This has been an exciting and really an eye opener in the field of IT Support, although as such a short course, I think every one out there should take this course as a stepping stone into the IT because it gives all the basics needed to dive into the bigger picture of IT support.

It was an amazing course and the knowledge shared was most valuable. Each and every person from Google had a specific cool IT vibe in their ways of teaching and their expression of passion towards technology. I most certainly can feel it and would be happy to learn more from each one of them.

One of the things that I appreciated most is that I was able to have life interrupt my studies yet I was able to come right back to where I was and pick back up.

I appreciate those who are presenting the information as I found them easy to relate to.

I think Gayle and Marty deserve Webby's. :)

This is my first time taking a course from Google. Of the several courses I have attended, in terms of learning materials, Google's course provides material that is relevant to what happens in the field and not only focuses on improving knowledge but also improving soft skills as IT Support.

Super engaging! Well paced and spaced out nicely. I feel that there is room to challenge the student a little bit more. I definitely enjoy the step by step process in small consumption rather than long winded explanation. The change in presenters keeps the information more engaging as well!!

The course is good at presenting the subject matter without overwhelming the student. I found the sections on preparing a resume and handling an interview well done and gave me a view of understanding skills I have developed in other employment and how they can be carried over to an IT role.

I loved this course. The content was very interesting and presented in a way that made it easy to take up and feel less bored. I especially liked how it was broken down into small 5 or 10 minute videos which together made up such important technical content that was could be easily digested.

Great intro course to IT. I took this course coming from a health background- I have been a registered nurse for 8 years now- and I had no prior formal IT training. I appreciate everything I learned and look forward to using this knowledge as I transition from bedside nursing to an IT role.

Brilliant course to learn the basics of IT and support, provides basic knowledge on the internet, hardware and operating systems. My favorite module was that on troubleshooting which demonstrated live scenarios of troubleshooting and how best to handle them to achieve customer satisfaction.

It was challenging in the best way. The instructors were clear a precise. I can't believe I know how to build a computer! If I had to critique I would say to make it where the corrections of information is able to be saved in a note. Otherwise Coursera is awesome and they make you think:)

Very interesting program. Teach basic Fundamental about IT, perfect if you don't have any IT background. But this program is too simple and easy for me plus I don't get encouragement from work because according to our IT Dept. It won't get credited for getting an IT job in their department.
