Great course. It is great for beginners and for people that may have forgotten a thing or two. The way it was taught makes it so much better than reading man pages or something else as dry and boring.

The course had some ups and downs, but it was a good challenge and I did it! I learned so much and I never knew I could do this kind of course. I have gained so much knowledge now from when I started.

The course is very well structured regarding its syllabus and order taught. I obtained a solid concrete educational background and also a strong basis to my already self taught IT skills.

I really loved this course!

Excellent course. Bunch of concepts but it was enough for an introductory course on computing networking. Basic concepts were introduced in an effective way and some exercises were good to understand those as well.

This course was rough! But only because my understanding of how computer networks work and the 5 layer model were limited. Great instruction and with enough time I was able to understand all of the concepts taught.

This course was a slog. A lot of memorization and note-taking. That being said, I feel like I have a much better understanding of the "under the hood" processes of networking that other resources have glossed over.

Networking is a lot more than just connecting to a wireless signal. This course you will dig into all the aspects of networking. Pay close attention to the sub netting and IP. And try to wrap your head around IPv6.

This course did a great job and explaining the concepts and the practice quizzes made all the difference for the final exam as well. Not to mention help you understand where your weaknesses about the concepts are.

Although obviously many of the topics were not coverd in extensive detail, what is really good to know is precisely what Google, the most significant entity on the web, thinks one needs to know for a career in IT.

The Course was great, Victor Escobedo was special, even in the dull moments he made the course come alive. You might feel you don't understand, just go back, he explains everything in great detail. Thanks Google.

Fantastic experience. I needed a quick intro to networking and after several unsuccessful attempts I found your course. I loved it! It concisely presented the relevant information in a very structure's manner.

Had a lot of content and although not difficult it was a lot to absorb for one course. Over all the course was great, but it would've be nice to see different instructors instead of the same person all the time.

Bite-sized, very well explained videos. Learned a lot. Just a piece of advice: don't get caught up in some minor bugs, typos, or logical mistakes the team made along the way. ;) The content is still pretty good!

A challenging course due to the amount of information presented but very informative.

It is probably best to break the learning up into small amounts every day and not try to do an entire lesson in one sitting.

Very well structured course. All the topics have been arranged in a way that makes it easy to understand how the technologies work with one another.

The instructor also made it fun to stick around for the course.

I absolutely loved this course. It inspired me to want to dive deeper into networking. It has opened my eyes and mind to many opportunities I never thought possible without a traditional 4-year college degree.
