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.

This was definitely a difficult topic. There is so much to networking but focusing and putting in the time really paid off. My head did spin a few times but doing some extra searching and reading help set it straight,

The course is good I am very pleased by the opportunity to learn from it, but could provide more pratical exercise due its complexity, like to simulate network topology in order to imitate computer network , Cheers

The information in this course is so integral in the IT world but I am so glad it is over it was not my strong suit but I enjoyed the challenge and am at the same time so grateful that I got through it in one piece.

Course was great I gave it a 4 star only because there were a couple of exercises in 2 quizes that I think would have benefited me if they put them in the smaller quizzes too and not the "final one". Overall 4 1/2.

There is an assignment at the end of the 3rd module that is intense I wish the 3rd module which was the most intense module in the entire class was a little more hands on. I had to brush up a lot to complete it.

I liked the course, but it is a lot of information crammed into what seems to be a small amount of time. While I managed to get through the material it will require me going through it again to have better grasp.

This was definitely a difficult course but it felt good to really get to dive deep into how this stuff works. The videos were incredibly informative and the graded assignments really helped cement that knowledge.

Please replace Qwiklabs with something more reliable. Half the time I had to re-do the labs because even though I did the right steps, it didn't register or grade it. The content was great but the labs were awful.

Good; very informative however the way things were explained was too particular. It almost seems like they expect everyone to think similarly. Perhaps add different ways of perspective when explaining a concept.

I don't give 5 stars because there is some mistakes in quizzes like questions repeated and I submitted the mistake long time ago and not corrected yet and no response from support.

But I learned lots of things.

Quite technical but maintains your interest. I was lost on the subnetting though and I'll put that down to me. I get the basic concept but if I was tasked with setting up subnet masks, I'd be getting docked pay

The instructions are pretty good. I like the examples used in the course, and they really help to clarify things. However, the quizzes and assignments are not very good, just somethings testing the memorization.

This course was amazingly beneficial. The content was in depth and very interesting. I think sometimes it moved a little too quickly and may have been intended for someone with more background knowledge than me.

The videos could have been more engaging. It was obvious the instructor was rote reading from prompts. It would have been more interesting to have had varied instructors like with the first Fundamentals course.

This part of the course was hard, having worked in the filed some years back and forgetting most of what i learned, this course became difficult in certain parts but i managed to get most of my knowledge back..

Felt like additional explanations were necessary to elaborate on certain concepts. Some of the quiz questions gave me a feeling of uncertainty because it did not seem to reflect what the material had covered.

The course is very good but it was full of definitions and numbers. As a beginner, I found difficulty in memorizing all of them. I believe that the course needs more videos and animations to show some details.

I thought there were some concepts that could've been explained better. I absolutely would not have completed this course without supplemental reading and spending a lot of time with my dear friend Chat GPT.

Networking is very deep subject and complicate in some points, I think in 6weeks is just not enough to get along with the topics of the course. Some assignments are very tricky or not clear in what they want.

A ton of material, they seriously could have made this course 12 weeks instead of 6. For what was covered though, it was great. I'm not 100% sure I'll retain all of it, but it was fun learning it regardless.

Aside from some incorrect speech-to-text in a few videos, this was an informative course. Please correct the written information, as it will confuse people who may not speak English as their first language.

This was a great experience. I learnt how the networks works in this a few weeks and that was just amazing! There were a lot of new terminologies and they used many animations and examples to explain them.

Very good course that gives you a complete overview of Networking. I just wished the course had more graphics (slides) and that some material could be provided in pdf format to encompass the whole content.

Love how easy and straight forward a rather complex material was made. Kudos!!!

Gave me the materials i needed, and also provided me with extra materials for those i don't necessary need but might run into.

This course is great with information. I only gave it a 4 star because at times I wished that I had more analogies to help me understand the most complicated technical processes. Instructors were super.
