For a foundation course, this one was easy to understand, it explained all basic concepts in a fluid way and built up the base for the upcoming courses. I'm eager to move on to the other courses now.

I think this is a great start for anyone who is starting from absolute zero. I think that since I've been toying with the idea of getting into Cybersecurity for 2 years now, it was a great refresher!

Me parece una muy buena base para empezar y refrescar conocimientos de seguridad informática actual. seguimos estudiando! como sugerencia aplicaría IA para traducir el lenguaje a otras lenguas, para una mas facil interpretación.

I do feel that the information i learned was sufficient however in the tests i do wish they provide us a correct answer and the explanation after we are done because i feel that i still have no clue why my answer is wrong

The course is good, but there are some discrepancies in information. I'm not sure exactly which video it was but Hope mislabeled something. It should have been the Principal of least privilege, not what she called it.

The last module may have used some improvement in my opinion,

but overall it was a great learning experience for someone who just started he journey in Cyber security.

The quality of the content was nice, and even though the course was complete theory and I hate theory, the course was not boring at all. It has a nice balance of reading and video to help you learn better.

Pretty good overall, very wordy, I think it would benefit from more demonstrative visuals, such as labeled boxes and arrows being shown on screen. Otherwise, very good, and definitely very dense.

Very high level concepts, examples for further discussion at various points of the course would have helped to solidify it more, however, I understand that the forthcoming 7 courses will do that.

The time estimates seem long. Very good course, for the entry-level person it will be challenging, for the seasoned desktop tech it will be fun and for an engineer, it will be a great refresher.

For an introductory course, more computer practice would be interesting, even if basic, just to show a little about the technologies and their interfaces. This helps keep people motivated.

Good for complete beginners doesn't go much into depth most stuff is either common knowledge or not totally into depth, however it does its job laying the foundation of cybersecurity.

I think the course is clear and concise. It is not overpowering. It is a course for entry level security analysts.

This course is a painless way to begin to explore cybersecurity,

I enjoyed most of the reading and videos, the only thing that confused me a lot was the portfolio part. I thought this subject was going to be discussed in the last course, instead.

I will give this course 4 stars only because once I got the portfolio section there was no explanation or examples of the portfolio just go look it up and complete it yourself.
