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!

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.

This course has been trickier and sometimes even a bit exhausting. Too many new concepts to learn and, for some of them, I had to deep more because I couldn't visualize them properly. But it's been quite interesting. I liked it. I will see you in the next one!

algo q se podria mejorar es que al final en la entrevista de trabajo, la mujer conoce muy bien el concepto para hacer troubleshouting, algunos quiz simplemente estan preguntando cosas q no son importantes, seria buena mas ejercicios de solucion de problemas

Some of the videos kind of skip over the full process of getting from point A to B, like when using a subnet mask. Would prefer if every step was explained before shown the quick and easy way. That way, we understand how and why the quick and easy way works.

Es un curso muy bueno, la verdad es que tienes que hacer muchos apuntes para repasar y seguir estudiando. Es mucha información y lo único que les faltó es que sean un poco más ilustrativos, a veces todo con solo palabras y texto no se entiende a la primera.

It was a very helpful course, but I would like you share more information about every topic, a recomended book or something more guided to the same way, because in internet the information is enormous and it's difficult to chose what info is more relevant.

Pretty dense material. I don't feel like I was truly tested on whether or not I fully understood the content. Provides a good overview of the topic, and requires you to do your own research if you wish to get beyond the superficial level of understanding.

It was very difficult if all the information is very new to you. However, I am only speaking from personal experience. I recommend buying a book or two on the topic and definitely read and look into deeply at the supplemental reading that is provided.

I struggled with this course more than I expected, but with the resources available I was able to pass the class. Even if I don't understand everything that was taught I have transcripts I can use for future reference. Overall it was a very good class!

This was a nice introduction to networking. I can see this being useful for an entry level person who maybe knows some of these things. They can round out their knowledge about networking. It even helped me and I have been doing this for 20 years.

I feel that some of the more technical material in this course could have been explained in a more engaging manner. Some parts of the course definitely required outside instruction for me, especially subnetting. I found some great videos on YouTube!

Course material is well explained and gets challenging as we go further. It exposed me to a lot of new information. There was a bug on one of the quizzes that was preventing people from moving forward for weeks and caused stress. It's now fixed.

The video and reading materials were well-presented. However, I think it would've been beneficial to have more hand-on quizzes, or assignments regarding the week 6 segments on testing port connectivity and using the command line tools mentioned.

There is a lot of technical stuff not quite easy to grasp at first approach. It takes time to take it all in and digest but surely it is worth taking time to go through this course. It realy gives a very good undestanding of computer networking.

Really informative, easy to understand explanations. I learned the concepts a lot more easily and solidly than I did from a semester long classroom course I took.

A bit more interactivity may have helped me out with learning the concepts though.

This course was the best to learn about how networks work. The reason I am giving it 4 star is that it didn't have hand on skill experience in the video for better understanding, but overall, this course has every knowledge of knowing Networks.

Really helpful and informative course I was just hopping that we had a little more hands on work beside that the teacher was good at explaining the terms and the material overall is well filtered. I give this course a solid 4 out of 5 stars !!!

It would be a cool opportunity to have a Plug-in test where it was possible to input all of the steps in how devices communicate within the same network and from different networks. That process is the hardest to swallow by merely listening to.

Pretty difficult to follow along if you're not at least a little familiar from past experience, but very enjoyable and interesting nonetheless. I think diagrams would help a bit more on static webpages than just embedded in the video learning.

Very good course on network. The thing I would have changed though is less video on the instructor and more on video or pictures of networking gear showing what they look like and how they perform in action. Maybe a data center tour as well.

This is a very conceptual course with not a lot of hands on activity compared to the others. Still, there's a lot of good information here, and if you buckle down and go through it, it lays a really good foundation for the rest of the courses.

Overall this was a good course but some of the subjects were extremely dense and could have used a bit more explanation. Additionally some of the videos used terminology that wasn't defined until later videos making things a little confusing.

This course is where you get to flex your brain. All the knowledge is not spoon fed and you will have to do the supplemental reading. I will be going back and reviewing the material because it is a lot to absorb in one run. Getting excited.

A lot of information. But I had issues with it continually saying network disconnected during quizzes and tests. Also there was issues with the test on IPv6 compression where the answers are wrong according to the reading and video lessons.

Great course, Lots of information covered. Would like to see more interactive scenes where you use your subnetting to actually set up networks and troubleshoot running commands to learn to use what the computer outputs in the command line.
