Intro to Linux

Cross-disciplinary Connections

The basic Linux class that I took had many cross-disciplinary connections to other courses that I was taking. For example, in my computer science course, we were learning about operating systems, and the Linux class gave me a practical understanding of how Linux works. In my web development course, we were learning about how to deploy websites to servers, and the Linux class gave me the skills I needed to set up and configure a Linux server.

Broader Applicability

The basic Linux class also had many broader applications outside of school. For example, I now use Linux on my personal computer, and I have found it to be more stable and secure than Windows or macOS. I have also used Linux to set up a home server, which I use to store files, host websites, and run applications.

Personal Life Connection

The basic Linux class also had some personal life connections. For example, I learned how to use Linux to troubleshoot computer problems, which has saved me a lot of money in the long run. I also learned how to use Linux to automate tasks, which has freed up my time so that I can focus on other things.

Students as Learners

The basic Linux class helped me to improve as a learner in several ways. First, it taught me the importance of being self-directed and independent. Second, it taught me the importance of perseverance and problem-solving. Third, it taught me the importance of collaboration and teamwork.
Overall, I found the basic Linux class to be very valuable. It gave me a solid foundation in Linux, and it helped me to develop the skills and knowledge that I need to be a successful learner and technologist.
