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 harder than I anticipated, but I was able to revisit and reread the material until I understood it. I didn't think I was going to finish it. I am super proud of all of the things I learned.

This course answered many question I always wanted to find answers for related to networks. If you want to understand eveything about networking in the lowest level, then this course will help you a lot.

It was fine as an overview, but would be difficult to pass any kind of rigorous test with just that. You will need to study much more outside of the class to understand networking in-depth, as I plan to.

Fantastic course, finally dove deep enough to explain concepts I've only superficially understood for years, despite the college classes and even more focused certifications in networking I already have.
