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.

Heck of a challenge. I almost wish there were an easier way to describe the five layer model, as that took the longest time to wrap my head around.
