The reading link to Week 03's Framework and their purpose is Broken. Please Fix it. Everything else seemed perfect. I would recommend this course for people who think of starting their careers in CyS.

Overall a very good introduction. I just think there is some very critical information that needs to be updated since there is quite a bit of outdated info still being used.

quizzes) were useful for 1st attempts, but did not change on subsequent attempts. At least a few versions of the quizzes for each lesson would be helpful.

This is a good introduction to cyber security; basically, the topics covered include descriptions of previous attacks, types of threats, types of firewalls, and cryptography.

For an introduction course, I learn a lot more about network security and encryption. I would like to see some labs regarding security a network and virus detection methods.

It's thoroughly enlightening, I really enjoyed the whole course. It can be finished in a week, if you have available time. But audio and subtitle problems should be fixed.

overall a good introduction to cybersecurity tools and cyber attacks. Some videos needs to be redone for clarity; the speaker sometimes isn't understandable when speaking.

The content inside this course is useful for a beginner and the explanation is very good. The quizzes are far more beneficial to revise the topics learned in the journey.

The course was very good and informative. By only concern was that the instructors were not English speakers, so sometimes, it got difficult to understand their language.

Very good introduction BUT, sometimes the sound is badly taped, the material is not equal in between the different teachers and the tone of certain teachers is boring.

Very informative, clear cut and explained in a digestible way but i will say some of the audio quality in the classes of, "Week 3" and Week 4" could have been better.

It is a good introduction and the speakers are very knowledgable but I think that the format of the presentations is not very engaging and the audio is always awful.

I wish here was more on OS. I am not sure how much of OS knowledge we would need in the field. I will take an OS course to get a good handle of the subject matter.

There was only one problem with the entire course, the audio had very poor quality.

On the other hand the course was very well built, lots of good content.

Thank you

A good introduction, but it didn't seem like all the information was useful, and I didn't learn as much as I thought I would. However, it is a good enough course.

Very compact course material , so a beginer can get a glimpse of the current cyber attacks and key concepts of avoiding and analyzing the attacks are understood.
