    what an amazing course, so much information and yet so easy to understand, would recommend going over a few of the videos and supplemental reading a few times, take the time needed, it'll be worth it.

    This course is mind-blowing. I learnt so much that I had to go over the videos again and again cos it was interesting all the way. The course would make you want to go practical and I am truly happy for demystifying each topic on the Bits and Bytes of Computer Networking.

    Really well presented and everything taken step-by-step to build up an understanding of the technologies involved. My first time diving into this area and has really wet my appetite. Happy to recommend for those trying to get a better understanding of computer networking.

    It was a very informative and nicely paced course.

    The occasional jokes made by the instructor were extremely bad and cringy :) but they were one of the things which kept me focussed throughout the course.

    the big amount of graded and ungraded assignments were very helpful.

    Victor was very professional and was extremely helpful in guiding me through challenging concepts. I took the course twice, and it significantly improved my understanding of networking, which has always been a challenge for me. Thank you, Google, and thank you, Victor.

    Learned lot that I didn't know. Course was presented effortlessly. It encourages to study, research, learn independently as it doesn't cover everything. I hope my brain is absorbent enough with 4 kids & full time demanding job to memorize, practice and grow. Pray for me!

    Very informative and very helpful and I wish to learn more from the respected teachers and my fellow learners too, I want and have urged to learn more in the upcoming lessons, keeping in mind not to offend anyone in this process of learning. Have a nice day & stay safe.

    This was a very helpful course! I thought I used to have a relatively good understanding about networking but my after completing this I realize my knowledge was very basic before! Thank you for covering networking in depth, to the point, and keeping it interesting!!! <3

    Technical and challenging but I never felt more confident in the knowledge I've gained from it all. I recommend to supplement this course with your own research, you will not only gain a deeper understanding, you'll also feel like a pro by the time you finish the course.

    Very technical and semi-difficult concepts to grasp. I feel like this is very intense for a 2nd Course within the 6 Course program, but this is still a good course to go through and make sure you get a great understanding of networks and the Internet, among other things.

    Very in depth but had to use other resources to really hone the knowledge required to understand exactly what was being talked about but pointed me in the right direction and spent a lot of time understanding this and at the end, I did learn and gain a lot of knowledge.

    The course was definitely challenging, but being able to understand the overall from the foundational aspect helped me through this course. I think if the course can provide more hands on examples and visualization I feel I would be able to grasp the concepts quicker.

    I feel a huge sense of accomplishment after making it through the networking course. Google/Coursera take a lot of really challenging topics and break them into bite-sized pieces that allow you to build a foundation for learning more. I look forward to the next course!

    Kudos to Victor, he did a very great job in teaching this very technical course, he was very articulate, interactive and engaging. The course lay out was very easy to follow. I had no background in IT and I learned so much about and passed Computer Networking. Wohoo!!!

    This is a really awesome course, it definitely is a lot more in depth than I originally thought it would be. Being more in depth made it somewhat more difficult as I thought I knew a lot more than I actually did. Very interesting and I definitely recommend this course.

    Tons of information about networking fundamentals here. The info will catch you by surprise if you're not ready. Review as much as needed, and study to understand the concepts of how things work instead of just trying to memorize is my recommendation to any beginners.

    I learn overall about the Internet working, even though I remember. I will relearn this lesson as long as I get through all of the lesson, because i want to have a overview about this lesson first and everything good thing will be learn for a few times to remember it.

    This was a really intensive six weeks but the course presenters helped break it all down and help me learn what was required. I do not have a strong networking background but I have found that I'm more interested in this aspect of the field than I had once believed.

    This is a jampacked technical course but still digestible for stay-at-home moms like me who do not have computer science backgrounds. I highly recommend it, even if all you want to do is organize your own network at home. Be prepared to study smart and to work hard.

    Awesome course. The supplemental readings are you friend as this course takes you head first into A LOT of information. It will weed out those who aren't committed to the specialization. I learned a ton in this course and can't wait to continue. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
