Good course but some of the terminology is wrong such as normal desktop PCs being referred to as workstations, built-in components being referred to as "cards" even though it's only supposed to refer to expansion cards (e.g. integrated GPUs incorrectly being referred to as graphics cards), and SSDs being referred to as hard drives. Some of the quizzes are also a bit dumb because some of the questions really have multiple correct answers and this course only recognises one of them to be correct, so you basically have to guess what answer they want you to choose for some of the multi-choice questions. Other than that it's a good course with a lot of useful info and I learnt a lot from it.

Decent course, I think there is room for improvement in exploring more avenues/topics specifically for troubleshooting since that is one of the largest parts of hardware and operating systems, but the basics was covered, so I have no complaints and I am grateful for this course. Thank you.

It was very educational and a great refresher. I wish there were more hands on tasks. I learn better when I can get more hands on tasks.
