Ratings and Reviews for Internet History, Technology, and Security

Fascinating course about how the internet developed and how security works. Seeing interviews with some of the prime movers and developers in this field was particularly rewarding. The encryption exercises were great fun too.

Both fun and informative.

I've been working on the Internet since before there was a WWW, so I didn't necessarily expect to learn much, but in fact this was highly informative. The history part was mostly familiar, but it was helpful to have everything laid out clearly on a timeline. The technology and security portions did a great deal to clarify my previously vague understandings of how things work. And, I especially liked the "graduation ceremony" at the end. This is the first MOOC I've taken that included a graduation, and it was a nice touch.

Final exam was a little bit too much, but maybe it would have been easier, if I hadn't binge-learned the material. Anyway, thanks Dr. Chuck. Always a pleasure.

Good stuff. Informative overview and fun teacher

I thought this was a good foundation course, providing a great introduction to how the internet came into being, how it actually works and the basic security processes.

Outstanding. Can't wait to start my next class with Dr. Chuck!

Great course and great tutor. Provides with great background to Internet history and present.

Great content and well paced lectures
