This course is extremely boring and monotonous. First of all, in every single video, the same annoying generic background music plays for the entire duration, and it is extremely annoying. Additionally, the voiceover sounds very robotic, and the presentation slides are bad as the voiceover reads the bullet points word-by-word. If you are doing the IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate, this course will bore you, and it is not significantly related to the other courses in the certificate. I do not recommend this course nor the IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate in general. I have cancelled my subscription, and I am now doing Meta's Back-End Web Development Professional Certificate, and it is so much better (not an ad). There is a real person speaking to you face-to-face, and when necessary, animated diagrams pop up. Again, not an ad, it is my own personal opinion.

The course appears to be cobbled together from a mixture of promotional material, internal training modules and some modules that may have actually been designed specifically for this course.

The discussion board is absolutely littered with people having problems accessing the IBM cloud to complete their final assignments as it appears the trial codes that are supplied don't play very well with the actual cloud suite. Overall this is an almost comically bad introduction to what is supposed to be a 12-part full stack development course.

Yikes... Where can I find the equivalent course sponsored by Microsoft?

Course material is presented by text-to-speech which wasn't engaging at all. The 4 or so lectures that were done by actual people were much better.

The peer review system for the final assignment isn't working properly - it asks me to review "peers" that submitted their assignments almost two years ago, or even submissions from deleted accounts. Meanwhile there are dozens of posts on the forums asking for people to review their submission or re-review because they were unfairly graded 0/10.

The first part, it seemed that the point of cloud being more cost effective was drilled so much into my head, it felt like the course was trying to sell me the idea of cloud rather then teach me about it. Also the amount of time IBM was being mentioned as a provider also just made it feel like a sales pitch. I understand the course is from IBM, but it grew quite bothersome

For those videos involving a person explaining the ideas, it is very clear. However, most of the time the slides contain too many words, like using more abstract sentences to explain the target word/term, which is not helpful. Besides, the summary slide always contain lots of sentences or bullet points, which then lose the meaning as a summary slide.

Background music is to loud. Not silenced durring other videos with background music. Bad ai voice. Dont use an AI voice. There were clear mutes ware people were talking and you just mutted them instead of re recoring the audio. Felt rushed, inochisive, and unpolished. if this was my first course I would ask for a refund.

The questionaires were often worded very unprecise. The voice over becomes obnoxious very quickly ( sounds ai like) . A lot of topics where unecessarily long. For a course that has this amount of traffic I expected something else.

Content is well delivered. Videos are very instructive and easy to understand. However, it is impossible to complete week 5 due to not being able to create an IBM cloud account. A lot of time wasted there...

This could is good but far more technical than a business leader needs to know. Also, I could never finish the final assignment because instructions weren't clear and the testing app crashed my computer.

The videos were good, but the quizzes were terrible. There were 4 options that meant almost the same thing, but you had to pick the right phrasing. I will search for other courses for this subject.

too many recorded videos of just a computer reading out from the screen & no up to the mark explanation. Videos where industry people were explaining were better to comprehend

Extremely basic stuff with a lot of ads (interviewed people are not in a position where they can be neutral. Also, you can see many of them reading from a script)

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

We were encouraged to sign up for an IBM cloud account which we didn't use at all during the course. Many topics were covered superficially.

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 course was good, but the final lab was very poorly written. It is missing key information i.e. What Port to use, so was not finishable.

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

I did not get my name in the certificate. Could you please check and give the certificate with my name - "TS Praneetha"

The intonation in the female voice is very monotone and makes it hard to voice. Loved the example with the glass board

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.
