This was really time-consuming but it was really worth learning. Although in the end, it seems to be very basic things, they would be essential through whatever you want to accomplish in the IT field.

This course was amazing and helped me understand so much more about networking, things I never thought I would know or understand. Very fulfilling and I can't wait to use this knowledge going forward.

This was by-far the best course in the professional certificate program. The instructor sold the material, had a great personality and I felt like I picked up a lot of knowledge along the way.

I got so much to learn, I understood why things work the way the are n all. But it was all difficult, I wish they would've taught better by using non too much technical language and animations

The course is great.However, all important points are just being spoken. It could have been more efficient to just let us read through the course. Cuz i am mostly relying on the transcripts.

I really enjoyed the course. It was differently more difficult then into class. lol

I wish there were more training and labs on troubleshooting. It seemed to just brush over troubleshooting.

It was full of new info and tons of details about networking. maybe those information would be much easier to understand if they were put in a certain scenario but overall it was fanatastic

This course was a tough one but very rewarding in the understanding of network communications. Be sure to take enough time to understand the different components and how they work together!

This course is not for the faint of heart. It's hard, and highly recommends some additional reading to get through. That being said, it is an excellent section and I learned a lot from it.

WHATA TIME!,

every bit and byte was explained really well

although sometimes it was a bit difficult to follow along but overall it felt great to be a part of such a great learning journey.

A lot of information as expected. I wish there were more hands-on or how-to with some of the topics but overall a good introduction. I hope to obtain more skills in the following lessons.

Good course, my only critique is that not enough time is spent on the IPv4 routing and subnetting. That's a big component of the A+ exam I'll be taking after I finish the complete course.

this course was extremely difficult. I had a lot of times where things went over my head and it seemed a bit haze, but I stayed the course. I definitely learned a lot more in this course.

If you would have included some Access control list topics and some Stimulative examples for understanding that would have been great waoooo... Thank you for valuable time and info bro...

Hard course so far. A lot of new concepts and tools. A lot of conceptual material but really useful. Definetely need to review and do more research about this subject as I keep learning.

The course was fine until I got to the IPV6 Compression Quiz. It wouldn't let me pass even though I was getting the questions right. But once it was finally fixed, things were smoother.

This course was very informative and took a lot of hard work to complete. I would definitely recommend it for anyone new to computers who want to further their education in this field.

over all I have a better understanding of what the IT support people I have talked to over the years. Once I have real world experience I will have a better grasp what I have learned.

Some of the terminology end methods used in this differ from other organizations like Comptia, but the course was good for providing an abstracted, baseline understanding of networking.

Very technical with a lot of detail that one has to pay attention to., especially the network part. Still, well worth it and learned a lot abut networking during this specific course.

Lack of visual Aids or Graphical Explanation

Explanation needs to be more Graphical or consist of more visual aids which smooths the transition of understanding in some critical topics

Good course but they don't explain some of the new concepts as thoroughly as they did in the first course of the specialization so some of the concepts may require more outside study.

Very technical, and the delivery was quite fun and filled with Jokes and puns that made it a lot more enjoyable. A very tough course but very well rounded and informative. Thank you!

Course is awesome, learned so many new details. Wish there was a way to do some lab/hands on training on commands and real life outputs. Similar to labs done in 1st module of course.
