This course was very informative and challenging. I really appreciate the way the course was put together. It would be ore helpful if the links to the readings were from material other than Wikipedia.

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

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 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.

I would have given it a 5/5 if all of the labs were working correctly on my first try. Overall, great information and labs.

the pace was a little too fast to properly memorize or familiarize yourself with the commands in Ubuntu.

I liked it though!

The material was informative, but I wish the course was more interactive than just 1 virtual lab at the end of each week.

High information load but totally necessary. Learned so much about many facets of OS which we take for granted everyday.

I can't truly say I am completely confident with linux and using bash, but it definitely gave me a decent introduction.

Overall a good course, I feel like there could be some deeper information presented, especially in regards to Windows.

It was easy, clear and somewhat precise, though I wished that it would be in much greater detail; as in commands usage.

It would be very useful if you are brand new to it support. If you have some experience it could be a little redundant.
