This class was very challenging and fun! I was so intimidated to start it, seriously took me 2 months of looking at it to finally get started and I am glad i did. I learned so much and it was fun!

I felt the information was presented really well, but there wasn't enough repetition in the activities. All of the labs tell you exactly what you need to do; you can even copy and paste the commands instead of typing them yourself. There are very few moments of figuring out a problem for yourself, and there is very little work that you do just to ingrain the process and commands. Also, the last page of reading really felt like "now you know the absolute basics of SQL, go teach yourself the rest", which I don't appreciate--I don't know if a deeper knowledge will be necessary in the workplace or not, but I'm taking this course to *be taught* the skills I need, not to be told to teach myself. And at the end, the AI conversation didn't even ask me about Linux, even though three of the four modules were about using Linux. However, I really appreciated the instructor's presentations, her tone of voice, and the way she broke down her examples. I also appreciated that, unlike previous courses, she didn't present a basic foundation via video and then pawn off the more complex stuff to a reading section (which makes learning much more difficult). In this course, almost all of the reading was a re-tread of the video content, so you could basically choose which style of learning works for you. Overall, the instruction was a great improvement over the previous courses.

The course content is very much apt for beginners. The hands-on experience for Linux commands helps to gain practical knoeledge. Each of the module has assignments which are helpful for knowledge assessment. Few of the modules have an assignment that tells us to make reports based on given hypothetical scenario. Transcript for each video is helpful for better understanding in case of mishearing. There are 8 main topics containing 4 modules each. Every module has tremendous weightage of contents and a lot to learn. The interaction with professionals working in the same domain is a an add-on for learners. Overall course content is good.

This course was honestly not my favorite that is why I gave the star rating I gave. This course made me cry a lot. If I don't understand something and don't have immediate help when I need it i have a panic attack. I have test anxiety and I start to cry. I did take a week break away from the studies to regroup but I end up again having problems. I ended up having some patience and try again. The more fails the more it starts to stick. I will need to learn more about this course in the future projects to come but for now its a NO for me of like this course lol.

This course was a bit more interesting than the previous ones in the Google cybersecurity course work. The first 3 courses are a little too hands off and not very interactive. Maybe it would be better if they were broken up and split into the other courses. Also, I feel like the subject material is covered well for an introduction into the career path - but I feel that there should be more practice examples and that the coursework should return to topics in later modules that were learned previously to help reinforce the knowledge.

The information in this course was very valuable. However the presentation of the information lacked a certain level of interest in my opinion. It was a bit harder to follow along. I started to lose interest and second guess myself but I will review the information for a better understanding. It was more difficult to stay attentive with this instructor's teaching methods but as I review the information and re-do the assignments overtime I am creating a better understanding of SQL.

As a complete beginner, I found the Linux and SQL course to be easy to follow and well-structured. The Linux section covered essential commands and system management in a straightforward way. The SQL portion helped me quickly understand key concepts like basic queries, table relationships, and database design. The hands-on exercises were practical and reinforced what I learned. Overall, this course is perfect for anyone new to Linux or SQL!

I Think this course was very well done. I never thought I'd find a platform that let you practice SQL. This lets you really put practice into the commands. I have a much much higher understanding of how to use SQL granted the Tables may be different per the employers agency but it's much easier to understand the pattern of how it works. With more practice I could really do well in it. Nice course!

A forma que 茅 feita a atividade para portf贸lio no m贸dulo 4 deveria mudar. Se fosse feito uma maneira onde conseguisse desenvolver o portf贸lio ao mesmo tempo em que avan莽a no curso seria melhor pois as atividades solicitadas para desenvolver o mesmo s茫o exatamente o que fazemos durante o m贸dulo. Por exemplo, solicitar ao usu谩rio dar uma olhada sempre que fizer um laborat贸rio ou algo do tipo
