The course is nice, but assignments can only be passed by being reviewed by unqualified peers. That's why I quit. Just implement some tests to evaluate student assignments.

Very well written, exercises are well thought out. Definitely worth taking if you want to get into go programming language and have a little computer science background.

This was not a productive course at all! there are many syntaxes problems in the codes which by the way are only shown in the slides, first I tried to learn go using this course but now I decided to learn go using other online resources

The code assignments should be graded through unit tests not peer reviewed, I had code that was working and unit tested (so I knew it worked) and someone graded that is didn't work, which was incorrect.

Why say something in once concise sentence when you can say it in hundreds of words? There is so much unnecessary waffling in all these Go courses. Not to mention mistakes.

I expected to see Ian writing and running codes. Just talking like that I think does not help. I took a programming course here and it was far far better.

Very basic, suitable for people with no expertise in the field. It is missing a lesson about the go command itself, and the tools it provide. The Tour of Go is way better.
