Recommendation
Evaluation
While this material maps well to state standards, it could stand some reworking when it comes to order of presentation to the student. Rather than rethink the structure of the course as standards change and content is added, the publisher seems to tack new content onto the end of existing sections. This often results in disproportionately lengthy sections and subsections that feel out of place. This issue spans many TestOut courses.
Please see the Assessments section for narrative regarding recommended improvements.
TestOut is primarily known for their lab simulations, but there are several sections in this course that do not have corresponding labs.
This is still the best available learning system for the Network Fundamentals course, but TestOut needs to address the issues listed above to earn a 'Recommended Primary' rating again.
