This has been a standout course throughout the Advanced IT program for me. The course content and labs worked really well together in a way I felt provided value and impact on learning.

The "deep dive" aspect. Learning outside the course is typically "just enough to get the job done", but only by sitting in the course do I go through the topics thoroughly.
