That was a great lesson. I learn so much about Networking and Storage. I can't wait to see what the next course bring.
I enjoyed the first few weeks of this course but then, the latter topics were a bit ambiguous. The course videos didn't feel like a 'beginner' or an 'intermediate' level, they felt advanced.
Another thing I didn't like about this course is the method of grading for the peer reviewed assignment. I wasn't graded properly in this peer reviewed assignment which made me fail the assignment wrongfully. To make the grading process accurate, I feel it would be better for the instructors to also assess and analyse what the students reviewed to check if they were fair in the grading. It's not nice to be wrongfully failed in an assignment.

Need more explanation for beginners to understand.
This course was very thorough and detailed yet easy to comprehend! The way everything was sequenced makes it easy to compartmentalize the complex subject matter to avoid mixing up topics and getting confused by the extensive terminology. Notably, the course introduced me to several concepts that were new to me and helped bridge the gap to a much more firm foundation in networking. Above all, this course has given me much improved confidence in my understanding of networking essentials by reinforcing my knowledge of the topics that I already had a decent grasp of while solidifying others, leaving me with a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
The class was very detailed and organized. At times, I wish I had taken in a traditional manner because of the complexity of some of the topics. However, overall, I found it effective and I enjoyed it.
Thank you for the opportunity to a part of so many learners of this course. It will me a lot and I share the knowledge I gained. Great video presentations and superb overall work from the Team.
This is an awesome course that provides hands-on and detailed information on managing network services as well as storage devices
