This course was really helpful as it helped me to discover and go through essential features of Linux and Windows OS and also to discover essentials powershell and Bash commands to perform many tasks.

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 labs are absolutely broken. I can't finish the course because I can't pass 3 of the labs because the instructions are not working with the lab or the score doesn't update when activities are completed. I'm paying for this for some reason.

The transcripts are a disgrace. They appear to the audio from the video lecture converted to text using a very poor quality speech to text converter. In this course, there are many commands that need to be better documented for the student.

The Linux portions of this course were very difficult to complete. Some of them had glitches that made it impossible to do and I had to reach out to QwikLabs to reset my attempts. Pay very careful attention to every single step!

Broken exam, I would have gotten 100 if not for poor execution of this assessment. When you update vlc the system does not recognize that it is installed from the power shell even though the program will launch without issue.

Extremely confusing. Broad and touches on many things on the surface level only without going in depth; not sure if this was intended. However, the exams were confusing and there are many errors in the quizzes.

Im not sure anyone will read this but I struggled alot and I believe that if we were able to move along and do the steps on our own with the instructor in the background it would be more beneficial to some .

Course contents are not well structured. Assignments sometimes too easy but sometimes a little bit tricky. After finishing this course, I cannot feel I understand more about operating system.

They don't give you the professional certification promised when you complete the courses. Don't bother. These courses will do nothing to advance your career or education.

Did NOT like this course. I felt the information was disjointed and not comprehensive enough for beginner levels. The microsoft labs are wonky and slow as well.

Of all the courses, this one was by far the worst. From the presenter to the 2 final labs, I enjoyed all of the courses BUT this one.

the last linux test is impossible to complete and the course does not provide the resources to complete it properly.

Worst course I've ever taken. Pointless and Labs have incorrect instructions which makes it difficult to complete.

You will learn how to write click and create a new folder on Windows... Not quite what I would call a "Power User"

So little effort has been put into the organization, proof reading, editing, and presentation of this course. Wow.

The graded modules at the end are actually broken and don't have all the content you need to complete them.

Needs a different approach and a whole new re-write.
There needs to be a course on Linux.

I wish there were more practice problems with the command line and BASH commands.
