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!

Very good content no matter what level of knowledge you have, and should be required learning for everyone in HS level IT courses.

Last two assessments were a bit vague in instructions, but the overall course was challenging, yet very technical and informative.

This course is the best to start from the basic knowledge of Operating Systems.We get enough about troubleshooting our own device.

Very good course. The end of course exam was pretty tough. Especially the part where we had to figure out on our own. Good stuff.

Great overview of the Operating Systems. Only complaint I have is some of the labs need workarounds to get them to work properly.

The only problem with this course are assessments. You must improve them, it is so frustrating to do all right but not get grade.

I think overall it was good but i believe more practice and more depth into scripting and cli commands would be very beneficial.

For someone that had no understanding of Linux, this was a tough course. But I learned a lot and feel more comfortable with it.

There is a ton of material that was enjoyable and there was some frustrations with the labs but for the most part. Good job. :)

Would be 5 stars but understand most of the linux stuff can be done under the gui. Also why Ubuntu and no kali or mint distros?

The only complaint I have is that some of the VMs for the labs were missing important content needed to complete certain tasks

Linux is an extremely challenging OS. I will need an additional exercises to become comfortable with said OS. That excites me.

excellent course - the labs are a little slow to spin up - wait for them to spin up before accessing especially Windows ones.

Very enjoyable! I wish week 1-5 labs had been more critical thinking like week 6 lab. Still, best course of the series yet.

Very informative course. I enjoy the course work more than I enjoy my job. I am getting exposure that I cannot get at work.

It is a simple but comprehensive course for beginners, this course will give the conceptual idea for the operating systems.

It has been most challenging course in series. Plan on seeking sources outside the course if you haven't learned Linux yet.

Labs were an issue in this one. Ironically genuine troubleshooting was required but resolution required escalation support.
