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!

Something need to be modified in Week-6 Last 2 Labs. For full details, I have mentioned in that lab end comments.

Thanks

Almost all of the labs were broken in some way to the point of having to install Chrome in PowerShell to begin the lab

some of the links need to be updated as well as more labs during the lecture to help with using and remember commands.

I don't see the point of asking to run a test on how to copy-paste file on Windows. Who's the target for this course?

It was difficult for the beginner to handle but practicing using command is really useful to understand how OS works

There are too many issues in Qwiklabs that needs to be look at and fixed. I felt Qwiklabs slowed my progress down.

Labs could use some work on more real life situation on how to use the command lines to alter settings and files.

Difficult to understand some of the coding - wish there was a study sheet to help memorize all of the commands.

Challenging, refreshed some skills and learned some new ones. Would have learned more if I had a fucking mentor!

it was just all about covering topic, it would have been better if there was more exercises about the commands .

Powershell almost unusable at times. Have to find workarounds in order to complete Virtual Machine assignments.

A bit more difficult than the other courses due to learning more commands and remembering what each one does.

I would prefer doing windows PowerShell commands in one section and then Linux instead of going back and forth

The qwiklabs font is small and for me it was hard to read at times but overall it was an interesting course.

The Linux Lab part of this course is not that great. Some of the parts of the lab need to have bugs removed.

In videos the commands were often written too fast. Also, there could have been more practical exercises.

Would rate 5 stars, but that VLC issue in the Linux lab on the last week took about a month off my life.

Some of the labs in this course are broken/out of date and sometimes hard to understand if they aren't.

The labs were difficult on this one, but the lab support team (Qwiklabs) was wonderful! Thanks
