This course covered lots of information. However, it would be nice if the labs And graded assessments were somewhat interactive. What I mean is that it should ask students to complete some tasks based on the topic covered and not show them exactly how to do it. But, if they get stuck stuck they can click on the hint button or something to help they move forward. I feel that this course is defini Very important and sometimes Cindy was going through super fast with commands she was typing. Lastly, if students are using Putty for Qwiklabs, then all of the course material should be shown in that instead of in Linux GUI.

These courses feel incomplete. The information just feels like random info dumps. They don't spend enough time on areas that seem important and even skip over topics and areas that seem vital to building a solid foundation in IT. I can't pinpoint why but the teaching style doesn't help the info to stick very well. I don't feel they use enough real world scenarios to help explain the tools we are learning. It seems they very rarely show how something is used in a real world setting. It is usually just glossed over. This is not a good course for trying to truly getting a grasp of these concepts. I am taking a linux/bash course on Udemy and it makes this feel very cheap. Not sure who the target student is here. They hold your hand through most of the quizzes but don't spend enough time getting you into a Power User. Most of the valuable info is handed off to Supplemental Readings (aka wikipedia/google searches). I don't know, all of these google courses just seem lazy. I could only recommend them for people who are just using this to brush up on topics to prepare for other courses or bootcamps.

too many sessions for each week....teacher was packing too much of information in each lesson.

She should organize her lessons into two distinct category: windows OS & Linux.

Overall, It was a great course with a lot of important information.

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!

The information was all there, but it could be structured in a more complete way that would aid in the understanding. There were a lot of jumbled up weeks where we jump back and forth between windows and linux OS. It would be a lot easier to retain the information and understand what is being taught if it were separated by operating systems and tested one at a time. [This would make notes a lot easier to index as well when studying or trying to refresh over a covered topic]

the course was very good and amazing, and the instructor was awesome.

However the linux part was somewhat difficult

I had trouble with the last two quizzes and now I can't go back to take them because I exceeded the times for taking the test. Now I can't get all 5 certificates for taking all the courses the only thing I didn't pass were two quizzes which I didn't understand and I needed help with them and couldn't get any help.

Qwiklabs won't let me pass this course.

Horrible, this course apart from Linux is pretty bad. Unlike the others the instructor doesn't seem to be interested in teaching and the exercises are so vague and simple, not challenging at all.

Exams contain numerous errors and the only way to pass will be via trial and error as often times the correct answer will be marked as being wrong.

Conclusion: "Operating Systems and You: Becoming a Power User" is a must-take course for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of operating systems. It effectively blends theory with hands-on practice, providing a solid foundation that empowers students to become proficient users of operating systems. Whether you are a novice or seeking to enhance your existing knowledge, this course offers valuable insights that are both educational and practical. Overall, I highly recommend this course for its comprehensive content, engaging delivery, and practical relevance to anyone interested in mastering operating systems.

Great Course! The only notes I have is that some of the topics could be more in depth (for me), even thought I understand this is not practical. So I think is more a problem of my end, that I become so curious I didn't want to stop. The only other thing that I felt it need is a list of all the commands and flags (like a separate glossary) since they were multiple, and by the end it took me some time to remember which commands were used on Windows and on Linux and all the little flags. I went back to the documentation, but having that would be a great help.

This course was very informational and helped me learn so much about Windows Powershell and Linux CLI. The coursework proved challenging and the labs became progressively more difficult as the course continued. By the end, I was recalling information from all of the prior modules in order to complete the final labs. The way this course was designed helped me to learn at my own pace and grow more confident with each passing week. A big thank you to those who worked to put this together!

i never used power-shell before, i always thought that only Linux is good for cli and windows should be only used with graphical user interface, but i never knew that even windows too provides such a powerful cli,

as a Linux user i'm mostly interested in cli, but after taking this course i feel that i can even work with windows power-shell too.

This course is one of the most beautiful courses I have completed and it was very useful. I thank those in charge. It was easy and very useful. I thank the professor. The lectures were very useful and very understandable. I thank her for the way she gave these lectures. It is one of the most wonderful courses. Thank you very much.

Quite challenging especially the External Graded Assignments for Windows (the icacles syntax, very new compared to the older and simpler DOS commands) and how toread the logs for errors. The VLC update only worked after using the "apt --fix-broken install" command.

I really loved going through the content on this course, I learnt how to navigate the windows OS, to explore its features. I always wanted to learn Linux, and this course gave me a first deep dive in the world of Linux. In short I loved it

Juda ajoyib kurs! Kursda operatsion tizimlar bilan ishlash uchun juda keng ko'nikmalar mavjud. Bu kurs mening hayotimda katta o'sish bo'ldi! Google kompaniyasiga ushbu kurs uchun kata rahmat aytaman. Cindy uchun esa alohida RAHMAT!!! :-)

It is a very thorough and comprehensive course. It does have a lot of supplemental readings that may be out of date because it is 3 years old. Some of the commands are for Windows 8, not Windows 10.

The course is great. I leaned a lot about OS specially about Linux Ubuntu and Windows PowerShell.

I have renewed some of the skills I knew plus added a lot of skills I din't have

Cindy is the best teacher, definitely my favorite module!

I liked it. Thank you. This course was tough.

I did not get the certificate

wow
