  • I enlisted in this course having some awareness of Linux yet very little. In the same way as other others I had high trusts in this course. In the wake of experiencing the initial couple of sections I understood this course was exceptionally basic and practically superfluous. The main reviewed work in the entire MOOC is the 30 question, end of the year test. After the fourth "part" I chose to simply skip to the exam since I couldn't stand the course. I passed rather effectively notwithstanding not knowing anything about Linux servers or bash scripting. Moreover given that the confirmed endorsement is $250, it creates the impression that this course is more about profiting than truly instructing individuals. I am to some degree frustrated in edX for offering it given their ordinary standard for a course.

What I would highlight: Despite the fact that the course may appear to be shallow, it covers a wide assortment of points. At times it is scratching essential stuff while it is clarifying stuff, similar to vim, in an excessive amount of detail, which most likely is a helpful word processor for a few, however it's many-sided quality would require an entire separate course and accreditation. Gracious, and those introduction recordings at every section... the cameraman ought to be rebuffed for it.
What could be improved: Nothing bad.
