It was a really good corse, and all of the subjects were well explained. Maybe, the only thing i would improve is to add some glossary at the end of each chapter, since there are way way too many acronyms to remember, and it so it could be helpful.

It is not that easy for me, since I have no technical background and I am a non native English speaker. However, the instructors did great in delivering his message. Also, it was easy for me to just come back and repeat where I did not understand.

Having completed CompTIA Network+ also, this isn't a replacement but this rounds out the knowledge from that certification nicely, a great complement I will be recommending for any struggling in N+ studies or just those wanting to know a bit more.

Wow, it's an amazing class. This course gives a lot of info, and also many leads on what to research further. I plan on setting up a great home network, and learning as much as I can about a future in networking. Thank you for this amazing course!

A lot of information but good information. The 8+ minute videos got a little long. Maybe it would be better if it were cut down into smaller segments. What I found of interest was the information on IPv6 because that is the future of the internet.

The only thing I don't like is that some of the exams are in Greek. Which is annoying when I am on a roll then have to stop and complain. I clearly states I am an English speaker, so I don't know. Then there's the thing about having it corrected.

This is still a warm up and gives you lots of knowledge. Hit the vocabulary as much as you can. They don't often repeat what the string of letters stands for. You might even want to skip ahead to the vocab in every section or in the last lesson.

Overall, the course is very thorough and the videos make it a bit easier to understand. There are many difficult challenges to overcome, however, rewatching the content a few times will help retain and understand the information that is taught.

It was a phenomenal introductory course. It's not something that'll make you a networking guru, but as I said...its an introductory course. You'll get ample understanding about the underlying internet infrastructure that us humans have built.
