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.

The things I liked more: good introductory videos, so far the course seems to be structured well

The things I liked less: forums are filled with requests to grade assignments, with very sporadic discussion of the course material; it's unclear what language features to explore in the golang documentation and how much exploration is acceptable - for instance, it's unclear sometimes when coming from other programming languages, the peculiarity, and advantages of slices - a deeper discussion on the subject would be appreciated. I tried giving fair assessment on peer-graded assignments but the feedback options are quite limited, copy/pasted formatted code from a terminal in the feedback would be more useful, I think - the current form field is pretty limiting.
