Even though it took a bit long to complete this network course, it was every insightful and as I've managed to get a little bit of knowledge about network and network security.

I had to do this while sick and injured...BRUTAL. But this course WILL teach you the working skills of it. Just make sure to know how to set up your computer when you go to work and you're good.

Do Not Take this class nor Google Cybersecurity Certificate program, because you will not be able to complete Class 4 Module 2, because you will be locked out of the 5 assignments in Module 2 and when you click on the link to do them, you will get a message that says "Sorry, Not Authorized For This Resource" and the page will lock you out so you can not do the assignments. You will waste an incredible amount of time and when you report the broken links, you will get a series of repetitive and redundant suggestions from an AI bot on how to get he broken resources to work. None of these suggestions work and only AI will respond, so you are screwed and can not finish the 4thlcass of this certificate program. Since the first two classes are twice as long as the other classes, you will have literally done over half of the required work, before finding out you can not complete the certificate program!! Shame on Google and double shame on Coursera for allowing Google to have a class and certificate program that do not allow access to finish Class 4 and the certificate program. Grade F -

Good course if you learn by definitions but horrible for learning hands on! You get zero hands on learning. It's all definition based learning! I give it one star. Nothing but videos and glossary based learning, no real time hands on stuff here!
