This course obviously provides immence knowledge of cloud basics, but I feel language rate of videos is pretty fast and videos are just powerpoint presentations. I think you need to give the course little human touch (like: letting a teacher to explain things not just showing slides.

Very well paced content x tests! Congratulations to the team! What I think can be improved is that it helps to have a human face speaking while info is showing up on screen and the times where people showed up I guess some of them lacked a little bit of "on camera" experience.

This course was very informative as an introduction to cloud computing. But this course can be improved according to my opinion. The presentation slides contain concepts that are somewhat repetitive and lack energy. The instructor led lectures on the contrary are very good.

It is little difficult to understand everything by seeing the power point presentation and listening to it. It would be great if the key concept would be explained by using a real time example. Overall it was a really good to understand and learn about the Cloud basic.

Although it provides complete information, the course is simply a voice reading a lot of dry concepts from slides, making it difficult to grasp the main ideas or visualize how those concepts actually work in real life. It's no different than reading an article online.

The course does a good job introducing Cloud Computing and reinforces each section via quizzes. The peer review of assignment at the end is a bit irritating.. I got a 9/10 even though there's nothing wrong with my submission, but there is no way to follow-up on that.

Good basic overview class. I really wish there was a way to slow down the speed of talking. I do a lot of pausing and going back and because of that, the class takes longer than the minutes listed. Overall, a good intro course and would recommend.

Overall really good course. Little mistakes in traduction to spanish and some things weren't present during the explaining of the subjects. I had to search some things before taking the exam because they were not included or briefly explained.

The only thing I can say negatively about this course is the flow. You really have to read ahead to get what you are supposed to do. It is also difficult to complete when you are supposed to review peers assignments and none are available.

I do not like the peer review requirement of the course. I received a lower grade than I deserved. In addition, this is a self-paced course and I should not have to wait for someone to grade my submission before I can move forward.

This is a great foundational cloud computing course to understand the key consideration in a cloud environment. This will provide a solid grounding for deeper learning of specific cloud provider offerings. ex. IBM Cloud, AWS, Azure

The IBM people who appeared on the materials were superb, easy to understand.

The materials were a little compact for me, however i think they were prepared just as properly as they should.

All in all it is good. I learned a lot.

The course is clear and interesting. I am a bit concerned about the use cases, where IBM cloud exploitation performed by sono companis is told: they are too many and in some cases they provide details that are a bit out of scope

It had some mistakes here and there, as well it did get boring with how bland the explanations were, but it still offered a lot of useful and structured information making it not too hard for the consumer to understand.

Course should be explained more understandable manner. I have to watch a video couple of time to get a good grasp, the course explaination is fast which makes it hard to understand all the theoritical knowledge.

Very Good, gives you an introduction to cloud computing and what it entails. It mentions the big players within the space and mentions the available opportunity there is for developers in the near future.

I would have liked more assignments, one was not enough. Another thing that I disliked is that other learners grade my assignments. My assignment wasn't properly reviewed (lost point for no reason).

well this course is amazing overall but if the instructor was on the screen and use some animation in the video it will be great and second the playback speed of the instructor in little bit fast.

Overall is a good course. But it is also suggested it would be better to provide PDF slides for review after the video and the subtitles shall be adjustable for its transparency and font size.

The peer review assignments seem to be a bottle neck everyone on the forums seems to be begging to be reviewed and I am hoping I don't have to wait long before I can finish this and continue

The course was quite informative and I had an excellent overall experience. But I feel that the peer assignment correction need to be cross checked as I am wrongly marked for correct answer.

Absolutely loved the videos featuring experts explaining in a very concise and easy to understand manner. I would enjoy more of these as opposed to the standard text and graphics videos.

A bit fast paced narration given the relative complexity of the topic, especially for a beginner. I had to supplement it with other Youtube videos to clarify some concepts. Still great :)
