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.

For understanding the basic concepts of the Cloud Computing, this course is very good. But there are some concepts which needed to be explained in simpler manner.

It's a great introductory course to cloud computing. Maybe more assignments on creating buckets and using the IBM cloud would help the learner to understand more.

Overall excellent. I learned a lot. I would rate 5 stars if textual options were provided instead of nonstop videos. I prefer to learn from written material.

The parts where real people were explaining was fun. But was boring be seeing just presentations. It would be better to read all the text. Faster and more fun.

Felt that it covered most topics, but sometimes they mentioned new things without explaining what they are which a beginner in Cloud computing would not know.

Good, but if their was human interaction or human teaching in person on video would be great. That voice feels like AI generated content. No human feeling.

a bit confusing at times for begineers, videos where there was an actual human instructor felt better than the others on basis of understanding level

Good course for beginners. However, some words/terminology could use extra explainations for beginners. Than it would be a bit easier to understand.

The Course was GREAT. My suggestion is, after finishing each Week add lab practice with a quiz, this can help to understand this course better.

There were a few typos throughout the course. Also, multiple students were unable to access the final project in the beginning of the course.

The course is a little more on the intermediate side cause understanding the core concepts was a challenge for a beginner to Dev Ops like me
