials, you'll need a decent tech background to infer some of the answers in the quizzes.

The content is good, but the pace is too slow. Additionally the way the content is presented is very flat. I'd prefer a bit more passion and enthusiasm. All in all a decent course, but nothing that couldn't have been learnt just by browsing and playing around with GCP trial.

This course though has good labs section but poor lecture section , In my opinion lab section be merged with lecture section will enhance much better onsite/on-job understanding, will also prevent unnecessary span of course making small things spread and difficult to grasp

Anfangs war der Kurs sehr informativ, z.B. bei der Aufschlüsselung der verschiedenen XaaS-Fälle. Zum Ende hin hatte ich aber mehr und mehr den Eindruck, einer Werbeveranstaltung beizuwohnen. Die interaktiven Elemente waren dann auch sehr oberflächlich gehalten.

The information is ok, the problem is how its presented. The instructors feel more like a text2speech programs reading from text file. Also the Coursera interface is not that friendly, you need to scroll 5+ pages to find your progress in the "navigation" page.

The course was not that great compare to IBM, AWS and other organization or services. The demonstration of teaching module was hard enough compare to AWS. The labs were upto 80 % so overall it was a good learning modules but can't say GREAT.

the labs needs to be amended to reflect the current UI of the GCP console especially for the BIg Query lab, the directions do not match the UI in the GCP console. I wasn't able to completed in the allotted time.

This is not 11 hours worth of work unless you just run through everything and don't take notes. Recommendation is to extend this to two weeks so people do not rush through it since it contains many topics.

It skims over a lot of topics, the labs are more about doing some pre-defined steps without explaining what is going on in those steps. The entire course is more of an advertisement than an actual course.

Scripted lectures are not natural and are harder to follow. Instead of reading a script verbatim, have some basic talking points and then use your own words ... like your audience is a real human being

This course is geared towards users that have notable experience in cloud infrastructure. The labs are mindless and do not clearly explain the why or rational behind a course of action.

This is one of the worst course were a lot of contents to be done on a single week. Please split the course. But the content was awesome. This course was in unstructured manner.

Very high level overview of GCP. Instructor is awful and doesn't sound either interested or fluent with the material. Seems like an instructor with little actual experience.

Way to much information packed into 1 week. The labs were nice but I don't think I'd be able to do much of it outside the course. Needs more detail.

You don't really learn much in the course, other than the really bad names Google has chosen for several of their managed storage/database services.

"MB" command in the Getting Started with Cloud "VM Instance" will not allow a "Bucket" to be created, there is no "Help" section to Trouble shoot?

I am not able to complete the course,

the graded external tool quiz doesn't get passed at all,

it is literally irritating since two months.

Looks like there is an issue with the course updating to completion. Having issues getting past the first week to update progress.

A basic introduction to which Google Cloud products to use when - and how amazing Google is for sharing all these products with the world.

The lectures were informative, the labs have missing info about setting the project values, which causes errors that waste a lot of time.

Dan is about as monotone and boring as it is possible to be. With Google's money a decent voice actor should not be hard to find.

This course needs a new presenter. Content was interesting but they need someone more lively to present the material.
