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 was really time-consuming but it was really worth learning. Although in the end, it seems to be very basic things, they would be essential through whatever you want to accomplish in the IT field.

This was a pretty good course - if you have some elementary understanding, you can probably manage it in about a week. But great stuff and very well explained!

Very interesting. This course explains many aspects of how the internet works. When learning, it is helpful to keep a glossary of difficult words and acronyms.

A lot of information, a lot! But how it was presented and sectioned off made it digestible. I would have loved to see a lab actually configuring a DNS server.

Overall I really like this class because all lectures, assignments, and tests are straight forward. A couple things I dislike about the class are that there.

It's a tough subject for me, but I don't believe it to be the fault of the presentation. The presenter was great and I enjoyed his enthusiasm for networking.
