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.

This course wasn't nearly as intense as the previous ones. It was kind of relaxing actually, learning about these Theoretical Concepts. I really enjoyed this course, and am looking forward to finishing the Specialization!

It was challenging at times, but very hands on and a gave a great summary of the services and tasks a system administrator has to perform to support an IT Department. I am looking forward to next course in the program.

Excellent course very complete and very understandable, you do need to look into depth to some of the subjects by yourself but it gives you the base understanding you need to be able to understand, totally recommended.

Informative module with well explained core tasks of Sysadmin. The teacher for this module well presented each lesson, and event though I found lessons about Active Directory difficult I liked the way it was presented.

The level information pointers provided is amazing. I wish there were less Supplemental reading and more presentation and hands-on labs. Loved the Qwik Labs.

Devan is quite knowledgeable. Loved his presentation skills.

This course opened my mind to really understand what System Administration meant from a broader perspective. This is a great course for freshers as well as a refresher for IT Pros. I recommend this course to others.

It was a bit dense in Network Services in week 2, and some of the Qwiklab labs were a bit harder to follow. But all in all I like the Sys-Admin role as it is a eagle eye view of a company's IT operations. Thank you.

Great Course. I would really prefer if the Instructors would delve into the instresting stuff, instead of "chec it out in the next supplemental reading"....gets old after a while.

Other than that - I am very pleased!
