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!

After talking with several IT guys, no one can tell my why there was so much focus on bash instead of teaching Chrome OS or iOS

The quiz for Week 2 is 20 questions long and repeats questions and the answers mix systems together. Annoying and inaccurate.

Linux and MS OS should been taught separately. Learning both OS at the same time can be confusing.

Get real teachers to actually teach, and give real work for us to do to make this worth anything.
