It's a great introductory course to cloud computing. Maybe more assignments on creating buckets and using the IBM cloud would help the learner to understand more.

Overall excellent. I learned a lot. I would rate 5 stars if textual options were provided instead of nonstop videos. I prefer to learn from written material.

The parts where real people were explaining was fun. But was boring be seeing just presentations. It would be better to read all the text. Faster and more fun.

Felt that it covered most topics, but sometimes they mentioned new things without explaining what they are which a beginner in Cloud computing would not know.

Good, but if their was human interaction or human teaching in person on video would be great. That voice feels like AI generated content. No human feeling.

a bit confusing at times for begineers, videos where there was an actual human instructor felt better than the others on basis of understanding level

Good course for beginners. However, some words/terminology could use extra explainations for beginners. Than it would be a bit easier to understand.

The Course was GREAT. My suggestion is, after finishing each Week add lab practice with a quiz, this can help to understand this course better.
