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.

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

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.

Very helpful! In our workplace, we assist customers with their domain forwarding, and this shed light on how DNS works, and of course, learning about networking as a whole gives a different perspective on how amazing the Internet works.

Was a very interesting course and learned a lot about networks. Just happy I was able to get through the info. Got a little stuck at IPv6 compressions and learning subnets and subnet masks, but was excited when i got through everything.
