after knowing the basic knowledge with high standards applied and taught in detail by IBM, so understanding can be achieved. This section is very useful when entering the world of cybersecurity work.

Need to improve on the content and the trainers. This topic could have been very intersting, but the trainers were not good. The way they spoke, the tone, they themselves didnt seem interested.

It seams that the course is made from other courses and talks. The audio and video is not well edited, sometimes not comprehensible and lacks of consistency.

This entire specialization, as far as I have completed, is just people reading off powerpoints and directing you towards other's content. If you are already in a similar field or have a degree in it, it probablywould be of use. If you are just starting out, this course is utterly useless and smells like a cashgrab.

I have not written code nor do they teach you actual practical skills that will get through the job interview. I am finishing this only because they already took my money.

Completing the course depends entirely on other people unaffiliated with either Coursera or IBM. Submitting screenshots and having them "graded" will absolutely prevent me from participating in future courses offered by IBM.

The Teacher is talking so low, no proper explanation, obviously reading out what is on the screen. I am really upset with how low he is speaking, he is a bad teacher. IBM can do better.

although it is aimed at delivering good content it has very bad structure, quality of materials and presentaion. Generally, bad learning experience.

highly unrecommended, it consists of theoretical content only without any practical work or even learning us how to apply it in practical life
