The material is very good. I would only say that there feels like a giant gap between the quizzes vs the portfolio activities. The difference in difficulty level is palpable. The quizzes are easier to manage probably because I receive adequate exposure to the information before the quiz. The portfolio activities seem to be the opposite, where you are essentially trying to put something together that you don't have much familiarity with and you really only see what you were supposed to do or could have done after observing the exemplar. The guiding/ quiz portfolio questions/examples are helpful and the idea that our work may look different to the exemplar is understandable, but it does produce a question of, "Will the employer appreciate my portfolio, or is the exemplar better?"

Really enjoyed this lesson. Challenging but really good material. I liked the assignments, however, I would prefer assignments not to be mid-lesson. It messes with my focus. Im focused during the lesson reading, watching video, taking notes, then the assignments pops up and I have to shift my brain in a different direction, then go back to focusing on video, note taking and reading. It throws me off. I like the assignments a lot. For me, as a learner and my brain, I would prefer to do assignments at the end as opposed to in the middle of the lesson. Im sure Im the only weirdo with that brain function issue. lol Great material!

The course strikes a good balance between theoretical knowledge and practical skills needed for entry-level cybersecurity roles. The course provides a good introduction to Networking concepts, protocols, and security measures for beginners in cybersecurity. I found it helpful in understanding the fundamentals of networks and network security. The course content is well-structured, and the instructors explain complex topics using real-world examples and scenarios.

This course covered a lot of important ground with regard to cybersecurity. I think to better understand the concepts it would be more beneficial to have instruction on completing the activity reports vice just providing examples for download. I equally believe this course would be more beneficial with more interactivity exercises illustrating tools like tcpdump and wireshark and instruction in breaking down specific details of the packet analysis.

The course was great and gives a solid foundation of the network basics. I was hoping on seeing more videos and less reading materials though, as it is usually easier for me to memorize new information by visualizing it. I was also expecting more advanced networking topics (maybe some sample firewall configurations, for example), but I guess it's a good course if you are just starting out in the networking field.

It's a great course with a lot of well-made content and relevant questions, It would be nice if there were a little bit more interactivity when it comes to the scenarios, as there isn't a good way to verify the learning other than looking at the pill filled solutions in the MS Word documents. A drag-and-drop activity would be better here.

As usual, the course was technical but was broken down to be simple for easy learning. I enjoyed the course and learned some great skill. I am glad that I chose the certificate program to learn about Cybersecurity. However, I think that coherence among concepts of the course could be improved

A great introduction to computer networking with an emphasis on cybersecurity along with many activities to build a portfolio. project based work is a great way to learn, and this course offers it. Just some of the networking material was dense, though approachable if you take the time.

I would have loved a bit more examples on how to conducts assessments and the tasks themselves could have more details on the attack case, because everything gets confusing and repeating too much with almost no distinction. Otherwise a great course!

Some of the activity based assignments assumed more knowledge than was provided in the course syllabus. I did not go through the additional reading material, so that could be why. But I feel a more streamlined approach to this could be taken.

It was challenging and I spent more time reviewing new concepts in order to pass the quizzes. The assignments were great learning experiences too and I can't wait to become more familiar with making reports.

This course was excellent with the given structure and presentation it only lost a star because it didn't gave any warning sign about how long or say lengthy this course will be compared to the previous two

I had to do this while sick and injured...BRUTAL. But this course WILL teach you the working skills of it. Just make sure to know how to set up your computer when you go to work and you're good.

It seemed very in-depth which is nice for someone like me who has no prior knowledge of this subject matter, however it seemed like a big jump in complexity from the previous course.

Informative, but a portion of the learning material included technical information that I felt was too granular. Ex: explanation of the specific purpose of various ports.

This course was packed with content and that was ocassionally overwhelming, but overall it was interesting, interactive and well worth the time.

its great and easy to learn own your time pace. but still looking for to learn SQL, python, Linux or other languages to use in cyber security.

I would've liked more hands on hardening practices, but I liked the practice on writing reports or explaining my thought process.

çbuen recordatorio o buen resumen para tener unas nociones sobre las redes , subredes y la seguridad on premise y en la nube

Some portions were a little difficult to push through, but overall a very well done course! I would give 4.5 if I could.

Being a complete newcomer to this industry the Connect and Protect course has been a great overview on Network Security.

Ojalá estuviera subtitulado en castellano y pudiera descargar el temario que me han explicado en los videos en un PDF.

easy to understand cover all networking concepts lot to learn from activities good teaching as well study material

A good review for me but I can see where this is necessary for people who are new to Networking and Cybersecurity.

I like the ease of the class with strong basic skills first. I have no training in IT other than basic windows.
