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.

Muito bom o curso me consolidou varias conceitos que já havia aprendido na faculdade, um pouco mais complexo que o primeiro curso do programa, porém é super importante conhecermos os fundamentos da rede e como ela funciona.

The content in this course was terrific in detailing the information with regards to how data sent across networks. I would have liked a bit more trouble shooting course work or assignments to really test our new knowledge.

This is a great course that really broke things down in a way that was very helpful for me to understand in a more detailed way. I really appreciate those details and just the overall thoroughness of this class. Thank you!

Excellent, well structured introduction into networks. As an experienced business analist, there was still a lot to learn - well suited to create a spill over effect once you move along the ladder towards IT architecture.

This was a very interesting course and also a super complicated one at the same time. I've got many new knowledge about networking and many more things that concerns it. Overall, this is a very useful course for beginners.

This is an amazing course. I am in the Google Certifcate program, and while Networking has not been my strongest, or favorite portion. I am excited that I now have a little more knowledge about the "magic" of my network.

This was really dense material, but the instructor unpacked and explained it with skill and patience. I feel like I got more out of this course than I expected to. Very practical and very cool stuff. Thanks google team!

Lots of great information surrounding the basics of networking. Don't get too frustrated with topics such as subnetting, it will come with time and don't forget to supplement this learning with other resources as well. :D

This was a lot of material and I'd love to dive in deeper, especially on some of those concepts that didn't quite stick. But as far as an overview of this massive subject, I applaud this course and its lovely instructor.

Really well designed course that moves quite intuitively from the most basic physical devices needed to establish an internet connections, all the way through the complexities of the full networking model and its layers.

This course is not easy. I already have basic knowledge of networks and have to rewatch most of this course to absorb the information and understand it. Jam packed with good information. Thanks for putting this together.

SOOOOOO much information!!! It's definitely a lot of memorization of key terms that make up Part 2 of 6.It's very interesting to learn HOW computers work together at blazing speeds to allow us to surf the web seamlessly.

There was a TON of information. I found listening to the lectures a few times definitely helped the concepts stick. Also the project of explaining the 5 layer network REALLY solidified what I had learned in that section.

The course was thorough. I recommend picking up a related hobby if you don't work in a related field. There's so much to learn I could hardly hold on to the knowledge. It is manageable and the videos are well organized.

Amazing course!!!

Still in shock of how great this course is!!!

It really opened my eyes and helped me to understand in depth of how computer networking works, and also taught me new commands to use while troubleshooting.

This part of the course was challenging. The material was a bit technical at times. I found it helpful to research some of the topics offline and that allowed me to follow along better with the topics being discussed.
