Reviewed May 22, 2023I 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.

Reviewed Mar 7, 2024This 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.
