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.

A very good course for intermediate GO learners. I won't recommend this course to absolute beginners, It will be very helpful if you learn some basics of the GO language before taking the course

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.
