This course was very informative and challenging. I really appreciate the way the course was put together. It would be ore helpful if the links to the readings were from material other than Wikipedia.

Working with windows is easier than Linux. I would need to log WAY more hours with Linux to feel more comfortable using it in the way I had here.

The only problems I really had were doing some qwiklabs. After I would do some of the required material it wouldn't give me credit for doing it.

Nice teacher. Some of the material is very dense and tbh could take years to fully absorb. Good work Google for creating this condensed version.

Very intense took a lot out my soul to complete this one. But I'm up for the challenge and ready to go on to the next. Forward into the fray!!!

It was good, if a bit easy. the remote connection (qwiklab) tests are a great idea, but I think I retained more by studying for graded quizes.

It's sad all the instructor have the same tone. Even the jokes seems to be read off a screen. A little more personality would be appreciated .

I learned a lot in this course! I enjoyed the information you can learn with logs, and I'm starting to feel more comfortable using CLI's now.

Liked the hands on labs. Might be nice to have some optional command line labs to help re-enforce the commands covered in the video lectures.

This one is very direct, a lot of reading, like a lot...now multiply that by 3, but once that is out of the way the lessons are very helpful.

There is a bunch to learn, very important information.

I felt like there were places you could sum it up with less overhead but overall great.

Very well put together course but I didn't like having to dig so much for info on how to do the labs. Otherwise great job and great course!

good course, the last lab in the course is pretty hard but it is also helpful to get the practical knowledge if you are a hands on learner

One of the labs with Linux partitioning was extremely difficult and it if wasn`t for the qwiklabs assistance I would have never gotten it.

a lot of the Linx portions were tough, had to go back several times to check the commands, and searching for the errors in linx was rough.

I used to think I am good at Windows Operating System but I learnt through this course that I still need to learn more. I am happy I did.

I enjoyed learning this material because it allowed me to challenge myself by understanding software and why a power user is important.

the labs can be very challenging for weeks 2 & 3,depending on your OS. A very informative course on Powershell and Linux for newcomers.

The last exercise for the course was tough! But worthy in that it really made me commit to troubleshooting and thinking things through.

It was a good course. The graded assignments could have been designed better. It was like simply copy-pasting the commands given there.

This so far was the most difficult course, because the commands are complex! But in the end, it left me feeling even more accomplished.

The Instructions in the Linux labs need to be a bit more clarifying. I was lost and didn't know how to finish it until I looked it up.

Some assessments were a bit aggravating, but overall an incredibly fun course that I recommend to any IT-interested people out there!
