TOP REVIEWS FROM OPERATING SYSTEMS AND YOU: BECOMING A POWER USER
The course is thorough and touches in great aspects and topics.
My only gripe is the graded tasks, that didn't function properly and didn't register my completed work.
Despite that, thank you
Should of separate the lessons in a way where it compliments one another. Windows by itself and Linux by itself instead of mixing it one after another (Windows then Linux). But either way, good videos
Course was good and challenging. Cindy did a great job. I wish Windows and Linux were separated instead of back and forth every video change though. It made things confusing going back and forth.
Excellent advice on carving it in a stone and being too stubborn to quit. So much of what is seen is sugar coated instasnap filtered that hearing Leverage your Strengths and work hard is reassuring.
