I wish here was more on OS. I am not sure how much of OS knowledge we would need in the field. I will take an OS course to get a good handle of the subject matter.

There was only one problem with the entire course, the audio had very poor quality.

On the other hand the course was very well built, lots of good content.

A good introduction, but it didn't seem like all the information was useful, and I didn't learn as much as I thought I would. However, it is a good enough course.

Good overview class; excellent for beginners. Video quality a little choppy at times. Second week's workload seemed unbalanced to the other week's requirements.
