I loved this course. When I had issues support was awesome sauce. I really enjoyed the puns this instructor used to keep you from going off in a daze. I really wish I would have found Coursera sooner.

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.

It was a phenomenal introductory course. It's not something that'll make you a networking guru, but as I said...its an introductory course. You'll get ample understanding about the underlying internet infrastructure that us humans have built.

Very good course for beginners to learn about networking and how the internet works. Be prepared for a lot of technical terms to be passed out, and read or research each term for a better understanding of the subjects you would need to know.

The journey through this course was pretty taught even for me coming from an IT background. I learned so many valuable technical stuff I will need to become an IT support specialist and I am glad I am able to go through all these resourses.

The instructor was awesome and a genuine one. Even though its a bit frustrating how this lesson is hard because of daunting terms. The explanation of him and immersive actions is truly genuine. Which definitely impacts the motivation I have

This one was harder than the first session but I was able to get through it. I feel like I need a bit more practice. If we can start getting like more practice questions and models to reinforce more. As long as you focus you should do fine.

Great job on the course, I would shorten it a little bit since it's a bunch of information.

Some of the things learned aren't really needed for the day to day job but good to know.

Thanks for the dedication and hard work creating this course.

Entender sobre redes e como deixar tudo oorganizado de uma simples e eficaz, foi o principal conceito que aprendi neste módulo.

Com base neste conhecimento pude executar algumas atividades na empresa de uma forma organizada e bem planejada.

Definitely very techy and you really get into the nitty-gritty of all things to do with networking, but it was well worth it and I'm glad I took this course. Just make sure you have some coffee or something near you to keep you focused lol

It is a very complete course to start and understand concepts of network devices and network services, with an excellent presentation of each topic. It has given me a better perspective on the fields in IT, related to networks and security

Overall it was okay just a bit challenging. You will need time, lots of attention and patience to go through this course if you're just a beginner. You might have to watch some of the videos over and over again to really grasp some staffs.

Great course to invest your time into and learn something interesting. Some concepts are tricky at first but when you revisit it ones or twice you get it all. Had a great time learning and experiencing it all. Thank you Coursera and Google

Not overly in-depth on all subject matter concerning Networking, it gives a solid fundamental understanding of the concepts and operations. Prior to this course, I did not understand the depth of knowledge needed for Networking operations.

Victor Escobedo is an AMAZING instructor. There was a lot of complex information in this course, but he did an incredible job of breaking it down. My only criticism for the course is that the tests had some pretty bogus questions on them.

I am so happy with this training, when I am at the office or at home I imaging how the bits and bytes goes around the traffic in the router hahahaha, yes a more clear picture is taking place.

Great teachers and very concise topics. thanks.

The material is very easy for someone new to technology to understand. I was motivated throughout the course to continue learning and even played around a bit with my command line to test out some of the tools and concepts - great course!

Awesome training staff. That was a LOT of information and very hard if you've never beeon exposed to the fine details of networking. I enjoyed the challenge and did just fine. I feel well trained and ready to develop my skills over time.

Important Prompt questionnaire in the middle of each lesson/topic would be very helpful to keep students more engaged as this course is more packed with Lots of Information to digest especially for those who are beginners in the field.

We need more practical examples or ones we can do like in learning the transportation layer would be good with game diagrams of connectivity or fields to give us a more permanent memory than just the Glossary recall. It was good overall

The course is packed with information. I will be so excited when I begin to connect the dots as to how everything works together. It would be awesome if we could get a pdf or something tangible we could reference now and in the future.

It was pretty interesting to learn the in's and out's of computer networking. Some of the information I was familiar with but not with a lot of it. I know that the information provided will be very valuable to me in my future endeavors.
