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!

You have to practice if you really want to learn with this course, that will prepare you for the final lab. Sometimes while doing the labs, things don't go as planned, so be ready for a few surprises, luckily you can get help from support or come back to it when you better prepared.

Qwik labs problems were frustrating on the week 6 windows test. Known bugs have not been fixed, show up in google searches from a year ago. Advise people they need to update VLC to 32 bit and not 64 bit version please. Qwiklab customer service only tells you to watch videos.

I loved this course. The only flaw I have encountered was with week 3, the Windows lab. There were a number of issues with that lab, and from the discussion board it looks like many other people had issues as well. There were a number of "work arounds" that everyone came up.

This was an intense course because there was so much material and commands. However, with some practice and note taking it's not so bad. Especially, helpful when it came to doing the labs since it's hands on practice. I learned quite a bit and enjoyed this course quite a bit.

Very easy to digest the massive amount of information presented. The only reason the course didn't get 5 stars is because of the issues plaguing the labwork for windows. I was unable to use the spacebar in any of them and the final windows lab straight up crashed at the end.

A good course that gets you acquainted with manipulating OS. It makes it all less daunting. the instructor was a little impatient with explaining concepts but her external links did lead me to a better content to better explain what she was teaching. Overall, a good course.

I enjoyed having labs which allowed us to apply our learning. However, many user's experienced trouble connecting to some windows RDP sessions also due to the recent windows 10 spring update which required a work around. Inspite of this. The linux lab's all worked very well.

I really hate the changes you've made from having us connect remotely to what you've done now with the new tab in the browser. I realize it was for accessibility purposes but this was done incredibly poorly and was a great source of frustration of both myself and my cohort

Considering how dense this course is with information, I am satisfied with the overall flow and structure of the course. I've definitely come away from this course with a good foundational understanding of how to interact with computers from a more technical point of view.

The instructor was great; however, some modules didn't cover all the material in detail for the hands on exercises (the installation of VLC player on Linux) also the VM crashes from time to time. Other than that I am very satisfied with the course and the customer support

Learned a lot. I'm really happy with the labs, I wish there were just a ton more labs with more detail as to the different ways similar tasks could be accomplished, to tie everything together. I feel like some information is easy to glaze over when not used in practice.

For a 'mid-level begineer ' (not a full beginner with CLI (I had used command prompt before) but a full beginner with PS and bash certainly), I would recommend more practice exercises like the ones in the last quizz (providing outputs for us to determine the meaning).

The amount of information and practical application in this course is amazing. This issue is with the labs, but if you have an issue the support desk is amazing at helping. The key to ensuring the right grade is waiting after finishing each task until a score is given.

Concise instruction on operating systems, the command line, and utilities for better managing the Windows and Linux OS. The instructor explained things clearly and demonstrated many commands. Also appreciate the new glossary. Great for looking up or reviewing terms.

It was a lot of information and very challenging at times. I do like how it's broken down into smaller videos for better understanding. As for the labs the instructions may need to be more precise. I did learn a lot in the course and hope to remember most of it.

This is a wildly useful course but it covers a huge amount of material. Access to both Windows and Linux, even if it's just a VM, is a MUST because there's really no way to learn this material without practice and repetition outside of the regular class material.

I guess it is a pretty good course for absolute beginners. Most system admins should have no problem finishing all the graded labs in an hour, that is waiting for the labs to be prepared takes longer than the time needed to complete the labs themselves (windows)

This course was definitely tough. This would be great with lots of examples provided. Had to look elsewhere for more and better examples most the time; very time consuming. Other than that, learned a lot and became more aware of the day-to-day of power users.

Very thorough and comprehensive course! Only issues with be is that there are errors with the subtitles here and there but they aren't lesson breaking just really annoying. And the Linux portions of this course could have been expounded on a little bit more.

When asked about where to start looking at a log the course said top or bottom yet when i checked bottom i was marked wrong on this. Some of these courses have taken some trial and error even when using the information provided. Overall pretty informative.

Tons of good information and helpful tips - take lots of notes and make sure you keep a log of all the commands you learn. Docking one star because some of the Labs are super slow/glitchy and you will need to figure our workarounds to make progress in them

very good details. learned a lot. Wish there were more practise lab with real time secnario to understand commands better. but overall good. if this course gets update in future try to have more quiz or more questions in quiz. and more lab time.
thank you

Estuvo bien pero las herramientas de practica son horribles porque literal hay veces que no te las cuenta y las tienes que repetir 10 veces o se bugea y no funcionan correctamente sin mencionar que cambiaron el sistema y la interfaz grafica empeoro mucho

the labs, as amazing as they are, were sometimes very glitchy and while I could do all the right steps, something within the lab would be messed up and I would either have to restart the lab completely or find a work around that would be seen as accurate

I felt the course itself was informative. However, the labs were horrible. There was so many errors with the lab itself. The labs really need to be updated or removed with something else. A lot of other students were having issues with the labs also.
