Loads to take in, if you've ever wondered how it all works this is definetly the course for you. Mostly fact based learning, not many usable skills gained, but definatly a great base for fundamental knowledge of I.T.

I am really thankful to Mr Victor. You made this course and many things that I didn't understand in my school time I understand now, above that we go to some detail which is a really amazing experience. Thanks a lot.

Good basics in networking! I knew a little bit about networking before I started this course from doing a little bit in high school but learned a lot more in this course. Very interesting information for the IT age.

Not easy to complete though well worth the effort to do so. Remember to start a very good notebook of questions you have so you can answer them yourself. Pay attention to what is being taught, this is not easy stuff.

This section of the IT Support Professional Certificate offered by Google/Coursera is quite technical, but WOW! Do I feel like I've come such a long way, and everything was explained as simple to follow as possible!

Man this course was so packed with IT course work I think I was a little burnt out. My computer failed but when I recently got it fixed I was able to pick right up where I left off. Networking is pretty interesting.

In depth knowledge, easy yet challenging, everything you need. This course just like part 1 was great. Very informative not to much info. I never felt overloaded and dead lines were manageable even working fulltime.

Definitely one of the best MOOC's I have undertaken so far. The only problem I faced was there were times I really wished that the instructor provided a more detailed explanation of the topic. (example sub netting)

The course is very well structured regarding its syllabus and order taught. I obtained a solid concrete educational background and also a strong basis to my already self taught IT skills.

I really loved this course!

Excellent course. Bunch of concepts but it was enough for an introductory course on computing networking. Basic concepts were introduced in an effective way and some exercises were good to understand those as well.

This course was rough! But only because my understanding of how computer networks work and the 5 layer model were limited. Great instruction and with enough time I was able to understand all of the concepts taught.

This course was a slog. A lot of memorization and note-taking. That being said, I feel like I have a much better understanding of the "under the hood" processes of networking that other resources have glossed over.

Networking is a lot more than just connecting to a wireless signal. This course you will dig into all the aspects of networking. Pay close attention to the sub netting and IP. And try to wrap your head around IPv6.

This course did a great job and explaining the concepts and the practice quizzes made all the difference for the final exam as well. Not to mention help you understand where your weaknesses about the concepts are.

Although obviously many of the topics were not coverd in extensive detail, what is really good to know is precisely what Google, the most significant entity on the web, thinks one needs to know for a career in IT.

I loved this great course. It is great for beginners and for people that may have forgotten a thing or two. The way it was taught makes it so much better than reading man pages or something else as dry and boring.
