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.

over all I have a better understanding of what the IT support people I have talked to over the years. Once I have real world experience I will have a better grasp what I have learned.

Some of the terminology end methods used in this differ from other organizations like Comptia, but the course was good for providing an abstracted, baseline understanding of networking.

Very technical with a lot of detail that one has to pay attention to., especially the network part. Still, well worth it and learned a lot abut networking during this specific course.

Lack of visual Aids or Graphical Explanation

Explanation needs to be more Graphical or consist of more visual aids which smooths the transition of understanding in some critical topics

Good course but they don't explain some of the new concepts as thoroughly as they did in the first course of the specialization so some of the concepts may require more outside study.

Very technical, and the delivery was quite fun and filled with Jokes and puns that made it a lot more enjoyable. A very tough course but very well rounded and informative. Thank you!

Course is awesome, learned so many new details. Wish there was a way to do some lab/hands on training on commands and real life outputs. Similar to labs done in 1st module of course.

I think a lot of the concepts here need to broken down even more if we want to understand networking better. This only touched the surface, and I feel like I needed more information.

A little heavy on the OSI model. I first learned this stuff around 20 years ago and can honestly say that I've never specifically needed to know which layer something might be found!

A lot more detailed information about the internet and networking works. It was challenging and a lot of information. The training increased my respect and awe that it works so well.

This was a very difficult course, but a strong learning experience. There were a few tough assignments that I felt needed more information to support them. Overall still pretty good.

Good course with a lot of technical detail and helpful animations. I would have liked more hands-on practice. Overall, positive experience and I learned a lot of useful information.

a lot of condensed topic are mention maybe in 15 second and the last time of multiple video, we should more concentrate on it besides turn out the supplemental reading into a video

Most of this information was accurate and well laid out, however, a fair chunk of time was spent outlining outdated and unused features that will rarely be delt with in actuality

Good course overall, Viktor is amazing, but I really didn't like graded assessments as sometimes they were really disconnected from the content and some questions were very vague.

Great course! Some of the graded work was tough, but good information. I didn't give it a 5/5 just because some of the graded material wouldn't load and/or a bit hard to control.

This was a great course! Clear and concise, I just wish there were more interactive sections for networking and troubleshooting to get more of a visual idea of how things work.

This course is amazing. you will learn basic to moderate knowledge of networking. but this course is full of theory. some more practical and real world videos may help beginners.

Great course and instructors!

You may have to fix some of the glitches people were encountering when taking the graded exams! Or maybe they were part of the challenge :)

Thank you!

It took me longer than expected to understand some of the materials.. more graphic examples were helpful in understanding some of the information provided.. I enjoyed this course

There are code issues in the answers versus the questions in IPV6 compression quiz. A few answers do not match what is taught in the course, This needs to be thoroughly examined.

this course is amazing it basically teaches you how to internet works i gave it only four stars because it's really hard and lond, and i know they could've done nothing about it.

I really, really liked when there were random "pop up" quizzes. This helped me focus on the reading. I like that there was video and transcripts of the video on the same page.

Great information to dive into !!! It can be a bit overwhelming, I needed to take multiple breaks and refresh on every subject. It is in great detail. Couldn't get any better.
