My problem is not about the course. it's about Coursera grading policy. it is super easy to achieve the certificate without knowing anything

I've learnt a lot through this course but also realized that I have much more to learn. I think the best way forward would be to do more playing around on Linux.

This is good for a very limited intro if you have never used Linux before. The Lab interface is not well thought out. E.g.; there are no files in your folder, and in one session you are supposed to try out basic operations on files, without being taught how to create any. The written documentation is usually sparse, or sometimes just a link to a lengthy Wikipedia page.

Perhaps I'm spoiled by some of the more prominent named courses on this site, I picked this up so I could get a look at Linux before moving forward in my Google course, but I'll be honest the engagement, labs, and overall feel just weren't the same. Did its job okay sometimes, its good to have a certification for it but alot of this could be self-taught on Wikipedia.

A brief summary on linux fundamentyals which is better for just getting to know what are the concepts but not deeping down in the concepts. more theoritically rather than applications.

The content covered in the course is good for a fundamental course. However, there are no hands-on labs or exercises to apply what was explained in the course lectures.

Roughly equivalent to a command list + a search engine. Labs not interactive: Basically, here is a list of commands, play with them. No curriculum.

rough around the edges, not easy for a beginner to grasp. also not good to just dump official documentation to replace good reading material.

I would like to receive more information. Much more than completing the entire course (which is 17 HOURS) in less than a week

This is a more practical then theorica subject in my opinion, the course should me more practical though.

I'm not sure how this is rated so high. Most "lessons" are 2 minute, ultra high altitude videos followed by 10-20 minutes of reading. You can get more info from random YT videos. The material is full of typos. There are very few labs and they take < 5 minutes to do because they are so simple.

It was the worst, most superficial and most meaningless education of my life. The entire content can be learned in an hour on the internet. I learned nothing about the Linux operating system itself. Waste of time!
