This is a course which I enjoyed. It gave a good insight of the learning methodologies which we have often heard of but not given due importance. Also, the brain facts is cool :) My 5/5 to this course

The best course so far. I feel like this course actually showed us things we would be doing day to day in the workplace. It's nice to problem solve since that will probably be a big chunk of the job.

I found this course helpful for the content. I think the supplemental reading should be google original content then the links given showing if you get stuck in the real world , here is the resource to solve the problem. Over all the videos can have more visual of important information. I did enjoy the course and I can be highly critical. If your new this gives a great overview of the System Admin Roles.

There were a lot of TYPE-O's that made it difficult to follow instructions and material. LABS didn't always load correctly or freeze and the 'help section' didn't reset or explain but gave a 'cheat sheet' to bypass the issue. I am a beginner who doesn't work much with computers, before or after the course, and will pursue more computer classes for a better understanding of setup and use.

Muy descepcionada con este curso por que a la mitad del curso los subtitulos en otros idiomas desaparecieron en todo el curso, y no tuve mas apcion que ir a buscar traductores externos u otras herramientas, al momento ya van 8 dias y no hay solucion, esto hace que sea mas lento el ritmo de aprendizaje y la cuota mensual igual hay que pagarla para ese pago no hay excusa

Way the material was presented was difficult to understand, and it was quite condensed. I often had to go to other sources to find out what the point was of the material being presented. Single pieces of info, vital to a newby, but well known to a professional, were left out. Stop assuming we are that advanced already!

it was painful to see the lack of concern for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. I absorb much more through reading and to see this from a company that is supposed to be all about knowledge. Hire some humans to do some proofreading. There were also a lack of real-life scenarios from which to practice.

Almost too much information here. Especially given the last week is just an assessment. The host of this module is highly knowledgable and is clearly well versed in all of this, but it felt like an onslaught of things i hadn't even heard of until this module. It was overwhelming at points.

This is too hard-cored for a beginner especially there are so many videos and assignments in this course. The subtitles need to be modified as it has lots of mistakes, as a student whose first language is not English, it's not that easy to understand the instructor without correct subtitles.

The exercises they provided in this course NEEDS a lot of revision and editing as they are hard to follow and harder to execute. The topics in this course however are decent as they cover a lot of topics but they are not explained as thoroughly as the previous courses in this specialization.

It was a good course.I wish they were real world example topic and I have learned new topic which I was not aware of but I was looking for in deep topic of Active directory and LDAP which was not covered. But overall the course was up to the mark. looking forward for another topic.

I did like learning more of the System Administration role in IT. Just had a difficult time with some of the graded quizes due to some of the question being a bit vague as far as how they are descripted. Mainly in the final graded quiz. Though I believe that is just me.

The labs were a bit better in this course and didn't move as fast as the other course labs. It also didn't over focus on Linux. The videos are great and the instructors have all been fantastic. The only issue I have is the labs seem to move faster then the videos.

not much in depth work on linux in this course, active directory is an expensive system on windows when you need to account for windows license and CALs. wish there was more on OpenLDAP (slapd) aside from installing it and then going yup its running... end session.

Course was good but many labs like accessing active directory were not accesible.So learnt many things like backing up the data and successfully restoring the data and testing it was useful and to plan for recovery management and write a post-mortem report

Good info, delivery needs work. I felt like on this course there were missing pieces that were removed. Somewhat confusing at times, and I have background in many of these topics. Also, presenter talked too fast, and sometimes wasn't easily understood.

Very informative and Im enjoying the class so far. However, the mentor in this class waves his hands around after every word he says and its really distracting and makes it harder for me to focus on the material. Other wise, its a good course.

I think the content is great and informative, but the lack of graded labs made the course feel less practical for me. The "final project" is short answer and receives no feedback so its really not an accurate estimate of what you learned.

The course's content is good overall but the instructor's poor pronunciation makes it difficult to understand what's being said many times. Also, some of the lengthy explanations in the Active Directory's session could be better formatted.

I found the lecturer's voice very difficult to follow. He had intonations and would pause at points where it did not make grammatical sense. The subject matter is so interesting and he managed to make it boring. Just being honest, sorry.

Windows labs were pretty bad. Latency, disconnections. There was one section where I had done 4/5 of the exercises, and Qwiklabs completely froze. I bailed out, and I got 80% for that section where I was not allowed to complete it

Virtual exams still need to have better instructions and less confusing data laid out for the user when taking the Virtual Exams. I had to repeat twice because I did not understand the instructions for a couple of the Virtual exams.

Alot of information understood the Active directories LDAP etc. Struggled understanding the server information and file directory stuff in weeks 1-3. Not a bad course but a ton of content. Felt rushed alittle in some of the videos.

we didn't have enough labs and a couple of them didn't even work. we needed to have a virtual server through Coursera with full access to practice as much as we could, but we didn't have it so this is the reason I am not happy.

Good overview and I liked the analysis assignment at the end. It lacked the practical exercises of the Operating System course where we could practice on the VMs. This would have definitely increased my rating for this course.

I feel like I have a good base of knowledge, but I don't know that I could actually solve any problems. There was a lot of info dumped on me, but I don't feel like there was enough context for me to understand it practically.
