I really enjoyed this class! I never knew that there was so much to IT or the internet! I knew there were things needed to make the internet function, but never this much! I am excited to be able to continue on and learn lots more. The classes and the instructors are awesome!

This is a fantastic course. Lovely and friendly instructors who broke down each step in a way that even a layman can stand up and say he is a voice.

I can't appreciate Google and Coursera enough for this wonderful opportunity to learn;...isn't that the beauty of the internet?

El curso es muy enriquecedor, uno quisiera comprender todo, pero es un conocimiento tan vasto, que uno muchas veces se pierde en el. Uno anhela manejar todo en un santiamén, lo cual no es posible, porque a todos les ha llevado mucho tiempo el dominarlo. Gracias por el curso.

This is a great starter course for IT. Weeks 1 - 5 were very broad in terms of the technical information that you learn. However in Week 6, lots of great information about dealing with users that I ended up taking more notes during that week. And I plan on re-watching again.

I will most likely refer back to this, especially the interview and resume tips, this is all most definitely essential aspects to have both in life, and in the IT field, learning from scratch was no issue and that's an amazing feeling Google has helped me achieve, thank you.

It was a great experience. Most online or CBT is boring and does not have actual user involvement. This did and I liked that very much. I will continue to take these classes as I am an information junkie and the more I get the opportunity to learn the better. Thank you.

I've learned a lot about Technical Support Fundamentals and a lot of them I can directly apply to my computer systems at home and at work. It also satisfies my expectations to help me have the confidence to jump from my current industry to more IT oriented business or field.

This is a very fine course. The material covers board spectrum of computer technologies, with knowledgeable videos. There should be a more in depth focus on related lab material. But overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in the computer field.

Although most of this was a refresher for me, I really enjoyed the course. It was very well organized and the instructors were very knowledgeable. I especially enjoyed getting the background information from each instructor and details regarding how they got involved in IT.

This course is perfect for beginners. I learned a lot. Kevin, Devan, Cindy, Gian, Phelan, Marti and the others did an excellent job exposing their subjects with detail and precision. Thanks for your support. The quizzes and tests were challenging. I really enjoyed all of it.

The course is just wonderful, I want to continue studying as soon as possible. The best way to understand the basic principles is graphs and diagrams, I would like to see them more. From the complex positions I can note the study of Linux, I have never encountered it before.

If you are a beginner, this course is best to give you a head-start, to allow you to learn the basics and apply them in your day-to-day work. People already familiar with computers or are using them for some time, may find nothing much special but all basics in this course.
