This lesson realy helpful for me to try search and optimize my script!

Great course, some problems with the labs but using forums was helpful

In one word: amazing! I learned more with this course than in college

It's been great

nice instructor

great course 🎖

Great Course !!

debug completed

good

This is the most IT-oriented (read "hardware") and technical course from the first four.

Impossible to work side-by-side with the videos, plus the technicalities filled the course.

Probably it proves useful for a sys-admin, but pretty useless for a newbie/junior developer.

Still, there are two things to take away from it: the module about binary search and the one concerning prioritizing tasks.

I would have skipped it, if it hadn't been a requirement for the certification.

This course may be good for someone who already has a job in IT, but I can't review it based off of a reality that isn't mine. For myself (trying to get a job that has to do with Computer Programming/Python) here was my experience: - Module 1 Lab was far too easy. Anyone that has completed a small portion of Course 1 in this specialization would be able to understand the coding involved. Anyone that has worked with the command line on Linux (anyone that has completed Course 2 and/or 3 in this specialization) wouldn't have an issue using the interface. I didn't feel like I gained any knowledge or competence from completing this lab. - Module 1 Test used so many unnecassary words to try to make something simple sound confusing. My first language is english & I found the wording confusing at times, if English isn't someone's first language I'm unsure how they would get through this. - Module 1 Test also had some incorrect information. One of the correct answers was that two different types in Python can never be added together. An Integer & a Float can be added together. - Lab 2 & Lab 4 it gave me full marks implying I did it correctly, however it did not feel like that. In Lab 2 it implied I'm supposed to be using multiprocessing module & potentially the os module, however I used neither, didn't really understand exactly what was wanted, then randomly clicked the "check" at the bottom for it to check if I did it correctly & it said I did. For Lab 4 it only wanted me to change one function, however in my solution I changed two functions. My solution also was way off, in that instead of showing all of the employees in lists the final output was only the most recent employee. Since the output was 1/100th of what it was before it did in fact go faster so the check just said I improved the efficiency of the program, even though it felt like I just messed up the program & got the wrong output. - Module 2 Test, I took all 3 tries, then something weird happened. After finishing the 3rd attempt when it let me check the questions to say which I got right & wrong, it didn't load the questions/answers from attempt 3, but loaded the questions/answers from attempt 1. I somehow got 100%, so I guess my attempt 3 must have all been right? Overall I did learn some debugging techniques, & did bookmark many pages that have links to additional info that I could go back to if the need arises during another course, so this course wasn't a waste of time, however the labs/tests seem to me like they were not programmed 100% correctly.

This course has little to do with Python and belongs in a different stack. It's more of a basic troubleshooting course for jr sys admins than an "IT Automation with Python" course. The course would be much better if it focused on Python and had more hands on Python exercises.

Its my 4th course of this specialization. Unlike previous 3 courses I found myself struggling to focus on this course because the content was more focused on video lectures and less practical problems.

it does not meet my expactation.this is the worst course i have ever seen

This course was harder than the previous, but it helped me learn way more! I'm so grateful for this opportunity and I'm super excited to see what's next. This troubleshooting concepts are so handy I think I'll keep using them in my everyday life. The thing I found most useful were the practical examples, because they made me better understand what the process of debugging looks like in real life.

As one reading said, most assume troubleshooting and debugging can't be taught. It was and taught well. You have to try the many tools suggested on your own, but there is a wealth of practical info. What makes code efficient was also taught, which many ignore as not needed. Even the basics of concurrency in Python were taught. Concepts taught speak well to Google's quality expectations.

The step-by-step process of solving a problem in a real environment by a possible problem which may be occurred in a real world, was interesting. All tools were introduced during this course, were very practical while troubleshooting and debugging. I was very happy that the content has of this course used the valuable and real experiences of the Google team in solving real problems.

Troubleshooting and Debugging Techniques" is an essential course for developers and IT professionals. It equips learners with a diverse set of problem-solving skills, from identifying issues to effectively debugging complex problems. The course's practical insights and methods are invaluable for enhancing troubleshooting capabilities in various domains.

Un excelente curso, dinámico, entretenido e interesante, con muchos aprendizajes aplicados directamente a casos concretos de la realidad cotidiana de un rol como IT support. Me llevo muchos consejos y recomendaciones sobre buenas prácticas, así como también una grata experiencia sobre la aplicación de estas herramientas directamente sobre el código.

Everything is well crafted, but I suggest you add a small recap reading after each module in each week, that is for example, after Week 1 Module "Introduction to Debugging" add a reading of recapping the while module in 4 or 5 points, and so on for all the other modules and all weeks. And at the end add a whole summary of the course.

Las técnicas de depuración y resolución de problemas aprendidas en este curso son realmente efectivas. He tenido la oportunidad de ponerlas en práctica en situaciones reales, y un problema con la VPN que me venía rompiendo la cabeza desde hace meses, ha sido posible resolverlo durante el estudio de este curso. Muchas Gracias!

This course was very beginner friendly.The instructor explained all the concepts in a very simple way. Ample amount of examples were provided both in the videos and reading material. Overall it is a very good course and i would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a beginner to Troubleshooting and Debugging concepts.

I received a valuable introduction to debugging, troubleshooting, and time management, which was presented in a clear and easy-to-understand manner. Prior to this, I had limited knowledge in these areas, but now I feel equipped to apply effective techniques and manage my time efficiently.

I am not new to Python nor programming, but I have to say I learned quite a few things from this course. The only part that I feel could be improved is the Qwicklab assessments, but the instructor was great and the information was enough to get me started on everything I wanted to learn.
