  • Kai
    - Theory on version control, Linux commands and Github was good
    - Exercises had some issues when committing or pushing changes to Github, and needed fixes beyond what was taught in the course
    - Exercises for Linux commands could have touched on more commands, and potentially how to interpret permissions
