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.

Great overview of the technical aspects of networking that, once again, started from the very "I know nothing basics" and moved to more advanced topics at a rate that this beginner could keep up with.

It needs more about routing protocol configuration on a router and network troubleshooting scenarios like the first course as helpdesk counters in real life.

Really learned a lot, especially about the network layer and data encapsulation. It was pretty in-depth but I found myself looking for more outside the course.

It´s a hard course which means will arise the need to focus and study it´s contents by your own, but in the end it pays you back granting very good knowledges.

It was a lot to learn. Struggled a bit but being able to go back and refresh was great. It's what helps me to have that access to re-read or re-watch videos.

Some of the material was difficult to grasp but overall simple and well layed out. Networking concepts are by nature fun and enjoyable when taught in this way.

Great course! Lots of theory , I think adding more practical and visual activities to the course would allow for some the concept to come across more clearly.

That's a lot of information in a small package. Very clearly presented. Challenging quizzes but the hardest was the assignment to put it all in my own words.

This is a chapter with quite a lot of difficult to understand theory and requires high expertise. And there are very few practical troubleshooting exercises.

Good course. Especially if you have a basic understanding of internet. The only issue I would have for this part it only touches a little on a lot of topics.

Esta buenísimo el curso, los fundamentos están perfectamente explicados y entendibles, pero aún esta un poco desactualizado, si cambian eso será excelente.

Excellent material. The only reason I did not give the course 5 stars was how difficult QwikLabs is to navigate and use. Otherwise, the course is 5 stars.

The course bits and bytes were very helpful for a beginner to extend their skills in the area of computer networks. Thanks to the faculty who taught us this

I hope the final certificate has more hands on assignments. I learned a lot of concept and the organization of IT but I need to do, to learn and remember.

Information is delivered very well. Easy to understand. Well defined concepts. If you really study and pay attention you will learn a lot from this course.

Great all around course, very informative. Had issue with a few of the module labs and the graded written assignment, but seek help from the forums for it.

Some lesson plans didnt seem a fleshed out as others, and certain topics were brought up but then never touched on later or just didnt show up on the test.

This course is decidedly more in-depth and geeky than IT Fundamental course 1. The presentation and layout are the same as course one, and well organized.

I absolutely loved it, but some of the end assessments aren't very clear and can lead you on by not being worded in a way that makes their question clear.

I found the course challenging, but if I thought about it and paused for a second; I could search through the videos for what I needed to know and Eureka!

It is a bit difficult to get through, but if you take good notes and review regularly it is a great educational step in getting familiar with IT concepts.

It's a very exciting course, and the instructors are hard-working people to deliver the courses smoothly, I forward my great appreciation for all of them.

Good course with a lot of theory and lack of practice. "Networking" is a subject broad enough to implement a specialization or a professional certificate.

I learned a lot from this module. I would have given it 5 stars except the transcription was missing for the last week. Other than that, I enjoyed myself.
