This was a much more challenging and technical than the first course for this certificate. I have done other video based education, and this is much more upbeat and engaging than those.

Very thorough and well explained for starting in networking. If you already know the basics, this will take you a little deeper. If you start from 0, there isn't a better place to start!

This was an incredibly detailed course, which I can honestly say made my brain hurt!! It reminded me of learning the circuitry of the nervous system. Looking forward to more learning.

I enjoyed leaning about how data flows from one computer to another, even over a router to a different network. The instructor of this course is very good and presents the content well.

The best course could be for the subject. Course divided into small small topics with quizzes and make it easier for a student to learn. I would always recommend courses from coursera.

I give the instructor a thumbs up. He's calm while delivering content and also makes a joke or two to keep the course lively. The course is easy to follow up with and to understand.

Amazing course. Definitely don't see ethernet cords, and computer the same after this course. So much to learn and so much more to come with IPv6 slowly becoming more, and more common.
