Most courses are filled with mistakes and errors, the modules don't work well, the information is outdated, and annoying jokes and liberal politics are forced on the student. This course should in no way be labelled as preparation for the CompTIA A+ exam. In information and conciseness, this course is far worse than Professor Messer's free YouTube series. The only thing this is good for really is the badge and credential, though I'm still not sure how much benefit this provides.

although the course is good the ipv6 compression quiz has not worked for three days. I get a confirmation that I have compressed all 10 addresses correctly but when I submit the quiz, it says I have 0 correct. It is a required quiz and you do not get credit for the course until you successfully pass the quiz. Other students are having the same issue. I have submitted 4 trouble tickets for that issue but I have had no response and it is still not working

hate learning networking on this course, most of the videos has a guy explaining stuff without any visual presentation or drawing/figures, just talking and talking. I keep losing focus and getting lost. even on some presentations and drawing they don't point out with a curser or something so you have to really focus on which point he is taking about. I have to repeat each video many times. poor job on Networking so far.

I gave my all, and took all the notes that would benefit me. Which led me to writing and writing yet not understanding what I was laying down on paper. Wish the instructor's would share this vital information to all of us that this is brand new in every aspect. "Layman Term" would have been essential to every student. I don't like giving up on things i set my mind to. This course is complicated for first timers!

I found this course difficult and discouraging. I felt that there was just way too much information being presented at one time. Even if I wanted to take notes and do small sections at a time, it wouldn't help me due to some of the topics and information were all over the place and not broken down enough for me to understand. I had to seek out YouTube & Udemy videos to get a better understanding of concepts.

Lots of mistakes in the course, the ones that were fixed are not incorporated into the course very well. When you get an answer wrong on a test it tells you to review the area the information was but half the time its wrong and you have to dig for the info you need. Alot of the vidoes have unnecessary talking, just give the info I need and not try to make me laugh. I am here to learn not have fun.

Very VERY outdated. You will learn pretty much nothing in this course. The quizzes ask questions that are not important so you find yourself taking notes on things that don't matter in anticipation of the quiz. Lots of history of things that are not relevant. Just all around disappointing. Uses complex explanations for simple objectives. Be prepared to research things on your own.

The first part started off great! Now I have started on week one of module two and every time I take week 1 test I receive a zero! Statistically there is no way I wouldn't get at least one right! I know some of them were correct but the format seems off and now I am locked out. Once this matter is resolved I will give a better rating but as of now it is ZERO stars!

Its just non stop talking , no interactions. As a beginner there were a ton of verbage used that I had to non stop google and youtube for definitions and examples. You can't assume I know what nodes are and etc, I rather use this as an outline and youtube the topics for better a understanding. I like that this point you in a direction that you may want to go in.

Information is explained very poorly, have to go to outside resources to get information in a more in depth way. Information feels is glossed over very quickly and that same information is asked again in the reviews despite hardly touching up on them if at all. Ive had better teachers from FREE Youtube videos than this PAID course.

It is just a primer. This will get you a job in the chat-box helping people perhaps. Very unhappy worst $40 I ever spent. I have had zero job responses even from employers since taking this course. If Coursera can find me a job in this field granted the chat-box is all it qualifies you for then I will re-write this review.

Extremely buggy. If you do a project completely right it will still mark it inorrect and make you do it again. Having the right answers will not help you if the assignment is programmed incorrectly. Even after furiously googling the bugs and how to get around them, the workaround solutions don't always work.

don't even bother with this course. There's a glitch with IPv6 compression graded assesment which will always give you 0% even if you give all the correct answers and you won't be able to complete this course or get a certificate. Really feels bad considering this is provided by google.Pathetic!

The courses truly are an expensive version of free information you can find online, there was no additional value that any of these courses offered than any other learning outlet would have.

It is seriously putrid that that any of these courses are being lauded as a worthwhile endeavor.

If I could give this course negative stars I would. It's all because of the quiz at the end, IPv6 compression. I've probably tried this quiz at least 8 times already and even though I have all of the correct answers it says 0%, try again and failed. It ruined the entire course for me.

Too many mistakes by the instructor. Really difficult to grasp concepts when Coursera has to correct erroneous information given by the instructor. Google really need to re-record a few of these modules. Can't believe I have to go to YouTube to get a better explanation.

I was only able to complete the course because I already had expertise in the topics covered, which are horribly rushed here. In some key passages (e.g. the explanation of tcp/ip layers) the explanations are so sloppy that it is essential to study outside of Coursera.

I really need this, but your education materials are so poor and confusing and boring, I really don't understand why Google sells this horrible material at a $39-month subscription, maybe they need to hire a Youtuber to produce something better!

It was very hard to follow and I feel you needed to have already basic knowledge of the material if not more. Things are not explained in-depth. The information is just kind of read to you without much explaination.

I did not learn anything practical in this course. It was all about memorization and test taking, but didn't teach me how to apply any of the information in a functional way in real-life support situations.

Whoever created this program and lessons should honestly off themselves. this is such an awful class and course. There's a reason the participation rates drop by over 80% from the first course to this one

The worst course I have seen. It is just filled with plain theoretic knowledge that doesn't provide any real life benefit in an IT support job. It would be better to provide some practical skills instead.

There is a quiz in week 6 that is bugged at the moment and you cannot pass. You cant complete the course without passing that quiz and you cant get your certificate without finishing the that course

Accessing the graded assessments was a nightmare, with completely wrong login instructions for the Windows section in Qwiklabs, as many other users have also noted. A very poorly structured course.

With this much dense material covered, you'd expect more visual aids rather than an instructor looking you straight in the eyes for 3 minutes straight dishing out jargons every other second.
