This class was very challenging and fun! I was so intimidated to start it, seriously took me 2 months of looking at it to finally get started and I am glad i did. I learned so much and it was fun!

Relies heavily on qwiklabs. The qwiklabs implementation is broken. I am stuck on infinite CAPTCHA attempts. Thankfully this is review, but for a student for whom it is not review, this is unacceptable. Students experiencing the same would be right to ask for a refund.

The coverage of Linux and SQL are too basic. The content of this course could have been presented in a few pages.

Too Technical, some of the labs lack specific instructions, making it highly complicated to complete.

I really disliked the instructor for this course. For the amount of knowledge and heavy, and I mean HEAVY, course load of leaning something as complex as SQL- this instructor did a horrible job compared to the other courses. I had a 4.9 gpa in college and I equated this to ONE course I couldn't pass due to the instructor (the course had a 36% pass rate which included people taking it for the second time). Instructors or Teachers matter, and had there been a better teacher I might've had an easier time completing this course. Granted, I completed it in 4 days with an 80-something%, my normal is 9something% in about 2 days. This instructor did not explain the information effectively. Also, for something as complex as this, once you PASS a test - there should be an explanation on a question you got wrong. For my final test I had to take it 4 times, and still got the exact question wrong every time even when I passed. I have no idea how to learn from my mistake.

First off, whoever developed these courses developed them to purposely leave out vital and helpful information, such as the shortcuts for moving from line-to-line in queries. The online support chat would not even tell me. This lead to a lot of errors. Second, the videos and the chapters do not do a good job of explaining the syntax of queries. The videos hold back and give the most basic, but when you get to the lab activities they make them more difficult and expect learners to be able to get them done. It gives a sense to me that learners have to figure it out without any guidance. Its worse than a college class. At least in a college class there is a physical person who you can go to for guidance. "I understand its not made to be easy, but this is stuff that requires extra guidance. Do better, Google!

Kim (the instructor) was very monotone and unenthusiastic. Pretty clear she was reading from a teleprompter or recited all her lines which made her unconvincing about the topics she was teaching. Made me fall asleep a few times and made me uninterested in what was being taught. Learned more through google, YouTube, and AI when I got stuck at understanding certain things. Please choose a different person to remake her videos.

Doesn't say when things and case-sensitive and when they are tells you that you got something wrong but not what you got wrong. The labs have issues with them so when you input something right it tells you that you did it wrong even though when you go into the review and check how it wants you to put in the commands is the same as what you entered. Haven't had a problem with the overall coarse until now.

The information has been helpful, but I need a lot more hands-on activities to grasp everything. I really don't feel like I'm getting support or explanations on activities when I get stuck. I'll look at the screen for so long trying to understand where I'm going wrong on an activity and I feel like I'm just wasting time. Would be helpful if there was more simple instructions.

This class really held me up as the quizes asked for extremely specific command lines and syntax when even the instructor in the video admits that it would be extremely difficult for a beginner to memorize said syntax and command lines

The main lecturer in course 4 is unbearable & difficult to retain information from. The woman from course 1 is far better. Please reevaluate who you allow teach, as not everyone has the ability.

The instructor is pretty bad, looks like the person is AI generated, very hard to engage with the materials..

The spectrum of Linux and SQL is way to massive to learn in a 3 hour course. Test were difficult as well.
