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.

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.

In this course, I learn a lot about Network concepts, The different TCP/IP model layers, and the most important network commands. I really enjoy this course. Thanks to Courcera, BMCC and Google.

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.

This course was brilliant. It was incredibly technical, but it was explained in a very easy to understand manner, with repetition of key items throughout the course. Totally worth doing though.

The course is fun and provide useful information at the right depth. It's not too easy and does not give too many useless information. It is good for a first approach to the subject (beginner).

The course was great and learned a lot about networks. Small bug in the final quiz that would never allow you to pass on the first question, but hopefully they will fix it and update my grade.

Very impressive amount of information over a 6 week time. It was challenging and almost made me want to give up. But I pulled through and now moving my way into the rest of this certification!
