Apply yourself to these terms and concepts and you will gain knowledge that is presented in a very understandable way. Watch and rewatch the course videos and I promise it will all start making sense!

Great overview of the technical aspects of networking that, once again, started from the very "I know nothing basics" and moved to more advanced topics at a rate that this beginner could keep up with.

Overall I really like this class because all lectures, assignments, and tests are straight forward. A couple things I dislike about the class are that there.

It's a tough subject for me, but I don't believe it to be the fault of the presentation. The presenter was great and I enjoyed his enthusiasm for networking.

It is an excellent course. I have learnt many things in this course from networking protocols like TCP/IP, OSI to IPV4, IPV6 addresses and their compression.

difficult, wordy, and informative. This is how a course on networking should be. More animation regarding how the network works would have been great also!

It would be beneficial to provide additional quizzes during the videos to test the material that was taught. the three questions at the end are a nice touch.

Very clear explanations and good involving presentations. The video "All Layers working in Unison" is the best I ever seen showing dynamics of TCP connection

Lots of interesting stuff. I understand the concepts very well, and I guess that was the point. I'm not very confident I could actually fix anything though.

PHENOMINAL COURSE!! I learned so much about the in-depth functions behind networking and how it all pulls together on a base-level. 10/10 totally recommend.

I think you all should go more in detail with the IPv6 and possibly how to apply it in windows and Linux; or at least verify where the settings are to do so
