Tons of information about the tools you've used before but never really realized just how interconnected everything is/was. I really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the various bits and bytes!

This course is truly amazing, It really gives the foundation of how the computer network is and explain concepts that are somehow difficult to grasp in a very friendly way.

I am loving this series of courses.

It was a well-balanced course from a technical and information load perspective. Week 4 Networking Services was the toughest part of the course as it provided a lot of new information in networking overview.

Some of the questions seem a little irrelevant and It would be nice to have some more diagrams in to videos. I learn much better visually and find it hard to understand this complex topic just buy listening.

You learn a lot on this module, sometimes the course might not explain something in a lot of detail because there is a lot to cover but doing some research of your own to fill in those gaps goes a long way.

This was a hard lesson for me because I am a hands on type learner, and trying to put all this together in my head was hard, but I was able to do it, and now I feel more confident in what am I shooting for.

This section had a lot of meat on the bones and was definitely more challenging. IPV6 abbreviation had me on the ropes for a hot minute. Once I finally understood the learning concept, it was easy peasy.
