This course was TREMENDOUSLY helpful in solidifying my foundational knowledge of IT concepts. The way things were broken down and explained seemed a little daunting at first, but honestly it was all very straightforward and easy to understand.

The Fundamentals course was excellent. The videos are short enough not to cause a laps in attention, but contain a lot of important information. The hands on labs are perfect. They are not just a simulation, they are real world environments.

I found that this course presented the basics in a way most people could easily understand. Some of the labs with the virtual spaces could be tough for someone with no experience. That being said I had no problem troubleshooting issues myself.

Very helpful in giving you the basics and foundation to build upon. I recommend this course even if someone has already taken something similar. It never hurts to level set and make sure your foundation for learning and understanding is solid.

Love the short videos with reading materials for further investigation. The format is simple and very well paced to allow the learner to absorb and retain information as well as get back to key areas for review. Thumbs up, Google and Coursera.

This course material might seem to you somewhat annoying, trivial, or unnecessary. However, it's unexpectedly satisfying and mostly does its job. I wonder how many lectors have been laid off in G*'s recent laying off of 6% of its workforce...

Great basic course of IT. Nice sections that helped pull it all together. My only nit would be that the instructors were all looking to the side, perhaps reading a script? Would have been more personable if they looked straight at the camera.

Really great job at slowly explaining the basics. I moved a little faster because there were certain things I already knew. It's awesome that you can go as fast or slow as you want. And the content that is taught is also tested. Great course.

Decent course that kept my attention and was broken down to manageable sections. If I ever felt overwhelmed it was easy to go back and review the pertinent videos without starting over or wasting considerable time looking for the information.
