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 course was more intensive than the first one, but felt a little more hands-on. I am excited to see how the next course goes. I do feel I learned quite a bit in this course and it was challenging.

I hope the final certificate has more hands on assignments. I learned a lot of concept and the organization of IT but I need to do, to learn and remember.

Great all around course, very informative. Had issue with a few of the module labs and the graded written assignment, but seek help from the forums for it.

Some lesson plans didnt seem a fleshed out as others, and certain topics were brought up but then never touched on later or just didnt show up on the test.

This course is decidedly more in-depth and geeky than IT Fundamental course 1. The presentation and layout are the same as course one, and well organized.

I absolutely loved it, but some of the end assessments aren't very clear and can lead you on by not being worded in a way that makes their question clear.

I found the course challenging, but if I thought about it and paused for a second; I could search through the videos for what I needed to know and Eureka!

It is a bit difficult to get through, but if you take good notes and review regularly it is a great educational step in getting familiar with IT concepts.

It's a very exciting course, and the instructors are hard-working people to deliver the courses smoothly, I forward my great appreciation for all of them.

Good course with a lot of theory and lack of practice. "Networking" is a subject broad enough to implement a specialization or a professional certificate.

I learned a lot from this module. I would have given it 5 stars except the transcription was missing for the last week. Other than that, I enjoyed myself.

The course content is sufficiently in-depth. The instructor is fun and exudes the right energy for learning. The concepts are presented with much clarity.

A little hard to follow sometimes. A lot thrown at you at once. You may have to watch the videos more then once. But once you get it, you'll be satisfied.

In concerns with subnetting in particular I feel there should have been a dedicated course to this particular topic , otherwise this course was amazing.!

some of the topics like the routing table could have used a deeper explanation like there are three rules to IPV6 compression and more examples as well.

It is great course, but I think some infos and question are based on old source(I don't mean by historic evolutions parts, I actually liked that parts)

I got to learn a lot about networking the only issue I had was the content was a bit too fast, but watching the videos again will clear all the doubts.

Week 4 thoroughly kicked my butt! Outside of that, I would have liked to see more practical application just to help drive home the concepts discussed.

This course was great but the one thing I would say is it could have been split up better. The examples were amazing and overall a pleasant experience.

i thought this was a very challenging course. a ton of techie stuff and it would have been nice to have a little bit more hands on during this course.

About the Theory is quite OK, but the new Concept is too many so i think we need to assign more Example or Simulator to have the specific observation.

Overall pretty good but a bit of a slog at times without enough hands on practice to reinforce knowledge and see how it applies to real life scenarios
