I have no critiques of the class itself, only personal insights of the experience, I wish I had been better prepared prior to beginning the class, but with the help of the counselors, instructors, and mentoring (several sessions) I was able to make for the deceit and passed. That in itself is quite an accomplishment.
In my opinion this was a decent course to get familiar with the subject. However now that I have successfully completed and passed with 100 on final exam. I do not feel any more knowledgeable, or feel I have retained anything that I could use in the real world.
Too much material to go over in just two weeks, need at least an extra week. Also more hands on, would have been much more helpful.
I am frankly scared and anxious for any real world work in this field. I feel like I just got a crash course in CISCO and only have more of a headache than I ever thought imaginable. I have no confidence in my ability to take and pass the real CCNA certification exam. I don't understand the vernacular. This course was like trying to take someone who's spoken English their whole life and try to teach them Spanish within a 2 week time period. Many students did not feel comfortable asking questions to the instructor - we felt it wasn't very approachable. I personally felt I was just slowing down the class and was the only person who didn't "get it" meanwhile several students reached out to me individually to mention they felt the same way. I think ACI learning needs to rethink this course. I am honestly disappointed and scared for my future. I have no clue what any of this means, why it's important, and how I will benefit from knowing any of this. Half the class was pointless labs, I feel. Just following instructions on a lab, sure I get "hands on" but it's not real. It doesn't make any sense. I feel bad for not understanding this stuff. Am I stupid? Or is there anything the instructor or ACI learning could have done differently or better? I imagine the truth is some combination of the two or it's somewhere in the middle as it always is.
Now that I am aware of the functions and components of an operating system within and over a geographical area, I look forward to learning in-depth information about a network/s.
