This week consisted of doing the chapter 2 labs. We took a lot of time finishing up the lab, actually we didn't actually finish the lab, we came close, because PC1 was unable to make pings with the other computers. I'm going to have to do the worksheets and labs at home and I'm not sure when I'm going to be taking the chapter 2 test. I've found that doing the lab on the real-life routers, and especially one of the more important labs, was particularly helpful. Since you're doing them by hand, it sticks in your brain more than it does with the packet tracer labs, however, as we have noticed ourselves, it takes a lot of time. Also, finding the error is a lot harder, because you don't have the computer telling you where the mistakes are located. Also, packet tracer keeps you on track more and tells you exactly what to do which in a way teaches you how to do it the correct way.
