This is a course which I enjoyed. It gave a good insight of the learning methodologies which we have often heard of but not given due importance. Also, the brain facts is cool :) My 5/5 to this course

They showcase a certain skill level that can beat out the biggest competition. They also help you build valuable skills that will prove the claims stated on your resume. However, be smart about it.

Think the videos are sometimes too broad and general which is boring. Then it is not clear to answer the questions

The course is quite informative, but the presentation becomes repetitive and dull. Hard to stay concentrated!

Hours of mind-numbing videos, no hands-on learning assignments, blindsided at the end by a series of essays.

again, horrendous transcripts ALSO do math on the video's right. 3:59 isn't a 3 minute video.....come on

The course is mostly theoretical. I hope that the work will be more and we will learn more practically

Provided a decent introduction to administration, but was sorely lacking in practice opportunities.

I would have liked, that the qwiklabs were an essential part of the assignments!

There was a quiz in week 2 that was hard to pass. That was the only problem.

Videos too long, not enough quizzes to break them up or labs.

I was really not a fan of this course at all. Most of the videos were a man sitting at a table listing definitions and acronyms, with very little dedicated to actually showing how it all relates. This is the worst way to get across the information in a field that is very hands on. The Qwiklabs were the best part, and this time around they were optional, and would frequently have nothing to do with the videos I just watched. He also said "you can read all about it in the next Supplemental Reading" so many times I don't know why the videos weren't replaced by a book. I was hoping this course would be like the last one on Operating Systems where it's very hands on examples, but it was just lectures with little practical examples.

I believe there's an opportunity for improvement in the delivery of the course material on "System Administration and IT Infrastructure Services". While the courses are informative, I feel that the lack of animation and hands-on demonstrations can make it challenging for some learners to understand the concepts. I suggest incorporating more visual aids, such as animated videos, to enhance the learning experience. By simplifying the content and presenting it in a more engaging way, learners can better grasp the key concepts and apply them in real-world scenarios. This approach has the potential to make computer science more accessible to a wider audience, and I hope to see more courses utilize these techniques in the future.

COURSE NEEDS UPDATING. felt like a lot of my time a was wasted with this teacher who doesn't ecxplain well and didnt really teach much. the course is so broken down into so many sub lessons its wasteful. course should have bewen put together better or different teacher who didnt breqak it down so much, all this did was make it harder and have to constant go back and forth constatly in the course. the 30 second intro videos before he attepmts to start is worthless and pointless. this course jsut felt like the teacher BSed his way through it for a pay check. Out of the courses ive taken so far on Coursera thhe others were great, but this one needs updating. like i said i had to pretty much teach myelf

An essay with no right or wrong answers and all 3 have to be 200 or more words is just insane to me, I feel like I haven't learned a thing in this outdated course, the concept of AD is extremely easy to grasp, since I have started using it since I started my IT job, but this instructors details and explanations are so poor, using outdate software, and feels like he's reading off a script he didn't write himself while the last girl actually felt genuine, doing the quizzes and test on "perspective" questions and not about what was physically said within the videos/readings. I don't know, Sysadmin is what I do and I love it, but this made me just hate it. Congrats to everyone who passed I guess.

The labs were a joke. The main reason I took this course was to learn directory services and specifically Active Directory. The lab for active directory wasn't even setup properly for me to do anything. Regarding OpenLDAP the lab did work but there was hardly any actual practice allowing me to familiarize myself with the way things work. It's great to hear about something but I would have liked to actually do it and setup something complex instead of the most simple situation someone could imagine. Please revise the course. Thanks.

Guess who couldn't be bottered, even though they're being paid to do so, to make proper videos with all the information being lectured...? There's more supplementary reading than videos to watch / listen. I'm always multitasking, if I wanted to read and not do anything else, I could've searched and found the information myself, I don't need Coursera to do that, just a thought. VM, especcialy Windows VM is unbearably laggy, and it's not possible to zoom the screen, whithout an external tool, making the information on the screen too small.

Most courses are filled with mistakes and errors, the modules don't work well, the information is outdated, and annoying jokes and liberal politics are forced on the student. This course should in no way be labelled as preparation for the CompTIA A+ exam. In information and conciseness, this course is far worse than Professor Messer's free YouTube series. The only thing this is good for really is the badge and credential, though I'm still not sure how much benefit this provides.
