This was really time-consuming but it was really worth learning. Although in the end, it seems to be very basic things, they would be essential through whatever you want to accomplish in the IT field.

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.

I learned a lot more than I thought I would. Some of it I knew, like a few of the terms but didn't know how it connected with the entire web of Networking. Now I have a must better understanding.

I like this course better because during the quiz it lets you know what you did wrong vs telling you to recap on a earlier video. also learning about broad band and fiber optic was pretty fun. :)

This course was well constructed for a self-motivated learner that wants to learn the details of computer networking. I truly enjoyed the learning experience and challenge of how it is presented.

This section was downright hard if you have no familiarity with networking like I did, it frankly needs some extra supplementary material or text or more exercises to really drive in the concepts.

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.
