The lesson provided a good level of detail. To enhance understanding, it would be beneficial to further explore how subnet mask values are derived within each octet.

In this course most of the content is covered not even one single part missed. It's very useful for beginners who were in starting stage of it. I highly recommend this to everyone.

This is a nice refresher class for me. The information is easy and quickly given. Teacher is engaging and knowledgeable. I would recommend this as a first networking class or a refresher.

I have done a third of this course and imho - it is not helpful for beginners as - there is no explanation, only stating of fact: ".., right?" - topics/words pop up out of the blue without teaching what they are about - the text on slides is read as-is, which you can do yourself, no need for someone to read it for you I do not recommend this course.

He is simply reading out the slides, we could have read the slides ourselves, the free content on YouTube is well prepared by many creators, then this course. After reading reviews, found out the instructor has only acknowledged positive reviews and all negative reviews(real reviews probably) have been ignored. This indicates that the creator is least bothered on fixing this issue. @Udemy. Please remove this course from your platform. if you want to stay credible and save your reputation in the market. @Syed Ali, @Syed Raza & @ClayDesk E-learning if the courses you make is worse then the free courses from @networkchuck on Youtube (just one example) then you should be ashamed of selling it here or anywhere. By the way your this course is not worth, even if it was free anywhere. Just posting this review in detail here, so that rest of the people can save their time, effort & money.

The course was good and well explained. The only thing I felt that could have been better was the way in which the material was presented. It felt like all the material was written on the slides and the instructor was doing a good job of reading through it and giving examples along the way, but the words were a bit distracting as instead of listening to him, sometimes my attention kept shifting to what was on the slide. Less words on the slides and more examples would make this course even better.

Not finished with the course, but so far it has been really good. Good explanation of the subject matter. He gives you definition of terms but also gives good examples of what is being discussed. There are good visuals along with subject content. I feel that the course will continue in this manner which is good for the student/viewer. He explains things in "laymen" terms which is also good for beginners.

Was looking forward to next stage of networking - How to connect to switch / Server and program the IP /MAC and how to admin block the port and via admin activate the port and how to search in switch & server duplicate address IP & MAC. Appreciate your support and guidance. Thank you. With regards & best wishes, Deen

The experience is good ... got to know about basics of networking There must be some live example or demonstration in Network intrusion section of the course

I got a bit frustrated with this after a while, because it seemed that the narrator was just reading the slides, rather than providing examples or explanations to the ideas and workings. It became monotonous so I had to degrade the positive rating I gave it in the first place.

This is a course by an expert who does not clearly understand what a beginner knows and does not know. I learned a lot, but feel like many sections in here needed prerequisite knowledge to understand (Sub-Netting was a big culprit here). I would have also appreciated some user-oriented examples throughout the course to help ground the theory.

I really appreciate the lessons length. I feel as if I’m getting years of knowledge in one week. It gives just enough to pause per slide, and get an in depth understanding of the topic.

For the limited time the instructor does have, he explains complex topics to the point that any student can comprehend.
