I'm learning a LOT, and you don't have to take it quite as slowly as they suggest. But, it's nice that there's a manageable pace set out for you. Instructor and guests were great--relatable and clear.

I do not know why it is the best course I have ever had. Thank you, Google and Coursera, for providing such a great course. You cover many intensive and comprehensive items, particularly the speaker.
