I enjoyed this course more than the others since beginning the Google Cybersecurity Certification. It covers a lot of information, but makes it very digestible to the average person.

It's basically the same as online college. Them talking at you and a whole bunch of reading, which you'll eventually forget. No hands-on practice at all

Simply amazing, just LOTS of resources and new information. Couldn't have asked for a better explanation to be honest. Felt overwhelming sometimes but I loved every detail about this one!

These were all new concepts for me, and the teachers at Google did a great job breaking down the concepts and putting them into bite-sized pieces so I could understand and learn them.

A LOT of theory a bit to little practices IMO, they just throw you in, and "solve this", without properly guiding you, could be improved.

Great teacher tho, explains everything neatly.

The course was very boring, could not understand much, no hands on experience just writing a documenting stuffs. I really did not understand what was that exemplars activity was about without guiding nicely.

Severely lacks depth. Lacks hands-on element.

This course is the most formal education about networks and network security. Other courses from different organizations teach a lot but they are not as formal as they need to be. This can be greatly important for interview preparations as well as learning the core concepts about networking at a foundational level.

Sweet and straight to the point , content is good, some assignment could be made more interactive than just text and jarring text to read . but otherwise you learn a lot

I gave this course only 3 stars due to it being extremely overwhelming. It was really long and a lot of information to review.

really antiquated exploration of DOS attacks

No hands-on experience

The course and instructors are great but I hate networking

Google's Cybersecurity Specialisation Course 3 was challenging as expected. However the content was good in covering the following concepts for beginners:

-Network components/devices/diagrams

-TCP/IP model, OSI model

-IPv4 vs IPv6 components

-firewall/VPN/subnet/CIDR

-types of network attacks, DDoS

-OS hardening techniques

-network hardening techniques (such as where to place firewall, intrusion detection or prevention systems IDS/IPS in a network and visualised using example network diagrams)

Very lengthy and complex to understand but all aspects are covered very precisely and effectively to manage network protocols and assess threats while practicing security methods.

Had a mesmerizing and fun experience doing this course as it makes networks fundamentals strong and crisp to remember.

I am truly satisfied with the available lectures and also reading section of the course which strengthen concepts in more detail. Thanks a lot GOOGLE for launching such fascinating and amazing course.

Like guiding through network and security elements ... fast. Challenging and rich in content but not going into too deep. The following courses in the certificate will delve deeper, I imagine.

I am happy that I am able to learn and grow my education on my time of study is a amazing feeling. Its a spectacular offer to not be interested and further your education. Thank you Coursera

One of the best courses,great content and I have gained alot through this course.

many practical skills like report writing were included that i liked the most

Excellent content and well delivered instructions

Great review of security hardening practices.

They did a god job of covering these topics.

This was a great course, but I felt like it assumed that you would have a baseline of understanding in the field already. There were a sizable number of acronyms and jargon words I needed to look up outside the course in order to understand the lessons. It would be great if there was an interactive tool we could use to get brief definitions or examples of key terms while we were reading, perhaps by mousing over or clicking on a word.

a lot of information. i wish there were more visuals with this to help bring this information home more.
