Great review for Cloud concepts that I needed. Probably would use it once I start studying for some AWS content since not many people use IBM but still a great way to get started in cloud computing.

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 :)

A great course if you are just starting with Cloud Computing. It explains the very basics of Cloud Computing that a beginner needs to know and in a very easy to understand format.

Algo denso en algunas secciones, pero el mayor problema fue que IBM Cloud estuvo fallando durante el transcurso del curos y para hacer la ultima actividad se me complico bastante.

Overall the content covered is good but it felt rushed and too high level in some places. I think adding slightly more details to the concepts would make this course even better.

Overall a very good introductory course. The video presentations are excellent. Also the real use cases presented are very illustrative. Some high-level parts could be shortened.

This Course contain the definitions and meaning for loud computing without involving the using the technology itself. But as a material the content and syllabus is comprehensive

Very informative, but the practical part should be more extensive, it's only a very small part of the course, perhaps can be excused due to being only an introductory course.

Course was insightful but the practical portion of cloud account and object storage should be made more clear and easy to access and their problems should be solved easily.

The course provides a good overview of the cloud and related concepts. However, it is a bit too theoretical and you can easily forget concepts convered in previous weeks.
