Course content is too good, but I find hard to understand because lecture's audio quality are too bad as I had to refer most of time on transcripts.

I love the course and the teacher teaching methods. But there's a little bit hardness for me to understand the teacher voice because it's not clear

Content was great, however the audio was very difficult to hear and understand. The speakers should use professional microphones and speak clearly.

Material was out of date, audio quality was bad, and some instructors could barely speak English. I've taken much higher quality classes on Udemy.

Informative, but many of the presenters have poor audio quality and heavy accents which make for a difficult time understanding the information.

I was expecting to learn some practical explanation on cybersecurity but couldn't find any which made the whole process of theory quite boring:)

Good introduction to cybersecurity. However, there were many errors in the corresponding text and several lectures are very hard to understand.

Very informative, but the audio quality on some of the videos is poor. Also I think the reading materials provided should relate to the tests.

Presenting the content needs to be improved in an interactive way. Sounds are not good to hear. Content needs to be more clear to understand

It was very difficult. The lecture is difficult to understand. I thought it would be better to explain it in a little more bullet points.

Many of the instructors were difficult to understand, and many of the quiz questions and answers didn't match what the instructors taught.

I appreaciate the content, but the structure and quality for some video (especially those presented by John F McLaughlin) is low quality.

First of all, thank you IBM for this great course. However, the video quality, sound quality, tutorial and slide can be further improved.

The content is good, but the audio quality is too poor, sometimes is difficult to understand especially if you are not a native speaker.

Hard to understand some instructors due to mic quality.

Extra unnecessary details that appear to act as bulk and just prolong the course.

Information is decent but the audio is absolutely horrible. Cannot believe that IBM allows such thing to be published under their brand.

Videos are old, not up to the standards of online learning in 2023. Good information but could be presented in a much quicker fashion.

Відсутність адаптованого переклада українською мовою. Автоматичний переклад не передає нормально зміст. Іноді дуже важко зрозуміти.

Audio quality isn't great and sometimes new concepts are introduced with little explanation. However, I did learn quite a bit.
