I really loved going through the content on this course, I learnt how to navigate the windows OS, to explore its features. I always wanted to learn Linux, and this course gave me a first deep dive in the world of Linux. In short I loved it

Juda ajoyib kurs! Kursda operatsion tizimlar bilan ishlash uchun juda keng ko'nikmalar mavjud. Bu kurs mening hayotimda katta o'sish bo'ldi! Google kompaniyasiga ushbu kurs uchun kata rahmat aytaman. Cindy uchun esa alohida RAHMAT!!! :-)

It is a very thorough and comprehensive course. It does have a lot of supplemental readings that may be out of date because it is 3 years old. Some of the commands are for Windows 8, not Windows 10.

The course is great. I leaned a lot about OS specially about Linux Ubuntu and Windows PowerShell.

I have renewed some of the skills I knew plus added a lot of skills I din't have

Cindy is the best teacher, definitely my favorite module!

I liked it. Thank you. This course was tough.

I did not get the certificate

wow

I love the courses and I'm learning a lot. I do very well on the practical exams but the labs seem to be a problem. not that I can't do the work but the external tool that was used QWIK LABS caused me so much grief and headaches. the interface alway kicked me out of the lab or I would get stuck in a terminal and couldn't exit. for example the last two exams for this course I was almost done with the windows portion and I get stuck terminal and couldn't do anything causing me not to do the last question in the lab. which gave me a 80. I would have got a 100 just because of the qwik lab issues

second the linux lab had same issue gave up the first day could only do half the lab. went back redid the lab and got 100 percent after reloading the lab several times. I strive on doing well and exceeding expectations of my peers but the labs caused me to be frustrated at the way there utilized. I use a Mac computer and it was very difficult to navigate between the labs windows and back to my browser to follow the instructions.

I wrote more in depth comments after each week of the course.

In general I liked the course as well as the instructor. I gathered some useful information about IT and Operating Systems. However, I think the course could have be much more effective if

A) you used another learning strategy. Instead of having learners basically repeat precise instructions for five weeks and then, all of a sudden, give them tasks where they have to do things autonomously, why noted it gradually, a little bit each time?

B) you provided more opportunities to try out things and code along. It is a pity that I (as on owner of a Mac) learned only in week 5 that there would have been the possibility to use virtual box to vm windows on my computer or to install CLI on it.

What I like about this course and in general about all the Google Coursera courses I have taken so far is that the teacher are really engaged, very passionate about their topic and really knowledgable

The information was all there, but it could be structured in a more complete way that would aid in the understanding. There were a lot of jumbled up weeks where we jump back and forth between windows and linux OS. It would be a lot easier to retain the information and understand what is being taught if it were separated by operating systems and tested one at a time. [This would make notes a lot easier to index as well when studying or trying to refresh over a covered topic]

If the labs weren't punishing me for having a 2ms ping and 1gb connection. I'd rate it higher i spent 2 hrs troubleshooting a lab issue to finally realize that "Qwiklabs" for some reason is not efficiently receiving my inputs in the labs. I'd complete a task/lab and click on the link to check my work and it'll say it's not completed. I'd double check, triple check to no avail. Then whenever i contact support via chat. I got back and check it it completes. This is poor service from Qwiklabs. I shouldn't be punished for having a very fast connection.

Good course, one must be willing to dig in much deeper on the subjects as they are discussed very briefly.

The instructions for the labs "Updating VLC...Windows" did not show the correct line breaks.

Tough class. A lot of lectures and labs had issues.

Labs need to be reevaluated.

Week 6 is broken

There were a lot of errors - missing info in readings, and incorrect subtitles which made it hard to understand because sometimes Cindy's pronounciation was a bit unclear. I don't retain information well from videos (I found these ones especially wordy and hard to take notes from) so I really relied on the subtitles and they often let me down.

If I had known the course would be largely video-based I don't think I would have signed up. If you're someone like me that needs concepts laid out visually to better understand them you are out of luck.

One suggestion I have is to have a digital textbook as a resource to accompany the course, to outline the basic concepts. I feel like this would have really helped me and would go far to help others in future.

This needs to be arranged in a better way. My notes are so scattershot that it will be impossible to reference them for anything but this specific course without significant rewriting; this is primarily due to the course being arranged in an alternating windows/linux/windows/linux format. Aside from that, the information is good, the labs are interesting and well put together by and large. If we're learning this stuff to take it forward with us into a successful career, having straight-forward notes in a more sensible arrangement than provided here would go a long way in providing for the possibility that I keep them, use them, and have fond memories of taking this class while I do.

I felt the videos and the content of the course too overwhelming for a beginner, compared to the networking module. Although the instructor kept the videos short the overall comprehension of a particular subject was totally ignored. At times it was too confusing constantly switching between the windows and linux environment. This module needs a serious reconsideration in the layout of delivering for a beginner like me. Instead of of switching between the 2 operating systems, the instructor could just teach one OS at a time for better footing of the foundations of the subject.

There was a lot of information in this course that wasn't fully explained very well, such as rules of using the CLI in Windows and/or Linux. What order to put things in would have been nice as well as a deeper dive into what each command does and a provided command reference sheet, much like the Glossary that is provided. This course left A LOT to be desired. While it is easy to simply "pass" the course, actually LEARNING the material required me to do a lot of my own research.

A lot of the labs do not work as advertised. Especially the very last one. You need to go through and correct them. I had to put in a support ticket on half the labs I tried to complete.

The last lab is buggged an never let me fully complete it resulting in overattempted and being locked out.

very frustrating not to be able to copy the thing to the windows power shell
