TOP REVIEWS FROM GETTING STARTED ON MAINFRAME WITH Z/OS COMMANDS AND PANELS
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
It was a good course but it could be better. I think a little more hands on after each lecture would be helpful
Thanks for the course, I brushed my skills back, the educator is really awesome,thanks Coursera
Course content was detailed and helped me understand datasets thoroughly. Manuals also helped a lot
