Then we go through some extensive lessons on setting up OS X default behaviors through System Preferences. When we have our Mac all set up the way we want it and we're comfortable with getting around, we move on to installing and uninstalling Apps and creating and working with documents. We wrap up with backing up using Time Machine and some troubleshooting tips.

I like this class, short videos, clear and also easy learning.
I loved this course. It was very easy to understand. I am coming from a PC to a Mac and didn't know a thing. After this course I feel I have a really good handle of how to run my mac. Being an older person I can say anyone could understand and learn from this course. Everything was done very professionally.
Great Intro
Although the course started slowly (or maybe I knew that stuff already), it ended up being a very thorough examine of Yosemite. I learned much and recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about Yosemite.

I've been a Middle School and A+ Computer Repair instructor in the workforce for 12 years. I haven't finished this course, but I've been around long enough to know that there are instructors and there are INSTRUCTORS. This gentleman is the latter of the two. His voice, technique and unabbreviated delivery gives both the instructor and the course an overall 5 stars.
