Is a very good course. With valuable information about cybersecurity. Recommended for beginners to want to introduce in this are. The only thing is that some videos have a poor quality of audio.

Overall a good course. But please fix some of the broken links, and also the English is not the best in the transcripts in some cases (made it hard to understand, when I was reviewing it).

good course. I learned a lot. However I hope some audio and information could be update the latest one. Now is 2021, soon to be 2021. The content mostly around 2016. Hope to improve more.

Graphics we're OK. But It was a bit hard for me to understand the people speaking, also some questions in the quizzes were worded poorly. Otherwise I enjoyed this course in it's entirety.

This course is great in terms of introductions, but the audio and production quality need a lot of improvements. Overall, I learned a lot from this course which will help me massively.

I found this course to be explained thoroughly although a few of the instructors were hard to understand. I tried to follow along with the reading and some of the words were inaudible.

Good course for a brief understanding of cybersecurity. In some parts a bit tedious or not concise, especially the last part, such as "pentest methodologies" and "vulnerability tests".

Well design course. But it still has some problems like there is lot of background noise IBM should record these kinds of course in some kind of control environment like in a studio.

Very good introduction to the cybersecurity, I am a beginner and I appreciate the quality of the content. However, very poor audio quality (and sometimes video quality too). Regards.

The overall content of the course is really interesting, the only drawback is that some of the lectures have the audio not in sync with the video. Otherwise, a very complete course.

Good information and very insightful especially if you're a complete novice. I would suggest using the captions options for some of the instructors because they speak very rapidly.

Good enough course material. However, some of the test questions do not reflect what is taught during the course. All test in this module require review by the content creators.

Course material is OK - IBM heavy obviously. The transcripts are super difficult to follow and would benefit from being tidied up for folks who prefer to read than watch videos.

The course content was fine but i really hope that the audio quality in this course is improved and the course matter is a bit unorganised. But overall a very informative course

The sound in certain videos could be better, the course provides a lot of information but it might be hard to concentrate if the student cannot correctly hear the presentation.

Course successfully introduced me to cyber terminology, risks, and resources. The course did utilize more jargon/acronyms than expected given its stated audience of beginners.

Great content. It does give a comprehensive overview of cybersecurity concepts, however, it is not a technical course (no hands-on practices) which is why I took one star off.

The course provides with good information. Some of the video's the sound quality is really bad. And the talking is not sync with the slides. So please check on those video's.
