This was a challenging course, but it did well building off of the foundation set in the first course. The only thing that I would improve is consider updating the videos. It was slightly distracting to have the video cut out with the Oops messages providing the correct information.

This was the most challenging couse so far in the series. A lot of technical information. I think a few more visual aids or handouts or diagrams would have helped to make the material easier to understand.The instructors did a great job at making the complex info engaging to learn.

Definitely a crash course, the course isn't too bad. It would be nice, if they included a little more work you could do on your own, maybe a program that lets you build networks to give you a more understanding and a little experience with the course layout.

Over all, great course.

This is a very nicely paced course. Although it needs to be updated. Some of the references inside the videos are dated. So much has changed within the IT field in just the last 4 years. Also, I would suggest more hands-on practice modules might be a help to solidify the concepts.

As someone who has a small background in Computer Networking and has not done it in several years, this was pretty straight forward and easy to recall what I knew. There was a lot of theory but i think practical quizzes are the best when it comes to understanding concepts faster.

This is really great, it helps me to understand some of the basics concepts of the core computer networking. However I'd suggest to add more lab in building samples of networks with for example cisco packet tracer in order to apply for instance IPv4 and IPv6 addressing schemes

This course covers A LOT of networking (especially for a beginner) The exam at the end of week 3 proved most difficult, and I used the discussion forums and outside resources to better explain the 5 layer model. Maybe the five layer model should be a course all on it's own.

learned a lot but I'll have to go back and look up some ot the sections because when I got to the compression test I'd pass it then it gave me a zero so I had to contact coursera and they had to wait on google to correct thier error so It's been 2 months that I lost waiting

This is awesome course. You can learn many networking things like how computer device communicate each other, IPv4, IPv6, DNS, DHCP, Troubleshooting, Cloud Compute, Interview etc. It's really helpful for who want to be a Network Engineer.

Thank You google team, coursera team.

Did not enjoy the guy teaching it at all, otherwise would of been 5 stars. He was annoying and used words that I had to look up sometimes. One example was using the word "antiquated". Why make the learning harder? I hope people do not get as frustrated as I did with the guy.

Overall, a great course. I know that they will continue to make improvements. There are a few sections in the material that are not as clear as they need to be (for example, in the IPv6 compression exercises). However I still enjoyed the course and felt that I learned a lot.

The information is solid, though there are a few sections that definitely feel like a bit too much information at once. The transcription is also mostly helpful, but there are moments that it misinterprets the speaker and makes it hard to read along to what is being heard.

This one is a hard course, but getting through it was a big accomplishment that I cannot simply overlook. My only complaint, is the 2 minute "my story" video's, which pulls me out of being locked in for studying, I feel they are really not needed in every single course. :/

Buen curso recomendable, para repaso de los que ya tienen carrera relacionada con sistemas y computación y para el publico en general y que con esto puedan entender un poco la lógica que hay detrás de la tecnología que usamos día a día y puedan dejar de pensar que es magia

Covers all the basics of networking, but you may want to practice more on subnetting and router connection to really get a grasps of networking. I think this module should have included networking simulation like GNS3 to complement the theory, that's why I give it 4 star.

It was great learning as well as valuable experience to me. The course curriculum is very well designed and it also has good engaging quizzes to test our concepts at the end of each lessons. All concepts are well explained with practical approach and real life examples.

I felt it got easier by the end especially on the topics of VPNs etc that felt the most natural to me, but the first three modules were the toughest to learn! Brain hurt. You must really apply yourself this one and take extremely good notes of every detail in my opinion.

honestly struggled with this course, i am more of a visual and hands on learner, alot of this course was alot of info just being droped on you, i had to use alot of outside videos and breking down the info into more chewable bits. still a good course and would recomend

At times I thought the instructor could explain the topics a bit more in depth. I had to do Google searches to fill in some information I felt I wasn't understanding. I also thought that the graded plug-in tests could use better instructions for how to take the test.

This course is very great if you are interested in the networking side of things. My only complaint is that it isn't the best for newcomers as there are topics that take a lot longer to understand than others. If you put in the work, then you will most likely succeed.

There is a ton of information to get through and digest. Being a visual learner, this was a bit hard for me. Concepts were touched on, and then we are on to the next one. Then a quiz comes up and asks you about that brief mention. I just wish there was more meat here.

Good contents and had fun. Thanks!

Two complaints about grade exams: at Wifi configuration, the instructions said Orange colored Bubbles will appear but it was Blue; and at IPv6 compression, if my memory is correct, Chrome was recommended only after starting the exam.

There was a lot of info to get through but I thought the host did a great job of explaining the material. The graphics were great as well in depicting the various protocols and network layering. I would have like more practice quizzes to help the knowledge take hold.

Wow ALOT of information: Well done, being able to check notes helps alot retaining information and doing it on my own time since I suffer from severe Anxiety and social too, Hate being rushed. Taking Anxiety medication help speed this up too, Green tea and caffeine.

It seems like this course could use an update. The content is still completely relevant, but it seems like with the newer technology, there's a lot more REALLY technical supplemental reading that's almost just a list of glossary terms. Otherwise it's a great course.
