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.

This was very informative and significantly more challenging than the previous course. Some of the videos were quite long and I'd suggest trying to break them up more given how heavy the topics are.

it is a great experience learning all the knowledge of network's history, present and coming future, all the information is very relevant to my daily experiences .thank you for much for all content

Quite a few times the tests would look for answers that were only briefly mentioned in course. The quizzes are not helpful at all in preparing for the test or for really understanding the material.

Pretty good content, but doesn't cover actual settings in switches, routers, firewalls, or computers. It's mostly theory. I was hoping to learn more about how to manage and secure my own network.

Cool information but not much practice, a lot of time spent on outdated theory (even though the history lessons were cool). Definitely a great course, but could use a little boost for modern tech.

Thank you very much, team Google for giving this course. This is a really nice, well-organised and a little bit tough course. I am super excited to do other professional courses offered by Google.

It was pleasant experience. Instructor got good experience in narrating the whole networking subject in very generic way to understand the concepts very easily. Thumbs Up to Mr. victor Escobedo.

The information given and taught in the course was as valuable as google but the teaching method was not as good that I thought it will be Because they just read lines from screens simultaneously.

Truly a very flexible course plan holding a bunch of info. But all the hard work is worth it. You can learn about the depths of networking even though you may not have come across one. Loved it.

Very good coverage, incredibly information dense. Needs a better way to review, you'll have to spend a lot of time going over notes or making flashcards to remember all the terms and definitons.

Good course and lots of valuable material for foundations of computer networking. As I stated before, might have liked more topics/material on cloud computing which is growing hugely right now.

In the Bits and Bytes of Computer Networking, a lot was learned. It is more than an introduction if followed carefully with the added additional materials in each section. It was indeed awesome.

A good overview of computer networking as an introduction but there were some areas I would have like to seen expanded on. But as the instructors reiterate, IT is a continuous learning process.

the topic of subnetting, specifically for routing IP addresses should go more in-depth. The modules do not provide enough preparation for the assessment. Other than that it was quite insightful

Extremely dense material for a beginner, but definitely worth the time & effort! Although networking is not necessarily for me, it was crucial to have a basic understanding of how it all works.

This course was a bit more challenging for me and I definitely have to go back and review it to make sure I understand everything. I'm glad that I did it though because I did learn some things.

This was a great course learn so much about how network works, solving problems in a network, verifying connectivity issues on different operating systems. Types of networking technologies etc

Would have preferred some more "hands-on" lessons, but in general I enjoyed this course. I learned a lot and will be furthering my knowledge and skills with outside materials over time. Thanks!

Besides the technical problems and lack of an actual teacher to assist with questions when I had errors, I developed a great understanding of the subject matter. Overall, I enjoy this course.

This was by-far the best course in the professional certificate program. The instructor sold the material, had a great personality and I felt like I picked up a lot of knowledge along the way.

I got so much to learn, I understood why things work the way the are n all. But it was all difficult, I wish they would've taught better by using non too much technical language and animations

The course is great.However, all important points are just being spoken. It could have been more efficient to just let us read through the course. Cuz i am mostly relying on the transcripts.

I really enjoyed the course. It was differently more difficult then into class. lol

I wish there were more training and labs on troubleshooting. It seemed to just brush over troubleshooting.

It was full of new info and tons of details about networking. maybe those information would be much easier to understand if they were put in a certain scenario but overall it was fanatastic
