If you're new to Linux, the fundamental training here is good. I am now able to navigate command line with greater confidence and have some knowledge in how to edit and search file and folders.

Extremely dissapointed :(

This course starts off pretty good with the history of Linux and goes over some popular commands. However the after the first lesson this course really tails off. Most of the lessons require the user to read through material on their own because the video don't go into much depth at all. The labs are incredbily lacking with no true concrete examples. The labs are just "free time" for the user to explore rather than practice and apply commands to gain meaningful knoweldge.

Don't waste your time on this course ... FreeCodeCamp and YouTube videos are much better in my opinion.

Limited examples and discussion of key methods and concepts. References to sources such as Wikipedia undermine the course, in fact none of the reading materials are adequately discussed or demonstrated in the lab.

It was really brief overview - please focus on both adding more practical task to accomplish ( would be great to compare the with the key, rather than do what you wont to do), sharing greatewr quality of Lab videos - $th module is a comedy, only partially some can see what the Autor is doing on his terminal

Complete waste of time! Three minute videos and wikipedia article links is what this, so called "course" is.

I was looking for a nice Linux course and finally found this specialization. Course content and flow was execellent. Insructor's way of delivering content makes me to learn from him again and again. Looking forward to the remaining courses in the specialization.

Overall very good beginner course-- would definitely recommend. One small thing (which may be unique to my situation) would be that from what I could tell, although this is a beginner level course there is a certain level of understanding of computer phrases/lingo. I found myself having to look several phrases up at times. Not a big deal though.

My problem is not about the course. it's about Coursera grading policy. it is super easy to achieve the certificate without knowing anything

The strength of the course is the way new concepts are organised into sections. The weakness of the course is that the lecturer reads from slides, without enough explanation. My work-around to this was to pause the lecture and then do my own research on Youtube, practice the commands on a terminal, and then continue. This gets trickier in week 4. The lab videos are useful, because here the lecturer demonstrates the actual use of the commands in practice. I would have liked to have seen more content like that (demo & explain). Some of the lab videos were not helpful, because the typed commands were off screen.

The course could benefit from editing to remove typos and such. Also, in the last module, the instructor's working line shared terminal was below the frame of the video capture much of the time, rendering it useless. The last section does fir in a great deal very rapidly. It could be broken up.

Having concrete exercises would be much better than saying please use this command in the lab.

It was a great course. I've really enjoyed the way it's structured. You get short videos which are really high quality in my opinion. At first glance you might feel that the course is really fast paced and does not provide enough information but If you complete the labs and take the time to read through the linked documents in the learning materials you will get tons of information. Thank you for making this course, I've enjoyed every bit of it. Recommended.

Good course, very easy to follow and understand. It helped me build my confidence in using Linux at a basic level. I would also highly recommend installing a virtual environment with a Linux distro to your computer. The course uses a cloud based Debian distro for the lessons. I installed Virtual Box with Fedora because we use Redhat at work and am comfortable with it. I was able to use the commands and examples just fine.

The course was quick, Throughout the course, I gained a solid understanding of basic Linux concepts, including file system navigations, editing text and using extended expressions. Assignments and Labs were very useful and relevant.

Overall, this course is recommended!

VERY thorough for sure. Don't let the word fundamentals make you think this is an easy peasy class. You'll get out of it what you put into it for sure. The guy knows what he is talking about in the vids and the labs are spot on.
