    Great course. I learned a lot about troubleshooting and debugging. Not only learned to troubleshoot small issues but also bigger issues with applications, equipment, servers, network, etc..

    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.

    Honestly, a 100% useless course. If it was not for the specialization as a whole, probably completely avoidable. It provides literally 0 practical examples, the "tricky labs" are a copy-paste joke with 0 neurons to put on, and the instructor does nothing but tell a story about how she solved issues she encountered in her professional life. Fine I guess for story telling, but definitely not instructive for learners.

    Course Review: "Troubleshooting and Debugging Techniques Course" Course Overview: The "Troubleshooting and Debugging Techniques" course is an essential part of the engineering curriculum, particularly for students specializing in software engineering, computer engineering, and related fields. This course provides a comprehensive understanding of various methods and tools used to identify, diagnose, and resolve issues in software and hardware systems. Content and Structure: The course is well-structured, covering a wide range of topics crucial for effective troubleshooting and debugging. It begins with the fundamentals of debugging, including understanding error messages, log analysis, and systematic problem-solving approaches. As the course progresses, it delves into more advanced topics such as: Debugging Tools: In-depth tutorials on popular debugging tools like GDB, LLDB, and IDE-integrated debuggers. Software Troubleshooting: Techniques for identifying and fixing bugs in software, including breakpoint management, stack trace analysis, and memory leak detection. Hardware Troubleshooting: Basic principles of diagnosing hardware issues, useful for students working with embedded systems or hardware interfaces. Case Studies: Real-world examples and case studies that illustrate the application of troubleshooting techniques in various scenarios. Best Practices: Guidelines for writing maintainable code and documentation to facilitate easier debugging. Practical Applications: One of the strongest aspects of this course is its emphasis on hands-on learning. Students engage in numerous practical exercises, labs, and projects that simulate real-world debugging scenarios. This practical approach ensures that students not only understand theoretical concepts but also gain confidence in applying them in actual situations. Instructor Expertise: The course is typically taught by experienced professionals who have a deep understanding of both the theoretical and practical aspects of debugging and troubleshooting. Their industry experience brings valuable insights and anecdotes that enrich the learning experience. The instructors are generally approachable and supportive, providing additional resources and guidance to help students grasp complex concepts. Course Materials: The course materials are well-organized and comprehensive. They include a mix of textbooks, research papers, and online resources. Additionally, video lectures and tutorials offer a visual and interactive way to learn debugging techniques. The inclusion of up-to-date tools and technologies ensures that the course remains relevant in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Challenges and Workload: The course is challenging, as it requires a solid understanding of programming and system architecture. The workload can be heavy, with regular assignments, projects, and exams designed to test students' problem-solving skills and ability to apply debugging techniques. However, this rigorous approach is necessary to prepare students for the demands of the Engineering profession. Student Feedback: Feedback from students who have taken the course is overwhelmingly positive. They appreciate the practical focus and the real-world applicability of the skills learned. Many students report a significant improvement in their ability to debug and troubleshoot issues, which proves beneficial in both academic projects and professional internships. Conclusion: Overall, "Troubleshooting and Debugging Techniques" is a vital course for Engineering students, particularly those aspiring to work in Software Development or Systems Engineering. It equips students with the critical skills needed to identify, diagnose, and resolve technical issues efficiently. Despite its challenges, the course's practical orientation, expert instruction, and comprehensive materials make it an invaluable part of an Engineering education.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    The screen for editing is very small and uncomfortable, some editor commands have effects in the browser (they open new windows), and the instructions to the final exercise are confusing: the first part of the exercise says how should the code look but shows the pre-corrected version.

    This course has opened my eyes about how can I figure something out, where do I have to start investigating something that isn't right, and even how to solve that problem with long-term remediation. Thank you for the instructor for opened up this whole new world for me, best of luck.
