It was really great for me. I only have an Associates Degree in IT and that was 4 years ago because I stopped. Enrolling in this course refreshed everything that I learned before and even added more.

A very good overview of key elements of personal computers and networking in the age of the internet. Truly starts from the basics of the 1's and 0's of the binary world and how computers "compute".

As an IT specialist, I wanted to make sure I had the basics down. I was able to get through this course very quickly, but this course is really good at starting from scratch and building upon itself.

The course is very inforamtive and well-organized and it is presented in a good way suitable for the beginners. However, I did not like the quiz labs because they always make my screen stop working .

This was fun. I thought parts of it got a little more detailed without providing underlying information or didn't get into enough information but I understand that this is the introduction to it all.

It wasa nice refresher in my case; however, two of the tests were completely in Russian and the screen was clearly trying to have me install a hard drive into what is definitively a video card slot

This course is full of a lot of information. I wish there were even more practical projects to do. I love any opportunities for hands on application. I did find the network section very challenging.
