Apply yourself to these terms and concepts and you will gain knowledge that is presented in a very understandable way. Watch and rewatch the course videos and I promise it will all start making sense!

Great overview of the technical aspects of networking that, once again, started from the very "I know nothing basics" and moved to more advanced topics at a rate that this beginner could keep up with.

This was a lot of material and difficult in some ways to digest. I strongly recommend going back and watching the videos again.

Solid bit of knowledge. I had issues with some exams that didn't want to work properly and weren't given good instructions on.

This was a great course for the most part. There were a few of the activities that were hard to complete based on the lessons.

que sea tan tecnico a veces lo hace enredado de entender, pero con dedicacion y muchi cuidado se le puede sacar mucho provecho

There was a lot of information and new concepts introduced in this course. I wish there had been more interactive activities.

Overall pretty good but kind of skimpy on actually using a computer to fix problems. More like just a bunch of info to learn.

A more detailed description of how to convert IPv6 to shorthand would be a benefit. It look me a long time to figure it out.

Learned a lot of things about networking that I didn't know before. The interactive modules on the quizzes are a bit unclear.

Really good course, great videos and clear info! Still the peer reviewed assignments are a disaster. They should be optional.

This one was a lot more challenging for some items I wish they broke it down a little more so it would be easier to follow.

Not all of the final quiz questions are worded to where what was said in the lessons provide a straight answer. Only a few.

I wished there was some way to wrap up all the knowledge in order to grasp a little bit better how the concepts intertwined

Very well made and informative course. It is very challenging at times and has a few bugs but overall all it was fantastic.

Good course, some more time could have been spent in explaining and breaking down examples of subnetting and subnet masks.

reading the ip address 1 by 1 is not the good for me it takes long and it's just a number why take so long to reading that

I pretty much taught myself how to route and subnet. Otherwise, there were some decently explained lessons in this course.

Initially the course started with a slow pace and was quite dry but gradually it became very catchy and quite interesting.

It's very hard to understand as a beginner. The topic is very complex. The speakers are all great and easy to understand.
