Excellent course on SRE principles. Peer reviews are awkward due to lack of metric information, but they content attempts to re-enforce the principles and provide practical experience to the learner

The course itself was great. It was a bit upsetting to see that many of the assignments submitted by our peers are mostly copy and paste from the lectures or direct copies from the examples...

While the concepts presented in the course are valuable and important, the way they are presented is extremely dry and difficult to follow. I would not be surprised if both the text and videos (besides the intro videos with 2 people) were all AI-generated. Concepts that could be explained easily are presented as they'd be in an academic paper. You're better off reading the transcription over and over rather than watching the videos.

The material in this course was very useful, but in general I found the presentation to be horrible. The transcripts need to be better formatted -- just put a few line breaks in.

And the presenter of weeks two and three is very hard to follow. He speaks way to fast and it's almost just a stream of consciousness. You have to follow along with the transcript, which makes it impossible to watch the slides next to him.

The course content is great! the videos are very good! the questions are good also. There is just 1 thing that is really poor about this training: the peer-reviewed questions. there is little (mostly no) feedback from the peers and the grading is very random. I hope you can change this to something more fair.

I'm also hoping for a sequel to this: with examples of the "wheel of misfortune", "post-mortems" etc.

The Course contents are good, but the Peer Review System is absolute crap. I have reviewed atleast 4-5 assignments where

1) The submission was blank

2) Someone left me msgs on my assignment that can i review them and give them max marks.

3) The SLO Risk Sheet submission was a copy of the Sample Google Sheet upto each decimal

4) The SLO RIsk sheet submitted by one person was the actual Sample Google Sheet link

Very poor content and continuous loss with different people and topics.

For example, What is SLI, SLO and SLA? Here my question.

Should be broken into two. Most people do not need the excuritating detail at the end.

The assignments are painful. You have no idea what it should look like, because none of the videos actually go through an example written result.

This course is really hard to complete, due to assessment score is dependent on other people. This make learning and be better at SRE is slow.

Its mostly cover theory.

It would be great if there are more practical example with step by step process for better understanding.

Knowledge content was very well presented. However, the assignments were not as concise at to what was expected.

The instructor is only reading the manuscript, and the students are just learning a compressed version of the introduction. It is difficult to fully grasp this knowledge through limited learning. Open questions and peer review are actually not so useful.

The "quiz's" are mostly guess work, and they provide no feedback once they are passed. How is anyone supposed to learn a topic, when they are asked to answer questions on items they were not taught, and given no feedback on, once completed?

I found this training to be very difficult to follow. Even the submissions are difficult to achieve properly and the peer review process I really think does not provide any value.

It's all Youtube videos and thought exercises that come from Google's SRE book. Why is this a course?
