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.

Great course, lots of very challenging and useful information. You'll learn about Linux and some of the inner workings of Windows, plus lots of tools and programs that are really useful. Great course!

Would rate 5 stars, but that VLC issue in the Linux lab on the last week took about a month off my life.

Some of the labs in this course are broken/out of date and sometimes hard to understand if they aren't.

Good piece of information.

But the bad side is that the tests are too easy and too guided.

Need to have more practice to learn the commands and have more practical assignments.
