Great course! Good start for any IT career. I love the fact that there are no pre-requisites required to enroll. Not even a high school diploma needed just your willingness to learn. Thank you Google!

I enjoyed going through this course. I already had IT background and the course was straight forward. However, I recommend this to anyone who want to start career in feild of IT, it would absolutely help you understand even without any background in IT.

Very good entry level information. Some of the time allotment felt a bit rushed. I had been under the understanding it was going to be more of complete at my own pace. Once I realized this I just pushed myself to get it completed as quickly as possible.

That was an excellent start to this course. I feel a little less worried and a bit more prepared to start digging in to the meat of this learning. Well done on making it so user friendly and accessible to those of us just starting out on this journey.

Wow, even as a person who was exposed to computers at a single-digit age, this answered so many questions and clarified so many things that I never even knew I was missing. I'm genuinely excited to keep pushing through the full course. Full steam ahead.

The course briefly covered major topics to let you get a feel for what you will be doing and give you a basic understanding of the course. It was a good combination of listening to videos, reading and taking quizzes. It was great for a beginner course.

Amazing concise content which is amazing for high school students that have taken an (AP) advancement placement class on Computer Science. Hobbyists that program using software in Java, Python, and C++ will easily understand the content in this course.

I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The work load(h.w. & test)was just enough, so i could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed

I have been in IT held desk support for years and there was still SO MUCH for me to learn and take away from this program. Highly reommend that even if you are a veteran in the field this is such a good refresher and pretext to a deeper understanding.

Getting Coursera to recognize grading from the external learning tool the first time it was used was the most difficult part, though the instructions explained it perfectly. Other than that, it was a very straight forward and easily understood process.

It was the great learning experience with the enthusiastic tutors of Google. I learned some of the important fundamentals of IT from ground level which everyone should be aware of in today's world. Thanks for giving this opportunity to learn and grow !

Excellent introduction to computer IT. Cover the fundamentals and core concepts. Much of it I knew, but what I didn't know, filled in a ton of big holes. For someone who knows nothing about IT, this course is a perfectly paced start. Well done, Google!

I really enjoyed these online classes. I've attempted online learning before, but the visual aids of actual people lecturing and showing examples were huge in helping my understanding throughout the course. I look forward to learning more via Coursera.

amazing course, very fun and productive at the same time, I gave 5 stars but at one point the VM stopped working even though I finished the task, but it only took me 10 minutes to redo so I guess it wasn't too much of a train smash. Highly recommended
