Great course! Good start for any IT career. I love the fact that there are no pre-requisites required to enroll. Not even a high school diploma needed just your willingness to learn. Thank you Google!

this course challenged me in ways I never imagined. I'm not very computer saavy and I worked hard just to complete the first course section. I've been a stay at home mom for a nearly 20 years, when most were learning computers at work, so this is a foreign language to me.

I am genuinely enjoying the courses, they are informative and aren't overbearing. Being able to review data if I need to and moving at my own pace is much more enjoyable than being in a physical classroom. Also the courses are detailed and easy to follow and to learn form.

I feel like I learned a lot, all the instructors did a pretty good job at not just sounding like a drone reading a script. I like the video/transcript interface as I am a visual learner so being able to hear them and follow along with the texts worked well for me I think.

It is very informative and gives you a simple entry piont into IT, while leaving with a hunger to dive deeper into the intricacies that connect everything together. A definite must for anyone wanting to know more about technology and how it fits with our everyday lives.

This course was a good place to start. I would recommend supplemental study notes for some of the main points of the course. I had a hard time taking notes and keeping up with instruction. Thank you for the dialogue at the bottom. That was what saved me in most cases.

Very awesome experience to refresh my basic IT skills, also had fun learning some bits about Linux OS stuff since it wasn't taught in my school. Hoping for more learnings from Google and wishing that someday I can work there also and contribute great things to soceity! :D

Es un curso genial para aquellos qué quieren aprender más sobre un Soporte Técnico, aprendí cosas qué realmente desconocía la existencia como VM qué creí que era mucho mas complicado y no fue así, es una comunidad muy genial y me alegra a ver estar acompañado de ellos/as!

This is probably one of the most helpful, and informative courses I have taken on Coursera! The content was challenging, but not frustrating, and relayed in an easy to understand way for a beginner in the IT field.

HIGHLY recommended for anyone interested in the IT field.

A lot of information. I will be reviewing this course for a while until I fully digest all that information. However, it is highly recommended if you think you want to get into the IT field or any of the computer fields. Thank you again & I am moving on. Wish me luck.

This is a outstanding course. It breaks down the basics of a computer. I think that this course should be put out to the public on youtube. This is just general all around knowledge of a computer that would be helpful to almost anyone that has let technology pass them by!

I have no previous knowledge in computers and yet I am able to successfully understand almost everything that is going on! They explain the lessons very well and go into detail, which is what someone like me needs. This is a great course so far and I'm only half way done!

Excelente en todos los sentidos, considero que los ejercicios y practicas también deberían tener traducción para hacer mas fácil la comprensión de los estudiantes que no manejan el idioma a plenitud. Todo el contenido esta estructurado perfectamente y es super didáctico.

It was very nice that at this time in my life (46 years old), very old for the world of IT, I was able to learn the basis of IT from people that most of them could be have my age. Very informative and easy to digest even topics that seemed hard to grasp at the beginning.
