    This forum is exclusively for Harvard University students. The sponsor for this forum is an exciting new web app, The Degree Tracker. Track and plan your Harvard Extension School ALM and ALB degrees or professional graduate certificate. Course ratings, instructor reviews, accomplishment badges, planning, tracking, and other tools to help guide students through their HES journey. TheDegreeTracker is proud to bring you this tool to use to track your degree at Harvard Extension School. If you are a student who has more courses than you can keep track of, and you would like to plan out your degree pathway carefully, then track and plan courses with the Degree Tracker to take control of your education. Including course reviews and course ratings, TheDegreeTracker has the potential to not only guide you through your degree, but to let you help other students who might be wondering about the HES courses that you've taken. The Degree Tracker is glad to provide the Harvard Extension School Student Forum (ESF) to help foster a nurturing environment. This forum for was born in 2015 to create better Harvard Extension School friendships, networking, and information to contribute to a better overall HES experience. Extension students formerly congregated at forums such as philfac and extensionstudent. This website has no affiliation with either the philfac or extensionstudent websites. It has been created and run by 100% completely different leadership. For the extension student who wants a bigger taste of what life with other Harvard Extension students is like, combining the Degree Tracker and the extension student forum can foster that sense of community that others have on campus. Another advantage of participating in an online community over the Harvard campus is that extension students can develop permanent relationships with other extension students that being on a physical campus might not necessarily allow, since online students are great at staying in touch online.

    What would you like to see in a forum?

    We'd be glad to hear your feedback. It's no piece of cake to graduate with your Bachelor of Liberal Arts or Master of Liberal Arts in a timely fashion, but your Bachelor's or Master's degree plan will only benefit from making use of the Degree Tracker and this exclusive forum for Harvard's marvelous students.

      Hi,
      I took E-91 last fall and would be happy to provide my feedback. It's a pretty basic course covering AWS basic concepts and DevOps theory.

      Content wise:
      DevOps - Lots of reading, all theory with virtually no hands on.
      AWS - Few hands on assignments but they are more or less related to configuring AWS tools. For ex: Spinning Virtual Machine in AWS (EM2), Configuring security policies, databases etc.

      Difficulty: Low, easy to get straight A.

      If you have no experience with AWS and DevOps then this course will provide a basic understanding to build on but if you are already familiar with AWS then i wouldn't recommend this course. Also, if you are planning to enroll in multiple courses then you can combine this course with other heavy lifting courses (that's how i did it).

      Let me know if you have any other questions.

      Thanks,
      Sumit

      Thanks for the response, Sumit. An intro course to AWS is exactly what I was hoping for. No tests, only homework?

      Hi Grat, sorry for the delay. I was busy wrapping up my application for the ALM program.
      There are no tests for E-91, only assignments and class discussions.
