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.

Module 6 was hard to navigate. Some links would take you to pages unrelated to the topics. I love learning by doing research but in this instance, it was not easy, ended up googling for answers. The ungraded plugging with Kai, is okay. It would be nice to know what all the copy-and-paste code actually means. The tutorial how-to is great, but the explanation of why the code works/how it works was not given.

The course is great. Instructions and video content are very good. But I really have an issue with the community reviewed exam process. If the person reviewing my work does not understand the question properly, I get wrongly marked (and I did get wrongly marked!) and my grades get affected even if I understand the questions and answer everything correctly. And there is also no scope to negotiate.

Being a 1st year engineering student, I thought this course would have some topics that I would need help understanding. But that wasn't the case at all, everything was explained in simple terms. It didn't take up much time each week either. The practice quizzes were very helpful too, because we had multiple attempts so I could go rewatch videos in order to get the concept well-understood.

A glossary would be helpful for beginners, as some of the videos use terms and phrases that can be confusing to beginners. For example, I finally had to Google "Kubernetes" 3/4 of the way through the course because it kept coming up without any definition (at least, not any that I noticed/remember). Overall, this course was very helpful in increasing my understanding of Cloud Computing.

Very informative. It covered general cloud knowledge and foundations rather than just a select one. However there were some presentation mistakes where text was off screen/missing and some of the English or descriptions did not make sense. I believe that one of them was in Week 5 with the Target and Roles in access policies part.

From the point of view of a beginner in the cloud world, this course offers a lot of information about the cloud, how it works, and how it is used in the real world. I see that the course lacks real practices, but I guess as the name suggests, it's just an introduction to the world of cloud computing. So, it's good!

I felt for an introductory course to start the IBM Full stack course for someone with little experience there were a lot of terms used throughout the material that I was not familiar with and it made me feel way behind the curve. The material was good for what was presented and I learned a lot.

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.

The course is very good for beginners, I am one, I am currently trying to switch career and started learning about Full Stack Dev and Cloud app Dev, this is a good start (or at least the course made me feel so)

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).
