i would give it a 5 out of 5 but one aspect i didnt like was that some of the images were hard to see or appeared very blurry besides that this was a good course.

Extremely informative, however I just wish there was more hands-on learning rather than just watching videos. Nonetheless, it is still a great course worth taking.

Very Concise The lecture doesn't bombard you with unnecessary jargons. Learned a lot about Roles and Process although the Windows/Linux part is kinda introductory

Good, but need to improve on the details.

I did a lot of search to underestand all the comcepts.

The general idea is there, but miss the point on explanation.

Learned a ton! The only suggestion would be to improving the quality of the content such as video graphics which was not up to the par at all. Thanks, IBM!

The course was great. Unfortunately some of the quizzes were not that obvious which created quite some confusions and frustrations in the learning process.

Good summary level course. Some overlap with the Intro Cybersecurity course. The operating system component is high-level and not too technical.

accents were sometimes challenging to dicipher; low resolution graphics of some diagrams meant some text could not be read
