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.

Course was great and easy to follow, however, constant issues with the labs and grading really drag down the efficiency

Learned a ton, but I wish the week-end tests were more like the final, without holding your hand as you go through it.

Course was fine, only deducted a star due to a couple hiccups in Qwiklabs, that delayed my completion of the course.

A bit harder to navigate the tests. The last week was the hardest. Knowing what to look for could have been helpful.

It was an awesome experience, but you should include more complex practical labs like the final one in between too.

Buggy Windows labs that tend to not grade right as always, but I really enjoyed the material. A good foundation.

I am ok with learning powershell but I did not find it useful just yet. Rest was ok but labs was pretty annoying.

Some labs are very glichie. But the stuff you learn you is mostly what IT does all day. Even on your home gear.

It's very good but Specifically talking about linux there should be more knowledge and practice should be given.

The content was great but the presentation was too slow paced, I had to speed it up by 1.25X and even 1.5X speed

It's a good guide but it is very basic. Basically you need a lot of practice and readings before you master it.
