The course was definitely challenging, but being able to understand the overall from the foundational aspect helped me through this course. I think if the course can provide more hands on examples and visualization I feel I would be able to grasp the concepts quicker.

I feel a huge sense of accomplishment after making it through the networking course. Google/Coursera take a lot of really challenging topics and break them into bite-sized pieces that allow you to build a foundation for learning more. I look forward to the next course!

Kudos to Victor, he did a very great job in teaching this very technical course, he was very articulate, interactive and engaging. The course lay out was very easy to follow. I had no background in IT and I learned so much about and passed Computer Networking. Wohoo!!!

This is a really awesome course, it definitely is a lot more in depth than I originally thought it would be. Being more in depth made it somewhat more difficult as I thought I knew a lot more than I actually did. Very interesting and I definitely recommend this course.

Tons of information about networking fundamentals here. The info will catch you by surprise if you're not ready. Review as much as needed, and study to understand the concepts of how things work instead of just trying to memorize is my recommendation to any beginners.

I learn overall about the Internet working, even though I remember. I will relearn this lesson as long as I get through all of the lesson, because i want to have a overview about this lesson first and everything good thing will be learn for a few times to remember it.

Loved the coarse vary informative lots of info to download but I look forward to getting to the next coarse and learning even more I really enjoy learning from people who are like me and this coarse seems to have plenty of geeky interesting people showing us the way.

This was a really intensive six weeks but the course presenters helped break it all down and help me learn what was required. I do not have a strong networking background but I have found that I'm more interested in this aspect of the field than I had once believed.

This is a jampacked technical course but still digestible for stay-at-home moms like me who do not have computer science backgrounds. I highly recommend it, even if all you want to do is organize your own network at home. Be prepared to study smart and to work hard.

Awesome course. The supplemental readings are you friend as this course takes you head first into A LOT of information. It will weed out those who aren't committed to the specialization. I learned a ton in this course and can't wait to continue. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Very detailed and covered so much that I had learned from 20+ years of being a self learner of computer science, networking, and web development. Structured in an orderly fashion and with videos that are not too lengthy to stay focused on the materiel being taught.

this course has expanded my knowledge and understanding of computer networking from the perspective of an IT Support Specialist and has provided me with applicable skills to become a more effective and marketable technician. thank you google and thank you coursera!

Super informative course. I went from knowing literally nothing about computer networking to being able to explain every layer of the TCP/IP model, networking services, DNS/name resolution, and more. Great videos, informative readings, and great practical plugins.

I have completely enjoy the course and available learning contend. Resources were made available for individualized study. The student forum provided additional resource for occasional questions or help with roadblocks. Looking forward to next course. SB Jun 26,21

A lot of in depth info on networking. I have a much better understanding of the building blocks of networking as well as a better grasp on how all the parts work together. Victor is great. His personality throughout the course videos really helped keep me engaged.

It's a complex and challenging topic in this course, but the instructor has made it clear to undertand. After rewatching the video again and again I can make it to finish the course and understood a lot. Thanks for the course and certifcate from the Google Team.

This was a great overview of networking. It glossed over some things that are useful, but is a fantastic starting point if you know very little about the subject. I'm very glad that I took it, and have a good idea of what parts I need extra research to master.

Honestly, this course was very difficult for me because I had to learn many concepts and abbreviations, however the use of the internet, communication networks and the cloud are important aspects to take into consideration if we want a job related to this field.

I had no idea how in depth it would be! The course discusses really deep material but in a clear and simple way for a beginner to understand. I'm really grateful for that. The teachers are all really nice to listen to as well, which makes it all the more easier.

Great presentations and very detailed concepts presented in a straightforward and uncomplicated way. Presenters were clearly enthusiastic about IT and IT concepts and made it fun and make you feel like it is a possible career route for people switching careers.

Very good overview of networks. One thing I was expecting to understand slightly better would have been on how to setup a smart network. What should have been chosen for what purposes. How do multiple access points with the same name work. Else perfect training.

This Course is Awesome. even if it was quite tough to understand I got all fundamental knowledge behind how network works, how distant computer can communicate with each other, how a connection is established with key knowledge of the technology involved in it.

Being on the role of an IT Support/ Software staff for more than 6years in my current employment, handling most internet connection issues and yet this has brought more light to my world of IT.

Lots of new stuff from here is ready to roll into my daily operation

Great Course! Teaches you ALOT about the systems and protocols that make up the internet, which are usually abstracted from the view of an average internet user. The course does get a little wordy at times, but that's to be expected as there is alot to learn.

This course has changed my perspective about Internet. I have never imagined how many process and protocols are in play, just to send a single packet. To be very honest, I didn't even know data flows in the internet via packet. It was good to learn the basics.
