Great course. It is great for beginners and for people that may have forgotten a thing or two. The way it was taught makes it so much better than reading man pages or something else as dry and boring.

The course had some ups and downs, but it was a good challenge and I did it! I learned so much and I never knew I could do this kind of course. I have gained so much knowledge now from when I started.

Overall pretty good but kind of skimpy on actually using a computer to fix problems. More like just a bunch of info to learn.

A more detailed description of how to convert IPv6 to shorthand would be a benefit. It look me a long time to figure it out.

Learned a lot of things about networking that I didn't know before. The interactive modules on the quizzes are a bit unclear.

Really good course, great videos and clear info! Still the peer reviewed assignments are a disaster. They should be optional.

This one was a lot more challenging for some items I wish they broke it down a little more so it would be easier to follow.

Not all of the final quiz questions are worded to where what was said in the lessons provide a straight answer. Only a few.

I wished there was some way to wrap up all the knowledge in order to grasp a little bit better how the concepts intertwined

Good course, some more time could have been spent in explaining and breaking down examples of subnetting and subnet masks.

reading the ip address 1 by 1 is not the good for me it takes long and it's just a number why take so long to reading that

I pretty much taught myself how to route and subnet. Otherwise, there were some decently explained lessons in this course.

Initially the course started with a slow pace and was quite dry but gradually it became very catchy and quite interesting.

It's very hard to understand as a beginner. The topic is very complex. The speakers are all great and easy to understand.
