What I liked most about this course in comparison to others is the added video of the presenter next to the slides content. This helped me focus and absorb the content better.

The Penetration Testing portion had good examples with Links to use when we actually do it.

Python scripting is just beginner level & can be advanced if possible.

Incident response & Forensics are moderately good.

Muy bien estructurado, es un paso general por los conceptos de las pruebas de penetracion y respuesta a incidentes. Se hace necesario estudiar por cuenta propia si se quiere profundizar en alguno.

Good for overview of topics. However more graded hands-on lab should be provided (as Google does) instead of just providing links in additional resources.

Great review of Python syntax, some Java, and forensic cybersecurity. This has made me particularly interested in this as a possible career path.

The course contents and the reading materials are a good introduction.

One of the course audio was not clear. hence the reduction in rating

Subject was perfectly presented just that I was hoping for some more examples and practice script for python specifically for Pen-testing.

Great course and really got to learn a ton of stuff! Would have been more helpful if hands-on demos were included in some of the topics.

This course was a informative course for me. I learned lots of information but the audio parts was poor. It was hard to understand.

More video lectures, Lab exrcises(Penetrating testing practice lab simulations) are welcomed if you can include in the course.

Great content, however, the presentation can be improved. It is not always easy to follow and sometimes not clearly explained.
