This was really time-consuming but it was really worth learning. Although in the end, it seems to be very basic things, they would be essential through whatever you want to accomplish in the IT field.

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.

So much information is packed into this course it absolutely blows my mind. Seriously, I feel like I just got out of some semester-long Networking basics course. Also, I think my brain needs a brief rest now...

This was an awesome intro to beginner course in networking that is way easier to digest than some of the vendor programs about networking. CISCO could take a page from you guys on how to present their material.

The course is really informative but I wish we could get sometimes a little bit more information, and recommendations on books for studying.

But besides that, it is a great course and I can really recommend it!

This was a great review for my upcoming Network + exam. The testing is not rigorous enough to make this course of any significant value but it is basically free so it is a great study tool and worth the time.

This has been the most challenging so far, but I am sure there is a lot more ahead that will also allow me to realize my potential. I am looking forward to the next course: Operating Systems & You with Cindy.

Tons of information about the tools you've used before but never really realized just how interconnected everything is/was. I really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about the various bits and bytes!

This course is truly amazing, It really gives the foundation of how the computer network is and explain concepts that are somehow difficult to grasp in a very friendly way.

I am loving this series of courses.

It was a well-balanced course from a technical and information load perspective. Week 4 Networking Services was the toughest part of the course as it provided a lot of new information in networking overview.

Some of the questions seem a little irrelevant and It would be nice to have some more diagrams in to videos. I learn much better visually and find it hard to understand this complex topic just buy listening.

You learn a lot on this module, sometimes the course might not explain something in a lot of detail because there is a lot to cover but doing some research of your own to fill in those gaps goes a long way.

This was a hard lesson for me because I am a hands on type learner, and trying to put all this together in my head was hard, but I was able to do it, and now I feel more confident in what am I shooting for.
