I was very impressed with the quality of this course. The teachers [Petra Bonfert-Taylor and Rémi Sharrock] are incredibly competent. The teaching material and the learning environment are fantastic. I'm happy to be able to complete the sixth course of the Specialization Program. Thank you very much, Coursera, Dartmouth College, Institut Mines-Télécom and, not least, the Patrick and Lina Drahi Foundation, for democratizing quality education.

Good course overall. I think that a lot of this content could have been introduced earlier in the specialization. It's a pretty thorough treatment of basic linux commands. It would have been a lot more useful to know how to compile with GCC on my own computer as an alternative to using the Codecast platform in the browser.

The content was very informative and nice. But from the previous 5 courses using the codecast tool which offers an amazing user experience, the exams and activities as well as the videos couldn't be incorporated inside the webLinux. For the rest amazing!
