Apply yourself to these terms and concepts and you will gain knowledge that is presented in a very understandable way. Watch and rewatch the course videos and I promise it will all start making sense!

This course was more intensive than the first one, but felt a little more hands-on. I am excited to see how the next course goes. I do feel I learned quite a bit in this course and it was challenging.

We need more practical examples or ones we can do like in learning the transportation layer would be good with game diagrams of connectivity or fields to give us a more permanent memory than just the Glossary recall. It was good overall

The course is packed with information. I will be so excited when I begin to connect the dots as to how everything works together. It would be awesome if we could get a pdf or something tangible we could reference now and in the future.

It was pretty interesting to learn the in's and out's of computer networking. Some of the information I was familiar with but not with a lot of it. I know that the information provided will be very valuable to me in my future endeavors.

Very helpful! In our workplace, we assist customers with their domain forwarding, and this shed light on how DNS works, and of course, learning about networking as a whole gives a different perspective on how amazing the Internet works.

Was a very interesting course and learned a lot about networks. Just happy I was able to get through the info. Got a little stuck at IPv6 compressions and learning subnets and subnet masks, but was excited when i got through everything.

It is really interisting model but the chellengable part is that it is whole theoretical. It is really hard to always make a mind mape. If there can be a way to put all these informations in practice would be much better.

Thank you.

It is really helpful the use a lot of animation to explain the more complex concepts. The instructor is just amazing! The content is clear, precise, and updated. I only missed a little bit more info about VPN and IPv6 related issues.

The only thing I am having issues with in this course is the Static IP and Routing. I need help and I do not see on here where I can get some assistance. I went back and watched the vide at least 3 times and I am not just getting it.

The material here is detailed enough to be interesting and require a lot of attention, but not overwhelming. It's very well presented and I'd say almost anybody using a computer beyond the bare minimum level would benefit from this.

Listen, if you take the topics based on the weeks and then Google Search them outside of this course, you'll expand on the knowledge a bit further. The quizzes will be easier if your supplement some Youtube videos in your down time.
