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.

I liked the class alright, however i could not under what Raul was explaining, I had to redo the lesson many times just get the just of what Raul was saying.

Secondly, the sparkly background was too much.

The instructions on the labs were not the easiest.

Otherwise, most of the instructions were easy to follow

Week Virtual lab instructions were not clear to me

I mostly gave it 3 stars because of the intstuctors. The female instuctor was a lot easier to follow, because she was much clearer and and audible. The main male instructor was fine at times, but the others weren't really good. During their parts I would just read the sections myself. The course was informative and I like the information provided.

Overall I thin the content of the course was really high quality, but it really failed on the labs. The course would GREATLY benefit from walkthroughs for the labs. I couldn't understand at all what I was supposed to be doing for the labs and when I couldn't find something (that was inadequately explained) there was no one to turn to for assistance.

Unfortunately, even though i found the course very interesting, the video and audio quality is very low considering it comes from IBM. I have to say that the previous courses and specialization were immensely better in terms of audio and video quality. That said, it was a good course and i learned a lot thanks to it.

i was expecting a more in depth course but it just wasnt. mostly theory here. but i will say that this is good for beginnners and has given me a certain understanding of which direction should i move forward in. also please fire raul from IBM his explaination is abomidable.

Good course that give good basic understanding. Would have like to have more functional practice Labs. Some practice links need to be edited (rechecked), as they were ending in pages that no longer contained the referenced materials/Labs.

The quality of some of the teaching materials is atrocious, they have serious audio issues. As for the content, the most valuable is in the external links... so it's debatable if the course deserves credit for directing you to them.

La calidad de las grabaciones en los videos es muy mala.

Considero que Python está de más, me pareció que está allí para rellenar. los especialistas en Cybersecurity en general no hacen programación Phyton.

Quite a few errors, dead links and poor audio and video quality. I have experienced way better IBM courses. I mainly took this course for the Forensics part, I learned some aspects of it. Thanks!

Scripting and Forensics were not great. Hard to follow the narrator sometimes, some of the labs don't work, at least on Macs, and some of the links to other resources are no longer valid.

The content was very good. Every instructor has his/ her own way to teach and explain. I strongly recommend to increase the audio because the it is very low and the quality is very bad.

The info was GREAT and well organized, the only real issue is sound quality from Raul. I would advise to please check for the quality of these things before releasing this course.

Several of the videos were difficult to follow due to language barrier, hard to understand presenter and poor presentation skills. The information was excellent.

I was expecting the use of penetesting tools not just the way of making report. All those 3 stars are for the week 4 (python scripting) course. Thank You!!

You should redo the parts with the speaker Raul..there are unessary pauses and there are alot of parts where you can barely here him speak

It's a very good one but theoretical it should be practical so with theory in one place we can implement theory practically too.

Thanks.

It’s a basic/entry level. Most of the videos and python labs are incredibly simple. Affordable in a couple of hours.

The audio quality of the videos in week 4 (python section) is very low, perhaps you might want to improve that.
