I personally learned from the course by 30% of the contents - I was mostly familiar with the topics. Perhaps a sequel to this course will be useful and we can keep learning.

My feedback would be the suggested readings were quite dated (around 20 years ago timeframe). Although we can still learn from them, a more up-to-date article would be more helpful.

The information contained in this class was helpful, but not being able to see the correct answers to incorrect quiz questions hindered complete learning. If there was something I didn't understand and answered incorrectly, I did't have the correct answer in order to further my learning.

The content was excellent where available but there are a couple of assigned readings and that are either not available any longer or are paywalled. Also the feedback on the test did not seem to advance learning and the final project was odd at best.

the quizes were so far from the content and to read over a hundredsof pages for each week was really difficult sometimes I read and didn't even remember everything because it was so much.i have no clue where most of the quiz questions came from.

I expected it to be more specific, it could be named also as "history, beginings and bases of cyber security". Anyway it is very interesting and I consider it very interesting for who wants to begin a career in cyber security

Good lectures and overview but the supporting text book was way too complicated and unhelpful, and the discussion group/TA support was non-existent. I will recommend the content of this course to others with those caveats.

thought this was more of a practical class - but was completely theoretical. also that there was more reading than what professor taught - (professor gave definitions/intro about topic and expected to learn all material).

Beginners have no idea about stack-based buffer overflow attack , please keep that in mind when you mention beginners, it's 0 knowledge about programming, otherwise i enjoyed this course a lot !

Thanks

Have some nice concepts for cyber security, but it is not really for beginners or someone new to the IT field. the final project just felt kinda random, you may have to guess the answer.

This course gives basic terms of security risks in very clear way. Although tests aren't practical. They have some contraversial points. This fact sometimes pushes to bruteforce answer.

I work in IT and have for 15 plus years but info was helpful but the way it was laid out on the last test was very hard to follow and I taken a cone of Test from other places

The teacher never answer any comment, observation or question in the forums. Some questions in quizzes was ambiguous, for example question 9 in quizz of week 3.

it was a little to detailed and advance for beginners, bbut there was good information.

activities should be more interactive,shorter, and hands on.

This course gives a basic introduction do cyber threats, but it is not been updated in a while. Some of the videos linked don't even work anymore.

I gained a little skills and knowledge but I did nothing practically and there are some books I didn't read due to lack of money to purchase them

Instructor was not too good he not able to describe things clearly. He relate every case with example but not understandable to me

The introductory readings were so confusing for a first time student without a background in programming to fully understand.

Several dead links with students in the discussion board needing to provide alternatives

The course was interesting but needs updating annually and the quizzes were not good

good course, however, didnt include as much practicality as i had thought it would.

The course was educating, but kind of abstract in experimenting in my job role

It's a very basic course and it needs to be refined for security analysts

Quizzes do seem a bit harder and more abstract than the study material

Good as a beginner course but not enough practical information.

Videos should reflect current year of 2024 not 2010 - 2014
