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!

what an amazing course, so much information and yet so easy to understand, would recommend going over a few of the videos and supplemental reading a few times, take the time needed, it'll be worth it.

This was a challenging course, but it is packed with information and is very thorough in its explanations, if you're willing to give the course the concentration and time that it needs.

A very difficult and challenging course, but very well instructed and examined. I had a hard time with it, but the information was all there and just required some extra work on my end.

By far this has been the most technically detailed and rigorous course I've taken. Even with prior ,yet non-formal IT knowledge, this course completely challenged me and blew me away!!!

Phew! That was a lot to take in!

Quite a challenging course, but well presented, and all the answers are there. I'm happy with my 92% grade, and I'm looking forwards to the next course.

I enjoyed leaning about how data flows from one computer to another, even over a router to a different network. The instructor of this course is very good and presents the content well.

The best course could be for the subject. Course divided into small small topics with quizzes and make it easier for a student to learn. I would always recommend courses from coursera.

I give the instructor a thumbs up. He's calm while delivering content and also makes a joke or two to keep the course lively. The course is easy to follow up with and to understand.

Very informative. A lot of information! The course goes in depth about computer networks and how they work and came to be. Great examples and explanations as to why we use what we use.

Amazing course. Definitely don't see ethernet cords, and computer the same after this course. So much to learn and so much more to come with IPv6 slowly becoming more, and more common.

This course was very informative. I learned so much about the intricacies of how the internet work, how networks communicate over long distances and how complicated it all actually is.

I really liked the course and I learn a lot about network and the mysterious world behind it. Now, it is not mysterious anymore! It is science and knowledge that makes up the network!

The lessons are very informative, and the quizzes are just hard enough that they require you to have a solid grasp of all pertinent information. The teacher is awesome and very funny.

This was very difficult for me personally. The information is very dense and hard to grasp for me without having real examples. I would say just study it a bunch and you will get it!

I love this course from Google and Coursera. What I did not like it and was anoyning is that when was the last assigment I showed me in Ukranine language and I don't speak ukraninen.

A rather technical course, compared to the previous one in this specialization, but a good, and important one nonetheless. Victor's cheerfulness also adds to the course enjoyability!

It was challanging after the first course but it really helped me to grasp how networking works between the computers! I had to do more reading to learn but it boosted my curiosity!
