Amazing!!!

Instructor’s Response:

Hi Alexandre!

Thank you so much for your amazing review and the five-star rating! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with the course. Your enthusiasm is incredibly motivating. If there’s anything specific you particularly enjoyed or if you have any suggestions for future courses, we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks again for choosing our course and for taking the time to leave feedback. Happy learning!

Jammie W.

This course was designed wonderfully. The flow of the material and explanations was excellent. The instructor explained what every character meant in each command, and how to find the correct commands and syntax in case you forget.

The speed was just right. I opened up two screens on my computer; one with the course, and the other with Linux Command Prompt. I was able to follow along perfectly for the most part, although the instructor types much faster than I do.

The only thing I didn’t like about the course was that it would give exercises at the end of each lesson, but did not provide and answer key or example of the correct way to answer. There were a few exercises that I did not figure out for that reason despite my google searches.

I have zero experience with Linux, but a small amount of experience with programming. In the beginning, I was wondering if I would ever understand Linux. By the end of the course, I feel far more confident with Linux and like I can at least navigate my way through it, as well as understand certain command prompts.

I believe I have a good baseline to continue learning and expanding my knowledge in Linux. My goal was to become familiar with Linux before pursuing a degree in Cyber Security. While I believe I have a long way to go, I definitely feel more comfortable with the idea of it now.

Instructor’s Response:

Hi Jammie!

Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you found the course flow, explanations, and quizzes effective, and that they helped you gain confidence in navigating Linux. Your approach of using dual screens for practice is indeed a great learning technique!

We appreciate your feedback regarding the exercises at the end of each lesson. Initially, we chose not to include the answers to encourage students to complete the exercises themselves, rather than simply looking at the answers and moving on. However, in response to your feedback, we have started creating answers to these exercises, complete with detailed explanations for each. This is a significant undertaking to ensure the quality and clarity of the material, so it may take a few months to fully implement. We are committed to enhancing the learning experience, and your feedback is invaluable in this process!

Your journey from being new to Linux to gaining a solid foundation and confidence in your skills is inspiring. It’s great to hear that the course has helped you on your path towards a degree in Cyber Security. We look forward to supporting your continued learning journey, and please stay tuned for the upcoming additions to the course!

Thank you once again for choosing our course and for taking the time to share your experience. Your insights not only help us improve but also guide other learners in their journey.

Jupi R.

Good course to cover the basics of Linux. Introduces commands at an easy pace. I follow along with a Ubuntu Virtual Box to help cement the commands.

I just finished the course, and found it informative. The information builds on itself and lots of great examples. I’ll have to go through the course again because there is actually a lot of material…. and I am a forgetful person. I’ll definitely have to swing back to the section on bash scripting.

Instructor’s Response:

Hi Jupi!

Thank you so much for your positive feedback and for taking the time to share your experience with our Linux course!

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that the course’s structure, pace, and practical examples, especially using Ubuntu in a Virtual Box, resonated so well with you.

We completely understand that the volume of material in the course, particularly in complex areas like scripting, can be extensive.

With that in mind we’ve anticipated your needs and are excited to tell you that we have created a condenced written version of the course. We are calling this “The Linux Toolkit” and its available for download in the “Additional Resources” section.

This book is designed to support students like you on your Linux journey, offering a quicker, more efficient alternative to online searches or rewatching lessons.

We believe this toolkit is exactly what you’re looking for and we think you’re going to love it!

If you have any questions or need further assistance as you dive back into the course, we’re just a message away.

Thank you again for choosing our course and for your encouraging review. We are excited to continue supporting you in your Linux learning journey and are here to help every step of the way!
