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.

Overall it is a very solid course, but there are a few holes in the material. The graded assignments at the end of touched on topics and details that were not covered in the provided lessons and required outside sources for completion.

Such a good course. Very clear and well done. But some of the graphics had minor errors that weren't acknowledged, and it's unclear whether some of the assessments had a small number of inaccuracies or vagueness that led to confusion.

This course can be very dry, but a lot of that has to do with the subject matter; this is very technical heavy and not so much skill based. This course required a lot of re-watching videos for me. Overall good, just a lot to take in.

It really covered a lot of topics, but I just hope that it can provide more hands-on exercises or some real-world examples, like making a video showing how each layer in TCP/IP model works and how to troubleshoot a real-world problem.

very informative, i felt like there was a lot less emphasis on helping people understand and just more on the info. i still learned a lot but i wish there was more real life applications like in the labs that were in the first lesson

Very good. That being said, I am a very good note taker yet some of the quiz questions,I believe were not covered in the videos or the supplemental reading. This is a minority of the questions yet it is annoying. It could be me.

This course is very long and draining! Definitely need lemon juice or coffee to get through this along with time to process all the information. But overall I think it is pretty cool and broken into nice "byte" size portions (LOL)

Course helped to understand basic terminologies and made my basics clear but it

must also include somewhat practical application of these terms in network troubleshooting

as well as other day to day understandings.Overall its nice

Strong course, helped me a lot but it was quite difficult comparing to the previous one. I feel like sometimes goes too much into details before giving you the big picture, but anyhow , if you put the time, you are going to learn.

I really enjoyed the course. There were many things to learn and a few were challenging but it was absolutely worth it. There's the feeling of knowing what's going on behind the scenes with activities that users take for granted.

The graded Plugins were all in Russian, making it a trial and error guessing game, but the content was very in depth for how networking works on a basic level. I can't wait to see how these evolve into us managing these aspects.

My only issue is that when I was taking the IPv6 Compression quiz I had a lot of issues with confirming answers until I did some reading where there's some sort of a glitch with the answers. PLEASE fix that for future students.

It hard topic to begin with but overall it had help me understand how networking work. The good thing is having a forum to look up the problem to fix the issues overall trying to test the function as well is the best experience

yes the course is technical , but it would be really helpful to try an implement more visual learning for the user since the classes can be such data dumps at times and the user can get overwhelmed by the steady stream of info.

Its a perfect course with great course content. I would have given it 5 starts but because of the repeated issues I had with the graded assessments (which shown in Russian languages instead of English), otherwise it's perfect.

Although dense, for the most part, it did a good job of getting concepts across. However, there were instances of assessments focusing on material I would consider tertiary to the main subject, which slowed the process down.

Some of the videos were very tedious when it came to reading off lists of IPs. Not sure if this was to accommodate those who weren't watching the videos or not, but to someone watching the video it gets frustrating at times.

There was a lot of good information and I learned a lot. I only whish that there was more application activities so I could apply what I learned in the lessons. I think that would help those of us who learn better by doing.

Some of the more technical explanations were a little difficult to understand and could have been explained in a more user friendly fashion, otherwise great course and very informative as to the complexities of the internet.

I wish I could had the opportunity to practice with hands on labs. Since the information of this course is very complex it is important to give the opportunity to the learner dto practice while they are learning new concepts

super extensively, a lots of info.. only issue, in my expirience is that we dont have ''this is important, write it down'' part, so when i fail my exam, i need to go trough all, all over again and its taking time and energy

Week 2 and 3 were extremely difficult because of the technical content, and I sometimes found it easier to pause the video and read the text material instead. More visuals would have facilitated understanding of the content

I liked the course a lot, I would have liked maybe a bit more information about subnetting, and subnet masks in particular, otherwise everything was very well explained and I appreciate all the diagrams, they do help a lot.
