The course provided a decent overview of the fundamental aspects of IT work. However, it could have gone more in-depth into how a computer works beyond the hardware basics. I don't like how the course starts with a large section about how AI works before talking about how "the CPU is the brain of the computer". I almost quit the course because the AI section was a slog of information to get through. I also don't appreciate how much information this course contains about Microsoft products. Yes, many are used in modern office settings, but this course also felt like a plug for Microsoft products. It didn't give me an accurate idea of other common products and software used in various business tasks.

The course is poorly written, not to mention CompTIA A+, it is not even as good as Google IT Support and IBM IT Support courses. Have you ever seen an introductory course on computers that starts with the so-called security instead of introducing the various components of the hardware, then the operating system, etc., step by step?

Sure! Here’s a shorter version: Reflection on Course Completion This course greatly enhanced my understanding of computers and operating systems. I particularly enjoyed learning about distributed systems and data management. The sections on data lakes and warehouses were challenging, but using additional resources and discussing with classmates helped me overcome these difficulties. I'm now curious about how emerging technologies like quantum computing will impact operating systems and data management. I plan to explore this further and would appreciate any recommendations. Overall, the course has improved my technical skills and supported my professional goals. I look forward to applying this knowledge in my career and connecting with others who share similar interests.

Beginners get your notebook's out. Your course in Microsoft IT Support Specialist is easy to navigate with short reading material, AI chat available to hone your skills, and videos loaded with information that summarize the course. Think logically, question your knowledge, and begin to understand what technology is and why we use it. AI technology and learning machines will bring about new challenges that will need you to secure our world against cyber-attackers. WELCOME and remember to have fun while learning a new skill at your own pace.

Me gusta cómo se cubrieron temas desde los conceptos básicos de hardware y sistemas operativos hasta aspectos más avanzados como la seguridad de la información y la gestión de riesgos. Esto proporciona una perspectiva completa y equilibrada que puede ser beneficiosa para cualquier persona interesada en la informática y la seguridad cibernética.

This is a great course, even if you have previous knowledge in computers this can help you to get updated information about new storage options or cloud services.

The course provides a great introduction to Computers, hardware, software and network basics, overall you will go from Novice to Computer Literate.

Details of the course in videos, readings, quizzes, and availability to review and retry; sets up a student to succeed. Thank you
