I am satisfied with the course and the material that was presented. I liked the fact that the teachers were actually employees at Google and had firsthand knowledge of being an IT Support Specialist.

Really well introduced course for basics on how to understand the things work on PC , the supplemental readings also provide you full information with most searching about things you think you missing it from lectures.

Good work from google team, and now looking a head for 2nd course The bits and byte of networking.

Great course, especially for those either just entering the IT field or thinking about entering the IT field. Course provides a great level of basic knowledge, while also providing the ability to review additional supplemental information to go deeper, if you so chose.

I look forward to the next course in the series.

When I started this course I had no idea how wonderful it was to be. I really appreciate the way that the instructors explain the classes. Now, I think it is the beginning of a new career for me.

This has been an amazing first course. Alot was a refresher from college course, however most was new because I was able to do actually hands on experience with the labs. I wish we had more lab time to practice, however I will install a Virtual Machine so i can practice on. Really looking forward to the next course.

Really Really love this course.. Learn lots of basic things, which make me more confidant about technical support. This course is not all about technical things but also I have learned the behavior to be a great IT Support Specialist. Maybe this course will help me in future progress. Thank you Google and Coursera.

Excellent way to start the program. There's enough history presented to help increase background knowledge before going into the details of IT. The extension recommendations were easy links that elaborated more details on specific topics for further research. I really enjoyed learning more about binary codes also.

This course is very helpful for anyone who is interested in the filed of IT. Wether you are a beginner, or someone who has been working in the filed of IT with no prior education in IT. It provides very basic starting points from creating a file, or computer hardware, to networking. All-in-all a great experience.

I already had some knowledge of computers so there were some things in ths course that I already knew, but it definitely helped me to fill in gapes in my knowledge and even with things I knew, I can see how those might be helpful to someone who did not knew them.

Overall, very well constructed introductory course

Really good beginner course for people who are not familiar with computers or people who have a basic understanding but need to know more of the nitty-gritty details. I've grown up with computers but this course opened my mind up more regarding the technical terms behind things that I've been using all of my life.

The course was very beginner-friendly, chock-full of helpful definitions, advice, and concepts that I feel will only help expand my knowledge of the vast world of IT.

The transcripts were a bit funky, as they didn't translate exactly 1-to-1 with what was said, but they were very helpful to my note-taking otherwise.

I highly recommend this course. The information is relevant and impactful. But although it is a large volume of knowledge, it is broken into bite-sized chunks that even someone who has no background in IT can swallow. Trust me. This course is great for anyone who has the insatiable urge to peek behind the curtain.

I learned alot but also this course was a great refresher course to what I already know. with my busy life. I almost gave up because I was passed my weekly goal. But thankful for the messages encouraging me to continue that I still had time. To keep working at it and I had till Dec. 28 really took a load of of me.

Very informative and thorough. This was the first online class i have ever taken and i really enjoyed it. I was able to take detailed notes by either slowing down the presenters talking speed or review the content as many times as I felt necessary to get a clear understanding of the new information I was learning.
