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.

The content is good, but unfortunately the presentation is sub-par. It made an otherwise good Intro-level course into a sub-par course. I really liked the SMEs explanations, I just wish there was quality control on the audio and presentations.

I am thankful for the opportunity coursera has provided to me. This course is good for the people seeking mostly theory. There is very little application taught. The course could have been better if the audio and video qualities were good.

Great course and intro to theory, concepts and terminology on cybersecurity. The production value in some of the audio is lacking though, would be great if they all matched the audio that was used to introduce each topic. Otherwise great.

Content is very good but quality of the material (media) could be improved.

Some tutors knows a lot but do not speak in a understandable language for beginners (technical terms on content)

Overall satisfaction is good for the time invested.

This course is a good way to start learning cybersecurity, with some good classes and resources. On the other hand, some information shared need to be updated and the audio in some classes could be better. Otherwise, great intro course.

transcript did not always match with the audio so that would be a challenge for hearing-impaired users who rely solely on the transcripts.

the audio of some of the lectures were botched hence all the "INAUDIBLE" parts in the transcript

Excelente curso, lleno de conocimientos clave para iniciar una carrera en una de las muchas ramas de la ciberseguridad. Sin embargo, el audio de algunos ponentes distaba de ser bueno, lo que hacia el video cansado y difícil de seguir.

Some videos are a little long and hard to follow ar first but the ones in the third and fourth week are easy to follow. I think it overlaps a lot with ISC's certified in cybersecurity course, so it's great review if you've done that.

I struggled a little bit with knowledge retention because of the heavy accents used in the videos at the start. However as the courses went on and I got more familiar with the voices the course became clear and had great knowledge.

Overall, there are also of useful contents and readings. It will be good that some training modules could be conducted in layman terms and a dictionary of all key terms will be helpful to professional not in the cybersecurity field.

Well, I found the course very thrilling, especially when the topic is so exciting. What I learned, builds on my existing understanding on this field, and there was a space to learn something new. It's highly recommended, no doubt!

This course was amazing to take. Very informative and rich. My challenges were:

* Too much theory. I wanted more hands-on practice.

* The instructors were either inaudible or not clear with their words. Thank God for the subtitles.

Everything was good about the lesson

Only the master's voice was a little weak

Sometimes it was not audible

A company like IBM is expected to provide good sound equipment for the master so that he can record sound properly.

Thankful

The content served as a solid introduction, though some lectures seemed redundant. The lectures coming from different instructors could be reworked to flow more organically from one to other, but in isolation they were solid.

It is an amazing course. I have learnt many things. One thing which i would like to suggest is that there few reading material which are not available. I hope you update those reading material as it would be of great help.

I've been taking quite a few courses lately and so far this one has been the most informative by far but the presentation and audio quality could use some work. By "some" work, I mean alot. Great course overall though

Excellent intro to Cybersecurity. Great content.

Audio quality should be improved.

References are from 2018 so you'll need to try to find more updated versions of certain documents if you want to learn the latest data.

This course is very educational and I have learned many things about cybersecurity. The instructors are all great and well informed. The only problem is the audio, I hope they could use better microphones next time.

Es un buen curso, con muy buen informacion, pero la calidad de los videos y las presentacion de las diapositivas en muchos casos, parece un poco improvisada, pero el contenido, la informacion del curso es valiosa.

Hi

It was a very useful course with very practical and pragmatic learning. It lost a star for the poor quality of the sound in some videos and some of the links taking me to a 404 page. Otherwise a very good course.
