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Some of the links were out of date, videos often consisted of broken English, and sometimes hard to read screen.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

Content is interesting and yes, you learn but the audio quality is appalling and in some cases exteremly difficult to understand both because of strong accents and sound quality.

Rich and interesting content, but the overall presentation (voice calls over slide presentations) would have to be reviewed. As well as the grammar in the intended presentations.

Theres a lot of good information but the speakers are often hard to understand and test questions are over stuff that hasnt been covered yet or are extremely confusing questions

Most of the speakers are hard to understand and follow; transcripts have typos, or are sometimes incomplete.

have to really concentrate, and repeat topics, to grasp & understand.

The course is overall quite informative and the basics are taught well but the sound quality is poor. A lot of the parts were inaudible and picture quality was also not clear.

Good overview of information, some videos were hard to understand due to lecturer studdering and text transcript being wrong on some words. Overall solid introductory course.

In some video audio quality is not good.

Most of the slides were from 2018 so it's around 2 years old material.

Some reference links and websites provided are no longer valid.

Excellent theoretical knowledge provided can be rated as 5 star, but there is a issue in claiming the badge earned...Really makes a negative impact on this with this reason.

Improve the mic quality of the teachers. It will be better if we are provide with a unified voice. Nothing against them but too many irregularities while speaking english.

Quality of audio was very poor in some videos; Outdated material (2017); No possibility to download presentations; needs better organization of video bundling/separation

By Uqqasha I

A good course if you are an absolute beginner in this field. However, many topics and concepts are repeated again and again in the videos. Audio quality is not so good.
