This is a great crash course intro to IT Support. A lot of the content was familiar to me, but I learned a lot of useful things in the module on troubleshooting and customer service. I'm already applying those lessons to my daily work!

Excellent material and course speed. This is my first Coursera course I have ever taken, if they are all similar to this, I would recommend this to friends and family. Thank you Coursera and USO for the opportunity to learn and grow.

Overall, these were good courses that taught me the fundamentals of being a Tech Support.

My only complaint was that there was a quiz in week 6 that asked a question about documentation, even thought the topic had not yet been covered.

Liked the short and easy-to-understand presentations, supplemental reading, and links to external recourses. Some info was outdated. Unfortunately, I ran into some issues/glitches, which could have been on my end. Still liked it much.

Very good course for introducing the basic fundamentals of Information Technology. Even without any prior experience or knowledge about computers you will be able to follow , learn and acquire some new skills without much difficulty.

wide range of fundamental knowledge even for someone who worked with tech his entire life, but putting the correct termanology and fact sheets really cleared up some things i thought may have been different from what they really were.

Excellent Course. The Fundamental support course was very interesting and well organized. The tips on job interviews and resumes are very helpful . They give me an idea of what to expect when applying for a technical support job.

It was pretty straight -forward and engaging. I would have loved it if the explanation on how to calculate the transfer of megabit per second was broken down further and if the example used used gigabyte which is larger than megabyte.

I've had an amazing experience learning all there is to know about IT Support. I believe that I have gained the ability to solve problems that I once struggled with and learned more about other things that could be potential problems.

I like this course, especially in the remote lab section, and especially at the end of the course we are given material about soft skills and how to deal with customers, so it is quite complete from a technical and non-technical side.

This course was very informative and easy to navigate thorough. I can always go back and review any of the material I may have a question on and my saved notes and discussion forum will be a big asset as I continue to learn my craft.

I think this didn't feel like a total course but It was more like an introduction to the further important courses that I must cover in this Specialization, I learned a lot but not deeply but I got my facts right about the technology.

Very informative, insightful. I feel like they touch all subjects about fundamentals. I would like to see more interaction with what they taught us. Like being able to work in the terminal more, try remote accessing a friends computer

Super informative course. Gives you a lot of information and tests your knowledge thoroughly. More than just an IT support course, this gives you a breakdown of everything that goes on behind the scenes when you use your own computer.

I found it very informative and easy to understand. Having the instructional videos last less than 10 minutes is amazing as I have a fairly busy schedule but still completed the course rather quickly. Each presenter was very engaging
