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.

A lot of information, but i feel like i fully understand core networking concepts. A lot of this info has helped me comprehend what will be required for me when I take my Network + certification exam.

There was a ton of fundamental concepts covered in this networking course. Learned a lot of things interactively with difficult quiz options and graded plugins. Looking forward for the O.S course.

This was a challenging but rewarding course on the basics of networking. I feel like I am walking away from this course as a more confident candidate for a role in the IT world. Thank you, Google!

One of the best online learning course for Computer Networking. All important aspects of how computer communicates to each other are explained thoroughly like you're talking to a Grade 3 student.

This course was informative and I learn a lot of information about networking that I didn't study in school. It also refreshed my memory about things I had learned but have not used in some time.

Of the 2 Courses, this is by far the most dense, exhausting, humbling, and entertaining so far. Kudos to Google and the staff on this one. It was a lot in a little time, but excellent overview.

I'd recommend this class to anyone, with the understanding that it is more of an "overview" course to highlight important concepts and that it won't turn you into a SysAdmin or Network Engineer.

This course was brilliant. It was incredibly technical, but it was explained in a very easy to understand manner, with repetition of key items throughout the course. Totally worth doing though.
