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.

I think a lot of the concepts here need to broken down even more if we want to understand networking better. This only touched the surface, and I feel like I needed more information.

A little heavy on the OSI model. I first learned this stuff around 20 years ago and can honestly say that I've never specifically needed to know which layer something might be found!

A lot more detailed information about the internet and networking works. It was challenging and a lot of information. The training increased my respect and awe that it works so well.

This was a very difficult course, but a strong learning experience. There were a few tough assignments that I felt needed more information to support them. Overall still pretty good.

Good course with a lot of technical detail and helpful animations. I would have liked more hands-on practice. Overall, positive experience and I learned a lot of useful information.

a lot of condensed topic are mention maybe in 15 second and the last time of multiple video, we should more concentrate on it besides turn out the supplemental reading into a video

Most of this information was accurate and well laid out, however, a fair chunk of time was spent outlining outdated and unused features that will rarely be delt with in actuality

Good course overall, Viktor is amazing, but I really didn't like graded assessments as sometimes they were really disconnected from the content and some questions were very vague.

Great course! Some of the graded work was tough, but good information. I didn't give it a 5/5 just because some of the graded material wouldn't load and/or a bit hard to control.

This was a great course! Clear and concise, I just wish there were more interactive sections for networking and troubleshooting to get more of a visual idea of how things work.

This course is amazing. you will learn basic to moderate knowledge of networking. but this course is full of theory. some more practical and real world videos may help beginners.

Great course and instructors!

You may have to fix some of the glitches people were encountering when taking the graded exams! Or maybe they were part of the challenge :)

Thank you!

There are code issues in the answers versus the questions in IPV6 compression quiz. A few answers do not match what is taught in the course, This needs to be thoroughly examined.

I really, really liked when there were random "pop up" quizzes. This helped me focus on the reading. I like that there was video and transcripts of the video on the same page.

Great information to dive into !!! It can be a bit overwhelming, I needed to take multiple breaks and refresh on every subject. It is in great detail. Couldn't get any better.

A really interesting course, although I was disappointed cause there were technical issues when it comes to the 6th week's quiz. I had to submit it 4 times to accept my grade.

Really good course. Only thing is there was a lot of videos and not a lot of putting in the work to understand it as well. I personally learn better by doing and not watching.

The course on basic networking was a bit tough to understand. Lot of terms for beginners to memorize and as there are less hands on sessions, one may feel the course too long.

Only reason I am marking it down a star is due to multiple graded assessments being in a different language. Other that that, it was a very thorough and informational course.

This course allows us to know about the communication between computers through networks.

Skeptically described and quite easy to understand someone who is new to this course.

Some stuff could be explained better and slower, also more examples would help a lot of us trying to understand everything that's taught in this course. So much abstraction.

While the information was a lot to process at times. I thoroughly enjoyed the instructors enthusiasm. As it helped me to stay focused, and got me excited about the material.
