It is really interisting model but the chellengable part is that it is whole theoretical. It is really hard to always make a mind mape. If there can be a way to put all these informations in practice would be much better.

Thank you.

It is really helpful the use a lot of animation to explain the more complex concepts. The instructor is just amazing! The content is clear, precise, and updated. I only missed a little bit more info about VPN and IPv6 related issues.

The only thing I am having issues with in this course is the Static IP and Routing. I need help and I do not see on here where I can get some assistance. I went back and watched the vide at least 3 times and I am not just getting it.

The material here is detailed enough to be interesting and require a lot of attention, but not overwhelming. It's very well presented and I'd say almost anybody using a computer beyond the bare minimum level would benefit from this.

Listen, if you take the topics based on the weeks and then Google Search them outside of this course, you'll expand on the knowledge a bit further. The quizzes will be easier if your supplement some Youtube videos in your down time.

Great overview of how networks and the internet work for a person with some familiarity with the topics. It really brought my disparate pieces of information together and helped me form a more structured and useful understanding.

This was a really thorough introduction to networking. I know that it's not comprehensive, but the bite size chunks of content were just right. I feel a lot more confident in my regular job working with networked components now.

This was a difficult course for me, but they did a great job explaining it and after viewing the videos of the third and fourth weeks again a few times I finally figured it out. Pretty sure networking is not where my future lies.
