A lot of information, but i feel like i fully understand core networking concepts. A lot of this info has helped me comprehend what will be required for me when I take my Network + certification exam.

I loved this course. When I had issues support was awesome sauce. I really enjoyed the puns this instructor used to keep you from going off in a daze. I really wish I would have found Coursera sooner.

Amazing instructor. Very useful course, although I was familiar with 60% of topics. But I never had any idea about how all they work together.

Networking is my steeze. Although subnetworking could use an easier explanation, I thought most of the course was informative and interesting.

It was very tasking. The graded tests were quite challenging, but more graded plug-ins would enable students have more hands-on experiences.

Pretty tough, but in depth. Wish there was some kind of router configuration exercises in here, but the concepts are really well explained.
