Oh my goodness -- so much better than sitting in a classroom. I could do what I wanted when & how I wanted. All the info was there, and I also had to do some googling to "get it". Loved it.

Yes, but initially they are helpful for your learning because you eventually implement all what you have learnt into that project on coursera, but that’s not it. You can actually study that project really well and carry on forward with it like modifying it by putting or implementing different new algorithms in it and updating the output into a whole new outcome as well as you can (Basically you can take it as your start). And then the modified version of your project can be really helpful for your resume.

I liked the structure of the lesson and being able to interact with the virtual terminal. Instructor was clear about instructions and I also liked that he allowed for the user to practice what had been taught. Exploration of the "man" (manual) command is encouraged. I also thought the quiz had good questions and answer choices, and was a good way to test what was learned.

It was motivating course, as the instructor was very friendly and each steps of command operations on the Linux terminal was interesting and made me realize how fun to communicate to the PC. After finishing this course, all I want to say to the staffs and the instructor is "Thank you very much. See you again."
