Great course! Good start for any IT career. I love the fact that there are no pre-requisites required to enroll. Not even a high school diploma needed just your willingness to learn. Thank you Google!

A very good overview of key elements of personal computers and networking in the age of the internet. Truly starts from the basics of the 1's and 0's of the binary world and how computers "compute".

As an IT specialist, I wanted to make sure I had the basics down. I was able to get through this course very quickly, but this course is really good at starting from scratch and building upon itself.

The course is very inforamtive and well-organized and it is presented in a good way suitable for the beginners. However, I did not like the quiz labs because they always make my screen stop working .

A great high-level overview of Computer Networks and Networks. Paced just right, and plenty of good information. Not an in-depth course, but accessible to those wanting an introduction to networking.

This was fun. I thought parts of it got a little more detailed without providing underlying information or didn't get into enough information but I understand that this is the introduction to it all.

It wasa nice refresher in my case; however, two of the tests were completely in Russian and the screen was clearly trying to have me install a hard drive into what is definitively a video card slot

This course is full of a lot of information. I wish there were even more practical projects to do. I love any opportunities for hands on application. I did find the network section very challenging.

I learned a lot of new things by taking this course. Although I am in the field of IT support for almost more than 9 years but didn't know the very basic things that have been taught in this course.

I stopped studying for the A+ to start with this intro and it was worth it. I picked up more than I did while I was reading and the way things were said made an impact on what I retained. Amazing!
