Yes, the course suits me well. Dr. Nitin Paranjape presents the material in an accessible and clear way.

Yes but I find I have to back up frequently

Dr Nitin covered everything about Copilot the free version and showed us how to utilize it to its maximum potential. Right now, the paid version feels like it cannot make up for the free version.
By Benjamin Ross on 9/18/2026
There have been some areas covered now (Prompt Agent, etc.) that are not present in the Basic level of MS365 Copilot. There have also been some configuration items that seem to be locked by my Org. I think that the Pages and OneDrive discussions might make more sense to be discussed as general overview concepts and not just through technical tool selections. These seem like bigger system level concepts and not just, how to do something.

The speaker could better indicate *WHERE* on the screen he is using an important feature and sometimes slow down for a second so we can see what is happening.
By Phillip Smith on 9/9/2026
Great details, good working examples, and not too info-heavy that you're drowning.
By Leonard Semera on 9/3/2026
Yes, it was a good match for me. Found it very interesting
