Terrible! I purchased this course to learn how to set up a lab with hands-on examples. There were too many choices since I know nothing about networking, how I am supposed to know what to choose, and how to set it up. I did not pay for a list of suggestions without teaching. This course was more about how to purchase hardware and software, but not how to set them up and use them!
