I loved this course. When I had issues support was awesome sauce. I really enjoyed the puns this instructor used to keep you from going off in a daze. I really wish I would have found Coursera sooner.

It was tough since networking is my weakest subject when it comes to computers but I learned a lot and I'm already applying what I've learned to my own networks at home.

Hard but learned a lot. The motivation of the Google team helped a lot or else I would have gotten bored and not finished. Good interview and troubleshooting scenarios.
