    Overall a basic view of computers and office productivity software. It just was never mentioned that mathematical involvement would take place in the course. Definitely need to alert the overview of the course to potential customers/students that mathematical equations will play a rather LARGE role in some of the lessons.

    This is a wonderful course. I learned Basics of Excel, Creating a simple PowerPoint presentation, MS-Word basic and Basics of Graphic Designing. Thanks to the faculty, he kept the video short and gave the required and essential info. I liked the course very much.

    Every thing in this course was to short. I want to say that, we learn many application and topics but all we do is, that very little introduction of that topic or application. Nothing is explained properly.

    It was my understanding that this was a BASIC computer application course. and I appreciate the graphics design part and I did learn a lot, but the visual presentations should be slower and the readings should be in more layman's terms. I also think that my version of Microsoft Office was a newer version, so the examples were quite different. Also, Excel was pretty difficult; I did not expect formulas to be that in-depth. My version of Survey was completely different (it told me that they retired Excel surveys). The class all in all was a great benefit, but in my opinion, it really needs to be reviewed and updated. Thank you for your time.

    I have learned many useful skills and acquainted many applications which I don't ever used before such as GIMP, Befunky, etc. from this course. Although I have gone through a lot of assignments using those productivity software, I still get interesting ideas from the course itself. So, it'd be highly recommended course for someone who want to do daily tasks and get a big picture of fundamental editing.

    The course is not really detailed, the quiz questions are not put clearly and are very confusing. A lot of questions from the quizzes were not even taught in the course, and had to be looked for online. Overall, the course is good, just needs some overhauling.

    Les compétences dont j'ai acquis(e) durant le cours de coursera est merveilleuses. 

    En effet, ce cours m'a permis non seulement d'avoir un esprit ouvert sur l'ordinateur et son fonctionnement mais aussi de connaître les différentes parties d’un ordinateur et leurs noms et d'autre mot en anglais pour enrichir mon vocabulaire en anglais. 

    Ainsi , ce cours de coursera m’a permis de savoir comment me connecter avec le wifi sur un ordinateur. Je pense que cest un cours genial.
