This comment is for the entire series of ITF+ prep so far. Some of the instructions have been rather oblique. The labs are spotty in design and function and assume too much. The AI grader on the extra credit assignments has regular brain farts where it marks obviously correct answers incorrect. I had a lot of background knowledge, so I have been able to confidently correct or navigate screwups when they occurred. However, this is supposed to be a basic curriculum with no previous experience assumed. A true newbie taking these courses might end up very confused and discouraged, at certain points. Suggest future changes/updates be tested on actual 'newbs' to verify that they are functional and accessible with no major previous networking experience beyond consumer-level. Put a smart housewife with an ipad, a cell phone, and a 110 IQ in the hot seat and see how she does...

Possibly make more hands on lab work by splitting up some of the ones here into smaller pieces, that way the student will need to have remembered, or go back again and re-read, their notes or the modules for the answers. This way instead of doing several small things, the repetition of tasks spread out, while a little more time consuming, could help reinforce the lessons learned.
