Another compelling course, especially for those inclined towards the networking aspects of computers. Learning about some of the network models and how they work as an individual layer and in unison, the importance of services and protocols such as DNS and DHCP and much more provides not only knowledge and skill, but also an appreciation for the innovative solutions that allows us to utilize the Internet in numerous ways . . . including taking this course.

I recently completed the Computer Networking course and wow, what a journey! As someone who's always been intrigued by how computers communicate, this course was an eye-opener. The content was deep and well-organized, and while I admit I felt a bit swamped at times, it was worth the effort. I'd recommend this course to anyone eager to dive deep into the world of networking. Just a heads up – keep a notebook handy, you'll want to jot down a lot of notes!

Incredible course! It was in-depth and concise and really teaches you the literal bits and bytes of what makes communicating with someone else across the world in a fraction of a second possible. It is very techincal though, so be prepared to review the materials multiple times to really understand things through but at the end of it all, it will be quite the satisfying feeling knowing you've conquered one of the most fundamental parts of IT support.

"The Bits and Bytes of Computer Networking" is an excellent course for beginners who want to build a strong foundation in computer networking. The course effectively combines theoretical knowledge with practical skills, making it highly valuable for newcomers to the field like me. While there are areas that could be improved for more advanced learners, the course remains a valuable resource for anyone starting their networking journey.

I really enjoyed the course, as a beginner somehow i wasn't lost. I had tried learning about computer networking before but it was a bit too difficult so i left it, I guess it was because they just dived right into the complexity. But this course takes you from zero upward. Though I had to watch some videos more than once to understand but that is just the process of learning. I liked the lecturer's geeky jokes to keep one's attention.

I liked how organized this course was with many visuals to explain the information that was given. It was a lot of information and really hard to understand but after going over it a few times and with some other aids, I feel like it really prepares me for getting CompTIA certified in the future and having a very good foundation that will serve the rest of my IT career for whatever I decide to do or specialize in, in the future.

The course is suitable for beginners, with no prerequisites required. It is structured to be accessible for self-paced learning, but learners have noted that some of the content might feel a bit superficial or rushed, especially when delving into more complex networking topics. While some users felt the course lacked detailed explanations in some areas, others enjoyed its general approach to foundational networking Coursera.

a great course but i cant complete because there is a error in the week 6 lab test ipv6 compression so i cant get credit for completing the couse i hope it gets fixed not just me. the whole class cant compete it see discussion forum great course because it really made my trouble shoot so i could pass the ipv6 compression test. and i figured it out. lots of thinking and experimenting. thats what IT IS ALL ABOUT

This course has up my skill in the IT fraternity as an entry level support specialist. I am now confident to apply for jobs in the IT field.  Big thanks to Coursera and Google for making these studies a reality for some of us who have literally near no knowledge before the start of the program. I really appreciate all the instructors for taking me along till the end of this program, your impact was/is phenomenal.

I took this course about as serious as I would any real class. A lot of note taking and slowly digesting the content really helped me get past this course. Some stuff could use a bit better explaining, but thankfully the forums and the community do a great job in directing you to the right spots for better or more thorough explanations. I really enjoyed learning this content and I would 100% do it again!

I use to struggle with the networking concepts and tried very hard in class to get what the teacher actually meant and now after taking up this course, I feel very confident with the concepts and it is really great that this course started with the basics and it strengthened my foundation and also I have developed a keen interest in networks all credits to the teacher and course. Thank you so much :)

The Networking section of this specialization is well organized and the facilitator is precise with his relay of valuable information, while avoiding any unnecessary filler content. The content for Networking is already dense as it is, so it was a relief to not have to go through the transcript and filter out the non-pertinent information. This was a huge benefit to my fast-intake learning style.

Networking subnetting ipv6 were all tough , I sure am glad I finished up on the course but I know there is a lot more of these areas to learn about . It made me realize that I needed to apply more time to the different areas to stay fresh in it. I can see why it is a field of constant learning. There will always be more to learn about and I think that is the most intriguing part of IT work..

Thank you, team Google, Coursera and DICT Philippines for this wonderful experience. This Bits and Bytes of Computer Networking is so completed and exhausting to learn yet teacher Victor Escobedo made it easy, and I am glad to be one of your student. May I suggest though, to please include video of actual setting up of network, it would be a great help. Again, thank you very much.

All materials encompassed in this course model was well-rounded as well as informative. Thanks to all aspiring course developers for their endless efforts and motivational feedback videos. Thanks to Google Corporation for providing community with such comprehensive and innovative professionalcertifications with a bunch of insightful and easy-to-understand contents and materials!

I absolutely loved the second course of the proffessional certificate. It really made me polish some existing skills and also learn new and exciting things which I can use in the real world. I felt absolutely challenged and enjoyed going through the material and going through the material. My course guide was very thorough, clear and detailed on the reading material and lectures.

Excellent material and an outstanding way of guiding the learner through the course, having us complete tasks as we follow along with the instructors. Bravo, Coursera and Google!!! I sincerely thank you, and I am finishing up the sysadmin course now! Hopefully, before X-mas, I will have completed the entire certification so as to start the new year with an inspiring new career.

The bits and bytes of computer networking class was challenging, engaging and insightful. I would like to have seen more of the videos be transcribed, as note taking without available subtitles or transcriptions is quite difficult. Over all, I feel confidant that the knowledge provided to me in this class will greatly aid me in my IT Support Specialist journeys ahead of me!

This course was great! A lot of learning, a lot of memorization but the course itself (IT Professional Google) has been an amazing course all together. The Bits and Bytes of Computer Networking specifically, has thus far been the hardest and a lot harder than the first initial course. However after completing the 6 week course, I'm happy and satisfied with the course.

THIS COURSE WAS HARD BUT FUN TO LEARN! Everything from relearning what certain terms were by definition that you don't even think about because you use them was an eye opening experience. The teacher was AMAZING! Each video was easy to learn, easy to understand and made me laugh during some of the puns and jokes to ease you into all the technical jargon. Great course!

The "Bits and Bytes" course on Coursera was excellent. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, and the material was well-structured with practical applications. The interactive quizzes and assignments helped me solidify my understanding of computer architecture. I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in learning about computers at a low-level.

Very good course. I learned a lot, and although there was so much information, the lessons were broken down in small enough parts so that I could go back and review concepts that were more difficult for me without having to sift through too much irrelevant material.

The information here is well organized and represented and very well executed. Highly recommended!

Understading how networking worked was something I never thought about. Now, I think about it when I surf the web or write an email or when I update my list on my phone, and it's on my computer as well. All of the packets being constructed, torn down and reconstructued. Just to see the weather in Tokyo. I learned so many things and how it all works in unison.

Fantastic course I enjoyed the course very well. The way the instructor explains the concepts is really easy to understand and the course also covers in-depth concepts with real-life applications. Thank you for your kind cooperation and also for giving me the chance to complete the course which may help in my future course planning degrees approved by google.

A must-do the course if you want a basic understanding of the networking and its terms like router, hub, repeaters, switch, modems, etc. The magic of how the transmission of data is made through various protocols, layers, and devices is explained very clearly. It seems a bit difficult if we are new to networking but as the time passes it all makes sense.
