Comentários e feedback de alunos de Estudo sobre Redes: Compreendendo os Princípios Fundamentais, Sem Cálculos da instituição Universidade de Princeton

I was really good experience learning.Got to know about new networking knowlegde

Using themes and analogies, this course successfully give a holistic view. You lose a bit on mathematical precision, but gain on a firmer understanding of the phenomena.

Interesting course. Some errors in questions during the exam, and sometimes teaching is a little slow. Great material anyway, but I suggest to take notes while watching because slides are not complete (there are no formulas).

WARNING: NO CERTIFICATES GRANTED IN THIS COURSE DESPITE WHATEVER COURSERA, SEARCH RESULTS OR COURSE INFO TELLS YOU. IT IS PRINCETON POLICY, AND PRINCETON WILL NOT CHANGE FOR YOU. WHEN YOU SIGN UP THERE WILL NEVER BE ANY CHANCE TO PAY, AND IT WILL NOT APPEAR LATER.

Taking the above into consideration, this is still a very good all around review of networking principles. Nothing terribly deep, but it can't be broad and deep while being doable in this timeframe. The math is easy, so long as you can keep track of iterations and the value changes from one to the next, the actual math is super easy (and there's never more than a handful of iterations). Jumps around a bit wildly from topic to topic, but they are all interesting and necessary to know about. Very little extraneous material, though some of the parts are dated (principles are still useful though). Wifi still uses wait and listen, just a lot differently. The class also argues heavily that pay per use plans are better than flat fee, and the math supported it, but the business model has swung away from that and back to flat. None of this matters though, it's the ideas and principles behind everything that are critical to understand in today's world. None of those are changing in any significant way until my quantum computer hits the market.

One problem is that the teachers of the class are LONG gone, if you are looking for answers to questions and things of that nature forget it. There are also a couple of broken lecture links and messed up exam questions. These have been pointed out for several years, would be ridiculously easy to fix, and nothing has ever been done, so no instructor is listening to any of us, ever.

5/5 stars given it is free, and so long as you go in knowing you can't get any certificate.

This course presents together several concepts that are seen separately through different courses as computer networks, network science, recommendation systems and so on. The topics covered give a practical view about problems of and on actual networked systems.

Running through this course was a rich experience that will help me to improve my own courses for graduate and undergraduate students.

Excelentes ejemplos y analogías, buen curso

very great course!

Excellent Course.

awsome contents

good one

Good

Great course in general!

Unfortunately some lectures are missing and on Quiz's some questions missing description and some pictures missing too and authors don't reply on remarks yet.

Will be glad to rate "5 stars" when remarks are fixed.

Thank you to the instructor! Subjects are explain in the simplest language which help the understanding. Not updated to latest trends but serves as an introduction to the origins on the networks detailed in the course.

Very clear explanation.

A simple approach that helps to understand most of the concepts reviewed.

Thanks.

Great illustrations and examples, it would be nice to see more practical examples during this course

Wrong subtitles, no communication...

I learnt more.

Un curso demasiado interesante para la sociedad actual, ya que hace un relacionamiento histórico de muchos puntos analizados, y también, trata claramente la actualidad y sus grandes avances tecnológicos.

Ojalá en el futuro, estuviera en español.

Y sería bueno un certificado, una decepción tanto esfuerzo sin ningún documento que lo avale.

The content is excellent, however the videos are too long (more than 2 hours per week). It would have been worth using 12 weeks instead of 8.

The topics are of interest however the course content could be presented better. In most instances it is hard to predict where the instructor is writing and is hard to read. Also writes over the slide material.
