The audio and video quality of the videos was poor. The voices of some speakers were incomprehensible. The narrative of the subject was often disorganized and complex.

This course is a brief introduction to Cybersecurity with limited resources. However, the material provided is good to understand the basics but yet again, not enough.

Material was well-covered, however the audio was difficult to discern, video slide presentations were at times pixelated and blurry with mis-spellings in the material.

A good introduction into the subject-matter. It is, however, useful if you already have some background. Also, the audio and a lot of the video quality is just bad....

The course is instructionally great, gives a lot of insight on cybersecurity and whatnot, but has a very low audio quality that makes listening to lectures very hard.

The voice is not audible. The presentation of most of the speakers are not up to my mark. The content is good. I have to read the transcript to complete this course.

the videos were kind of improvised from what I saw. With a wholly scripted lecture, animations and audio quality like google's this course would receive five stars

overall, this course is an informative, well structured introduction. the only failpoint is some of the narration being difficult to understand due to enunciation

If you have prior basic knowledge about networking and how things work in cybersecurity field it is not for you,but other than this you can learn a lot out of it.

Quite informative course but the instructor is very bad. Feels like he is just reading from a manual. Not understandable in many places and it gets quite boring.

The audio needs to be updated (audio has to much back ground noise or is tooo low to hear or understand) and the videos are laggy in some parts of the course.

Manchmal konnte man den Vortragenden sehr schlecht verstehen (Qualitatät der Aufnahme). Material ist leicht veraltet (Stand 2018) und sollte angepasst werden.

This will give you a lot of information about basic knowledge of cybersecurity but you need to dig into some technical terms if you don't have IT background.

This course is good for beginners in Cybersecurity. There's no issue about the course syllabus. The recorded voice in video lectures could be a lot better.

It was a good course but the audio quality for many of the videos were poor and one or two were so bad I had to look at the transcript that was inacurate.

The course materials presented was great. However, the audio was poor at times and the text didn't have the correct content when the audio was inaudible.

Good quality content but audio quality during most of the course is not good. Some places the audio and video didn't match even CC and text did not help.

The materials are excellent and the organization is pretty good but some of the speakers really need to review the material before they start presenting.

At times, found the videos difficult to ear. Didn't always understand what was being said. The practice quizzes helped significantly with understanding.

Somewhat disappointed. The poor audio quality and dated materials make for a less than enjoyable learning experience. The course should be updated ASAP.

Quality of videos is average, audio is very bad in several videos and the english pronunciation can be inaudible at times from some of the presenters.

No practical implementation of any of the tools has been given. Theoretically this is the best course with all the information required for beginners.

Audio is bad - garbled and low

Accents hard to understand

Some slides fuzzy

Parts seem dated

Can't really comment on content - just learning the subject

Course content is too good, but I find hard to understand because lecture's audio quality are too bad as I had to refer most of time on transcripts.
