    I loved this course. When I had issues support was awesome sauce. I really enjoyed the puns this instructor used to keep you from going off in a daze. I really wish I would have found Coursera sooner.

    It was useful and fun :) All the details of the five layer model are explained thoroughly. IPv6 is addressed (lol). DNS, DHCP... all explained step by step. I recommend.

    Hard but learned a lot. The motivation of the Google team helped a lot or else I would have gotten bored and not finished. Good interview and troubleshooting scenarios.

    Take the time to understand how the whole thing works, it needs to make sense in your head, this way, you can troubleshoot and lookup things online whenever necessary.

    excellent course but the hands-on labs are buggies and even if I did it correctly still failed or got 50% and had to do it several times before it recorded accurately.
