Great course, lots of very challenging and useful information. You'll learn about Linux and some of the inner workings of Windows, plus lots of tools and programs that are really useful. Great course!

Did NOT like this course. I felt the information was disjointed and not comprehensive enough for beginner levels. The microsoft labs are wonky and slow as well.

What good is a course that can't be finished? A monumental waste of effort and time! I will never even consider taking another course through Coursera.

Awful labs and the ending lab doesn't update in real-time with what you've accomplished while also giving no direction like all previous labs.

Of all the courses, this one was by far the worst. From the presenter to the 2 final labs, I enjoyed all of the courses BUT this one.

I got financial assistance for this course, and after the completion, instead of giving me the certificate, asking for Verfiy ID.

Very buggy and glitchy courses. Hard to access. Needed support because certain assignments wouldn't load on my PC or laptop.

The Qwiklabs are awful. I cannot pass week 4 Linux and there appears to be no support. Have already wasted hours on this.

Worst course I've ever taken. Pointless and Labs have incorrect instructions which makes it difficult to complete.
