So much information was packaged in this course but it was so well organized and delivered that I was compelled to complete every segment. Well timed quizzes helped to ensure my comprehension as well.

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.
