I do not understand the concept of this course at all. The course is just sharing what is where (It is just like a document or encyclopaedia to look for Linux operating system info in general only); however, it did not build any concept and state why. Moreover, it becomes harder to understand for a beginner when the trainer asks the question at the beginning of all chapters: where is this / where is that? We are beginners (as this course is for beginner level), so a beginner can not answer as he/she joined this course to begin the learning. This course has wasted a lot of time for me.

Ottimo corso, dai contenuti molto interessanti, unica pecca qualche volta la spiegazione dell'insegnate, non è sempre ciarissima ha dei problemi di audio, ma con le dimostrazioni chiare durante le lezioni, dissipano qualsiasi dubbio.

There are some issues on the course. The audio is not that good and there is no captions. Also there is a order error in the videos

Great content overall. Just wish the sound be more clear in some modules - takes a lot of extra effort to be able to hear clearly

tone of voice is somehow looks sleepy, also some times some words not easily to be understood, just try to make it clearer Thanks

This course has enough preliminary information for someone who will start developing kernel modules. You can build a foundation on this topic with this course. The instructor is easy to follow and used clear examples to teach the topic. However, there are some audio problems on some sections. Also, it would be useful if there would be a section that explains basic communication, data sharing and synchronization ways between a kernel module and a user space process.

I had expected quiz in between the course, which is present. ANd the instructor is able to present better but the videos are abruptly cut in between, which makes the learning experience little down.

The content of the course is great, but the audio makes it difficult to understand what the instructor is saying.

I Appreciate the time and effort the instructor took to put his course together. I also appreciate the downloadable resources. I gave a 3 because of in my opinion the quality of video and audio, made it very hard to follow along. There was too much rapid explanations that didn't have clear audio to be able to follow along. Also there wee more than a few videos that contained background distraction noises. Also there were some points where I believe the instructor thought it might be a good Idea to ask live students to engage in the lesson. That doesn't come across well when making an educational video. Also it would help greatly if the instructor would use cls or control L before displaying examples for the next segment. many times there was no clarity in what the instructor was doing because of all the other left over text on the screen. All of this left me confused throughout the presentation. I will have to go through the notes that I downloaded to hopefully grasp an understanding of what the basic instructions were and how to navigate successfully through maintenance through a kernel.

I bought this since I have no experience in kernel programming and even though the accent is super heavy and it would've been more useful if he had subtitles. but the core problem is that it's introduction to kernel loading and stuff like that which was nice but if we consider the amount of programming here it's minimal and misleading, sections 12,13 are more or less repeating same info that was introduced previously (or could've!) BUT since I cam with 0 knowledge here I did learned few things but I was expecting more of programming lessons.

The sound quality of the videos is awful. The course doesn't have a path to follow, the instructor seems to be giving random topics instead. A few sections don't have a resources section to download the code.

The audio quality of the speaker is very very very poor. I think the speaker made these videos without wilingness to teach something to others. Seems like he made this video sleeping in the bed. Audio seems like the same.

The audio quality for many videos was very bad. Also, sometimes the contents just popped up. It was exciting to see what is coming next.
