Great intro. If you already know the basics, you probably don't need this course though. Not much of a deep dive, more of a "skim the surface" type course. Week 4 on IO was the most beneficial for me.

some of the best, clearest, easiest to understand explanations I've ever come across. Other computer science instructors should do this course. not for them to learn Go, but to learn how to explain.

It gives you the basics, but iI didn't like how it was structured.
No labs, only questions and peer review and the lessons were boring

Course is simple and to the point.
I believe automated assignments will help improve the rigor and remove variability in scoring.

Em alguns momentos o curso é muito superficial, vale a pena procurar sempre mais material depois da aula.

A bit messy, some examples do not work because of typos, explanations could be much clearer honestly

Me gustaría que tuviera más ejercicios con código y quizas clases más dinámicas

More examples can be added in the videos illustrating basic operations.

Completely theoretical course. Only assignments are coding practical.

transcripts are illegible due to lack of spacing. a lot of verbal redundancy. go reference material links not linked from course description. first assignment wants a screenshot. subsequent ones are peer reviewed and never e.g. programatically compared against test cases as in other coursera courses. some assignment prompts lack detail e.g. why initialize slice to 3 elements when taking in user input and displaying sorted slice?
covers some language basics, no better than exercism's go track which is free https://exercism.org/tracks/go/

Pretty decent course with two flaws:
tagged as an Intermediate course while going from very basic stuff.
most of the assignments can be script graded while using peer review and people just grade it in pure randomness. Somebody just gives you a full point while others grade you on a error handling issue considering the assignment is just a toy program showing you can use a slice or something

Course was very introductory on high-level topics for a class that assumes you are an intermediate or higher programmer. Requirements for weekly assignments were confusing and left a lot of unanswered questions on how certain things should be handled. Peer-based grading clogged the message board with "please grade my assignment" posts and unequal grading standards.
