CCNA certification is highly regarded in the networking field and can significantly enhance career prospects. Obtaining this certification through a school program is advantageous, as it typically eliminates the high costs associated with taking the exams independently, which can amount to several hundred dollars. Network administrators who hold a CCNA certification can expect to earn an average salary between $80,000 and $90,000. The opportunity to take the CCNA tests for free as part of a course is a valuable chance for students to boost their qualifications and improve their job market competitiveness.

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
