    Don't take this course. I really don't recommend this course to anyone who never learned computer network. Rafail Portnoy should explain materials in the course more and more.

    The reason why I felt like this is because I also took Computer Hardware and Operating Systems by Daniel Katz-Braunschweig and his class was too GREAT! He teaches with a lot of easy examples and fully explains why, what, how.... and so on.

    On the other hands, all the videos of Rafail Portnoy's class are shorter (videos are around 30 mins each) and of course less explanations, so I kinda had hard time to understand what's going on.

    This is the second course that I have taken on the subject of Computer Networking. Overall, I thought everything here was pretty straightforward, and the course topics were well-organized. I was able to move along the course fairly quickly and finish the specialization.

    one of the best courses i've taken in the last decade in relation to tech.

    complex subjects broken are broken down in way which makes sense

    and builds solid and essential knowledge quick.

    5/5 !

    The course is very helpful because it has a good explanation of networking from basic. It is self-paced and learns as per your preferable time.

    I think it's great material but because I'm on a limited budget can't afford it and it doesn't allow me to keep score

    I took this course to get the undergraduate credits. The quality of the material was excellent and the teacher answered my questions on a regular basis. I would take more classes like this one from the teacher.
