This course has too much corporate language which becomes quickly annoying. Many explanations are vague, nonetheless, there are still some useful ideas.

Extremely basic material with a firehose of overly simplistic videos and labs that didn't have quite enough detail or maintenance to follow.

I dont understand why do we need to be charged for the last excersice, It is required to put my CC on the IBM platform, I am not quite agree

The videos are not very engaging and the final course lab does not work properly. Fails to initialize with load balancer.

There needs to be an intro course to programming terms. Screenshots are outdated and do not match course material.

Many of the videos did not seem "natural". Especially in the beginning it felt like advertisement.

I would like to see a real teaching interaction than background voice over the presentation :(

Encountered problems getting the feature code in the laboratory section of the module. Week 2

Perfect video presentation but I you are not into consuming theory then this course not ideal

If your going into an IBM env it may be good but as a whole not as good as other courses

This course was fully theoretical, with no practicals I felt like I am learning history.

Good info but too broad for it to be useful. Definitely a sales piece for IBM Cloud

too fast, IBM advertises, not explaining perfectly. just like reading any book

not very educational for ppl with basic knowledge of cloud

you takes lot of time to review our assignments.

Too many videos, not that many hands-on labs

Commercial ad for IBM that I'm paying for.

Reads like a brochure on Cloud Computing.

Too defult to understand as beginner

Only theory section

Very boring course

This didn't feel very much like an intro course. The pacing of the (probably Watson-generated) videos didn't stop for a second to let students reflect on a lot of new information coming at them, the final exam was impossible to replicate outside the lab environment and didn't do much to ease new people into things at all, and the light board videos were neat, but it was hard to distill which information from them would appear in the quizzes. While previous modules in the IT support certification were pretty cut and dry, this one felt like the lyrics to "Mission Statement" by Weird Al Yankovic; just a hodgepodge of business buzzwords and jargon that get in the way of telling students what Cloud Computing is REALLY all about. It almost felt like a cult, actually. I get that it's the future, but chill, we're here to learn, not buy enterprise cloud solutions.

The peer grading is complete and utter trash. I had to completely redo an assignment because my peer assessor could not be bothered to actually read my submission. What's worse is that there's no control for this at all. There's no way to contest a grade. There's no way to flag the reviewer as being abusive or lazy. All you can do is resubmit the work and hope the next person takes it seriously.

I have a full-time job and a part-time job. I have a family. I'm taking graduate courses. I don't have time to waste because a core part of the certificate requires me to trust other people that don't take what they do seriously. It's ridiculous. It actually has me reconsidering where I want to spend my money. I did not have this problem when I did my Google Certification on Coursera. It seems unique to IBM courses.

For the vast majority of the course I was listening to robotic-sounding recitations of poorly-written texts. A ton of jargon is thrown at you at once without proper explanation. Any knowledge gained by someone like me, who has no experience in business or in the cloud, is vague and superficial. Too few concrete examples and too many abstract concepts explained in theory leave the innocent participant frustrated and helpless. There are not enough words to describe the pedagogical catastrophe that most of this course was. However, when actual professionals presented a topic, everything was so much clearer and more interesting. I appreciated those parts, but they were only a small fraction of the content.

i wish i could give 0 stars.progress is held up by a peer review assignment that is on material that is NOT taught. One is expected to automatically know how to use ibm without it being taught at all.The name is mentioned in the course and that literally is all that is covered ion ibm cloud and creating instances. This is unfair. This is not taught and there is no way to know what to do without it being taught. I did not enjoy this class at all.i feel that all of my hard work is wasted because we are required to do something that is not taught in any capacity. 0 stars.There is also no way to contact the instructor. It really is terrible.
