Should of separate the lessons in a way where it compliments one another. Windows by itself and Linux by itself instead of mixing it one after another (Windows then Linux). But either way, good videos

This course really goes in depth with shell commands, and navigating the windows and Linux OS'It was very informative, and the tests walk you through using the commands by using virtual machines.

Course and instruction are great! I detest Qwiklabs. Other than having to use Qwiklabs, I would take this course again and again just for the fun!

Amazing course learned a lot about operating systems and computers networking. On the other side, the instructor was skilled but too fast to teach.

A very good course designed for all types of students but just a suggestion add more advanced Windows features and skip basics that everyone knows.
