I think you need to add examples or more examples and explainations about each topic in order to clarify it
By Genise Keith on 11/3/2020
Yes they were a little fast in some areas, but I played it back again and again
By Andrew Bird on 10/16/2020
This is my first Udemy course I have ever taken on the platform. It is really easy for people, like myself to follow along with. It has tied up many loose ends that were not resolved in the many years of university training I received. This course truly is for anyone who wants to learn I.T. Helpdesk related topics, or who may want to brush up on some things they may want to relearn.

Easy, to the point course.
By Rolando Castellanos on 9/13/2020
basic and very informative. I highly recommended.
By Mariely C on 9/9/2020
I really thought the course would show more IT instead of just explaining such basic high school knowledge
By Randy Robinson on 9/8/2020
Overall it was okay for the basics. Some of the steps in explaining certain things was not there, but not really necessary so it was not a big deal, just something I noticed.
By Allison S on 9/6/2020
Excellent
By Teresa Delgadillo on 9/3/2020
It is very informative, just a little too quick, since the powerpoints aren't exactly what is spoken. I have to pause the audio, read the powerpoint, and then resume audio.
By Roshni Anish on 7/22/2020
The sound was too low and the too fast
