Ratings and Reviews for Internet History, Technology, and Security

Dr. Chuck is a great teacher. This was my first Coursera course, and I am super happy! Thanks! I learned a lot, and enjoyed it!

Excellent course! It's a great way to learn how all the web started and to know a lot of people who actually made it possible.

Perhaps it's just that I'm not a part of the target audience of this course, but I am deeply dissatisfied with it. Aside from a couple of rare interviews and old video records [which admittedly were very interesting, though too few], I found nothing of value that cannot be learned by reading Wikipedia or other easily accessible sources. The course is pretty light on technical details and there could [and perhaps should] have been much more beyond-the-scenes content, as well as references to specific documents and events in order to justify this course's existence. In other words, if you are a techie and are indeed interested in this topic, chances are that you already know most of the material taught.

Nice teacher and very interesting information that makes easy to understand nowadays technology,

Love it, easy to follow, great lecture. !

Dear Dr Chuck (If you're reading this) Firstly thank you so much. I am currently in my 3rd year of B.E in Information Technology and wish that networking was taught to me like this from the start. Not just how we use protocols, standards and Layers but the reason and history of their existence. It was a lovely experience even though I didn't maximize any of your tests. Just a few things that I thought you could have covered in the course. From the first internet to the web servers and world wide web, you covered all aspects of the currently visible web. However we know that the internet is not only limited to that. If you would've given an insight on how the the deep/dark web came into being, that in my mind would cover every portion of the net today. Regardless of that, it was a lovely course and I really admire your way of teaching ! However I still have no clue how I could have answered the number of hops from Michigan to Harvard !

Great content, structure, depth, course leader. All in all a brilliant course.

Dr Chuck is great!

This course gave me great insights into the evolution of the internet, computer networks. Interview videos of people behind all the magic is an excellent collection and it is really informative to comprehend the big picture. I am very happy that I enrolled into this course and I am enjoying it.

Excellent course, extremely engaging and so well composed!
