Este curso es una buena elección como introducción o repaso de las redes, tiene un lenguaje claro y los ejemplos muestran los conceptos que se están viendo dejando la opción de investigar para profundizar en el tema.

By James Coes on 6/23/2026

Most of the information I was aware of but it is put together well. Very easy to understand

By Thameemul Ansari A on 5/19/2026

This is ultimate very basic theory, this is good for college students and non IT freshers...if you are already experienced, do not touch this.

By Jeff Anderson on 5/19/2026

Very good overview of the material, without getting bogged down in long-winded explanations.

By Ryan Montgomery on 3/10/2026

This is mainly as a refresher of what I had been educated years before. Start with the fundamentals before going into the specifics.

By Aaron Moss on 2/24/2026

It was a good general summary of networking fundamentals, and the subjects were broken up into easily understandable 5-10 min chunks.

By Karen Grigoryan on 2/13/2026

Good course for getting a basic understanding of networking. It could be improved with more examples and interactive exercises.

By Martial on 2/3/2026

Going a bit deeper, using multiple tools to present the topic, adding a few more exercises, and making it more interactive.
