A huge barrier to learning from this course is simply the mic quality. I don't understand how that is limiting factor for this. Very unfortunate because the content seems good but it is such a pain to try and parse.

The course was informative and helpful. My suggestion for improvement would be to increase the quality of audio. It was a bit difficult to understand certain videos and some written transcripts were inaccurate.

Some good content, but a lot of negatives:

Horrible audio quality

The speakers are not all native English, and the transcript is not correct. So sometimes you have no idea what they're talking about

Slides are dull

Great course, taught a lot of background information and basics of what cyber security is and what a job in Cyber security looks like. Would have liked more hand on projects to test methods that were explained.

I'm not gonna lie, with this course I was able to learn the basic concepts and theory of Cybersecurity, but some of the videos were very low sound quality. Coming from IBM, I was expecting a little more effort.

the content is very good but i rate 3 stars because of bad quality of video and audio (even with the max setting at 720p). In several slides its almost impossible to read the text in small boxes, for example.

A good introduction to CS, but the audio quality could be much better - "inaudible" moments in almost every part of the training materials. In my opinion, it is not an honor for an organization like IBM.

It was a good introduction. However, it could have been made more interesting by giving sample cases or providing simulations of the various concepts introduced.The practical aspect was somewhat missing.

The overall program is well-structured, but the quality of audio, videos and subtitles was poor. I had to search for topics on the web almost every time. However, the course serves as a guide quite well

In the Introduction to Cybersecurity Tools & Cyber Attacks certificate I received, my ID number is written instead of my surname. I request that my name be changed to BAYRAM GUMUS in the certificate.

Really good information in this course, but the presentation leaves something to be desired: it is often difficulty to understand what people are saying in the videos. Audio quality is not the best.

The Instructor's voice is not clear and sometimes not even audible and the content of the course is not that detailed and practical understanding of the topic has not be given that much attention.

A lot of the presentations had poor audio quality and use of technical language/ abbreviations in a Beginner course. It is good to get a basic idea but some of the presentations were frustrating.

Some of the links were out of date, videos often consisted of broken English, and sometimes hard to read screen. However still a very good worthwhile course if you are willing to work hard.

There is some PPT slides, images, files, are old with poor definition difficult to read and the audio for some slides wasn´t clear for some instructors, repetitive information chapters.

Bon panorama des principaux concepts de la cybersécurité mais la qualité audio de certains intervenants n'est pas toujours de bonne qualité. Les slides sont assez pauvres en illustrations.

The quality of the images provided is poor. (There is a section where the voice is not heard properly.) The text that is insufficient to properly understand the content is unsatisfactory.

Because the course was moderated by many experts, I don't feel like there is a very good continuation of all the materials. You can sometimes notice terms being replicated here and there.

The course is good in general, but some quizzes include questions and information that weren't included in the videos/slides. also some of the quizzes are buggy. I can't see the feedback.

Audio quality is quite bad, there are mistakes in the questions and the closed captioning isn't correct because of the bad audio quality.. did nobody read through this before publishing?

As someone knew to this field, I really would like to have more application than just reading. I am very good at reading and memorizing but then there are few times to apply. thank you
