The information provided in the course so far is great but I think using more visuals instead of long sentences in slides would be more interesting and easy to keep up.

It is very hard for me to understand the accent. The conversation is a little fast. I am 78 years old, and a novice when it comes to linyx...I would love to learn it, but afraid I may need to go to a text type of course.

I looked for "absolute beginner" and I found it. I appreciate the history and background, as that helps me understand the product as a whole.

Today i have completed the course.it was one month back i took this course. Initially i was confused where to start and what is the first step to learn linux. After looking at the course headlines...and comparing the contents of topic with other courses,i took this course. i would say it is nice course for pupil who want to learn and start their career in linux. i am greatly satisfied with tutor teachings....i almost stolen every word from tutor's mouth while taking notes during preparation which constitutes approx 29474 words . And now got passion to learn and explore more of linux. Once again thanks to tutor Ahmad....

Quite a good course to begin with Ubuntu. However course is quite rushed and also sometimes misses some important things.
