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 amazing and helped me understand so much more about networking, things I never thought I would know or understand. Very fulfilling and I can't wait to use this knowledge going forward.

This is by far the hardest part of computing for me and I have taken multiple classes on networking and read countless articles and chapters on the subject, but this class helped visualize it better than I have been able to do with other classes or on my own.

The course is really good but some of the chapters are really hard to understand since there isn't much presentation. I personally feel that if the course like this would have more diagrams and a bit more of presentation it would be much easier to understand.

Very informative hands-on learning. I would definitely refer this course. There were challenging times when I thought I wouldn't be able to complete some of my work, but the forum was truly helpful, and the fact that I could log in anywhere was also helpful.

Quite intensive, instructive and impressive for someone like me who has no previous theoretical and technical background in networking. The foundation that you learn from this course is more than enough to catapult you to a higher level that you can imagine.

I would like for the videos to be able to pop out of the window, I personally do not like how the video screen widens as I scroll down the page, I would suggest a pop-out window option and an option to stream the videos to my TV. Thank you for the courses.

The bits and bytes of Networking has broaden my knowledge and understanding of networking and how devices communicate along the five layers of the network. I called it the PDNTA which stands for Physical, Data-link, Network,Transport and Application layers.

The bits and bytes of computer networking course is well condensed and gives a ton of hard revealing knowledge on computer networks. It is well presented in a fashion that is "approachable" by anyone. I have learned a great deal of knowledge. Thanks Google!

I never knew I could do it, guys! It was fun all the way. I have a bit of a challenge, I must say, in Week 2: the Routing, Subnetting, and in Week 6: IPv6 address space.

I am glad I took this course, it open my mind to a lot of information about IT Support!

Very interesting! It was as usual very complete everything was explained very clearly. As a non-English speaker, I appreciate the subtitles and the script under each video. I hope that the next course will be as interesting as this one! Thank you Google :)

This course explained how networking comes together in a clear, concise manner. Before this course, the entire concept of computer networks seemed daunting, and this helped break it down in a way that was easy for me to understand. Thank you very much!

Amazing instructor! Not only was he incredibly informative and helpful with the large amount of information in the course, he also spoke my language - puns! I got a good laugh while learning and really appreciated the humor making it not feel so heavy.

Lots of technical information that I definitely need to go over again, but I thought it was well-presented. The video transcriptions are a little frustratingly inaccurate on each video, but the ideas come across if you're relying on it for your notes.

This course taught me a lot about how information is transported through a network and the different components of one of the two network models. It was challenging at times but gave me a great overview of how networks and computers work and function.
