This course covers A LOT of networking (especially for a beginner) The exam at the end of week 3 proved most difficult, and I used the discussion forums and outside resources to better explain the 5 layer model. Maybe the five layer model should be a course all on it's own.

learned a lot but I'll have to go back and look up some ot the sections because when I got to the compression test I'd pass it then it gave me a zero so I had to contact coursera and they had to wait on google to correct thier error so It's been 2 months that I lost waiting

This is awesome course. You can learn many networking things like how computer device communicate each other, IPv4, IPv6, DNS, DHCP, Troubleshooting, Cloud Compute, Interview etc. It's really helpful for who want to be a Network Engineer.

Thank You google team, coursera team.

Did not enjoy the guy teaching it at all, otherwise would of been 5 stars. He was annoying and used words that I had to look up sometimes. One example was using the word "antiquated". Why make the learning harder? I hope people do not get as frustrated as I did with the guy.

Overall, a great course. I know that they will continue to make improvements. There are a few sections in the material that are not as clear as they need to be (for example, in the IPv6 compression exercises). However I still enjoyed the course and felt that I learned a lot.

This one is a hard course, but getting through it was a big accomplishment that I cannot simply overlook. My only complaint, is the 2 minute "my story" video's, which pulls me out of being locked in for studying, I feel they are really not needed in every single course. :/

Buen curso recomendable, para repaso de los que ya tienen carrera relacionada con sistemas y computación y para el publico en general y que con esto puedan entender un poco la lógica que hay detrás de la tecnología que usamos día a día y puedan dejar de pensar que es magia

Covers all the basics of networking, but you may want to practice more on subnetting and router connection to really get a grasps of networking. I think this module should have included networking simulation like GNS3 to complement the theory, that's why I give it 4 star.

It was great learning as well as valuable experience to me. The course curriculum is very well designed and it also has good engaging quizzes to test our concepts at the end of each lessons. All concepts are well explained with practical approach and real life examples.

I felt it got easier by the end especially on the topics of VPNs etc that felt the most natural to me, but the first three modules were the toughest to learn! Brain hurt. You must really apply yourself this one and take extremely good notes of every detail in my opinion.

honestly struggled with this course, i am more of a visual and hands on learner, alot of this course was alot of info just being droped on you, i had to use alot of outside videos and breking down the info into more chewable bits. still a good course and would recomend

At times I thought the instructor could explain the topics a bit more in depth. I had to do Google searches to fill in some information I felt I wasn't understanding. I also thought that the graded plug-in tests could use better instructions for how to take the test.

This course is very great if you are interested in the networking side of things. My only complaint is that it isn't the best for newcomers as there are topics that take a lot longer to understand than others. If you put in the work, then you will most likely succeed.

There is a ton of information to get through and digest. Being a visual learner, this was a bit hard for me. Concepts were touched on, and then we are on to the next one. Then a quiz comes up and asks you about that brief mention. I just wish there was more meat here.

Good contents and had fun. Thanks!

Two complaints about grade exams: at Wifi configuration, the instructions said Orange colored Bubbles will appear but it was Blue; and at IPv6 compression, if my memory is correct, Chrome was recommended only after starting the exam.

There was a lot of info to get through but I thought the host did a great job of explaining the material. The graphics were great as well in depicting the various protocols and network layering. I would have like more practice quizzes to help the knowledge take hold.

Wow ALOT of information: Well done, being able to check notes helps alot retaining information and doing it on my own time since I suffer from severe Anxiety and social too, Hate being rushed. Taking Anxiety medication help speed this up too, Green tea and caffeine.

It seems like this course could use an update. The content is still completely relevant, but it seems like with the newer technology, there's a lot more REALLY technical supplemental reading that's almost just a list of glossary terms. Otherwise it's a great course.

Great course. Teaches me visually as well as hands on. Only problem I have is most of the quizzes are in Ukranian. . Hopefully they get that fixed because ultimately, you are not able to pass the course if you cant understand or translate the language in the quiz.

It was good as you probably already know it was quite a bit or byte of information to soak up. I can't say it was easy but I can say that I did learned a lot of useful information. I recommend using the "Pomodoro" technique when making the attempt at this course.

Create a platform whereby course participants can directly forward questions to the course instructors seeing that the program is is technical and practical in nature.

There should also be more practical questions or tasks with instructions on how to complete them.

Very heaving in terms of content, but I think there should be reference guides or cheat sheets for easy reviewing afterwards. Having to revisit the videos may be a hassle when trying to looking for the specific content you need. Overall, it was a great experience.

This course definitely explains a lot in regards to computer networking however I would have loved for the course to allow the student to troubleshoot common network problems in a hands-on graded plugin. Overall, it is a great course with lots of useful material.

This course was very Informative, but also very technical and it did get a little difficult to understand at times. If I got through it you can too! also Victor (hope I spelled that right) was a great instructor who explained things in a well paced clear manner.

Lessons were well paced, however some divisions could have been done better as some videos would have been better as two videos rather than a single super long technical heavy video.

Asides that, the course content is very well rounded and covers a lot of ground!
