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.

Great overview of the technical aspects of networking that, once again, started from the very "I know nothing basics" and moved to more advanced topics at a rate that this beginner could keep up with.

The information was great. I learned a lot of valuable IT information. I just do not like the peer review grade as much, because I feel as if I have to wait for someone to grade my work, before I can complete the course.

I feel there were opportunities to go more in-depth with specific examples, but overall I feel like I have a good general understanding of how computer networks function and could explain those concepts to a layperson.

The quizzes were hard, I had to go over the material several times. It helped to read up on the material outside of the course. They don't exactly emphasize what material is going to be on a quiz, but I did learn a lot.

Far superior instruction and education compared to Technical Support Fundamentals. Docked a star as one or two of the quizzes require reading outside of the class material. Linux sysops will still find this easy though.

Some more graphics and key terms would have improved the course. The random tidbits that you are quizzed on got a little annoying but overall I feel like it was a fair assessment of the material covered in this course.

Difficult, but pretty well explained. The only problem is there are quiz questions that aren't directly answered but very much read between the lines of the videos kind of deal. Overall, pretty great experience though.

Honestly, I had a really hard time focusing on these videos. They seemed especially dull. However, once I realized I could read along and discovered I could even highlight notes, I absorbed the information much better.

I learned in this course about computer communication protocol, OSI networking model, subnetting, routing, firewall, DNS, DHCP, VPN, WAN, wireless networking, IPv4, IPv6, the cloud, and troubleshooting network problem.

An excellent primer in TCP/IP protocols and the basics of how networking and the internet work. Some of the quiz modules are a little wonky but overall the subject matter is presented in an easy to understand fashion.

A lot of information to digest. I kinda feel like some of it stuck while some of it didn't. I'd like to see more application units as they help tie the theory to the use in a job setting. Otherwise, really good stuff!

This was definitely a difficult topic. There is so much to networking but focusing and putting in the time really paid off. My head did spin a few times but doing some extra searching and reading help set it straight,

The course is good I am very pleased by the opportunity to learn from it, but could provide more pratical exercise due its complexity, like to simulate network topology in order to imitate computer network , Cheers

The information in this course is so integral in the IT world but I am so glad it is over it was not my strong suit but I enjoyed the challenge and am at the same time so grateful that I got through it in one piece.

Course was great I gave it a 4 star only because there were a couple of exercises in 2 quizes that I think would have benefited me if they put them in the smaller quizzes too and not the "final one". Overall 4 1/2.

There is an assignment at the end of the 3rd module that is intense I wish the 3rd module which was the most intense module in the entire class was a little more hands on. I had to brush up a lot to complete it.

I liked the course, but it is a lot of information crammed into what seems to be a small amount of time. While I managed to get through the material it will require me going through it again to have better grasp.

This was definitely a difficult course but it felt good to really get to dive deep into how this stuff works. The videos were incredibly informative and the graded assignments really helped cement that knowledge.

Please replace Qwiklabs with something more reliable. Half the time I had to re-do the labs because even though I did the right steps, it didn't register or grade it. The content was great but the labs were awful.

Good; very informative however the way things were explained was too particular. It almost seems like they expect everyone to think similarly. Perhaps add different ways of perspective when explaining a concept.

I don't give 5 stars because there is some mistakes in quizzes like questions repeated and I submitted the mistake long time ago and not corrected yet and no response from support.

But I learned lots of things.

Quite technical but maintains your interest. I was lost on the subnetting though and I'll put that down to me. I get the basic concept but if I was tasked with setting up subnet masks, I'd be getting docked pay

The instructions are pretty good. I like the examples used in the course, and they really help to clarify things. However, the quizzes and assignments are not very good, just somethings testing the memorization.

This course was amazingly beneficial. The content was in depth and very interesting. I think sometimes it moved a little too quickly and may have been intended for someone with more background knowledge than me.

The videos could have been more engaging. It was obvious the instructor was rote reading from prompts. It would have been more interesting to have had varied instructors like with the first Fundamentals course.

This part of the course was hard, having worked in the filed some years back and forgetting most of what i learned, this course became difficult in certain parts but i managed to get most of my knowledge back..
