Fed up of GCP teaching on Coursera: This will be probably be my last

I'm currently doing Getting Started With Application Development on the Developing Applications with Google Cloud Platform Specialization.

It's very clear that the instructor is just reading from a script, making it seem like they have no knowledge of the material. It's so unengaging and boring.

There's a bit where the instructor goes "gcloud...issss..aa command line tool". Loads of unintentional pregnant pauses.

This is probably going to be my last Google Cloud Coursera if I don't see a tangible benefit by the end of it. I'm just fed up with the teaching.

There's a guy called Evan that's really good (he specialises in Data Analytics), but for many of the coursers it's just some monotone voice reading from a script. It's horrible.

Compare this to Sal Kahn from Khan academy, or Dr Chuck on the Python coursers from UM. A nice, engaging, conversational tone.

Google need to change their teaching if they expect people to pay for this.
