Thanks for the course, I brushed my skills back, the educator is really awesome,thanks Coursera

by SSFeb 6, 2022

Course content was detailed and helped me understand datasets thoroughly. Manuals also helped a lot

by ATSep 4, 2020

Instructions are not rightly mentioned, it was tough to really make sense of the instructions passed in few of the excercises.

Hope that the semantics used in instructions is taken care of

by HAJun 2, 2020

Very informative. VM was a little difficult at first because I've never worked on z/OS mainframe. Lab instructions could have been a little more detailed for beginners.
