This course is extremely boring and monotonous. First of all, in every single video, the same annoying generic background music plays for the entire duration, and it is extremely annoying. Additionally, the voiceover sounds very robotic, and the presentation slides are bad as the voiceover reads the bullet points word-by-word. If you are doing the IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate, this course will bore you, and it is not significantly related to the other courses in the certificate. I do not recommend this course nor the IBM Full Stack Software Developer Professional Certificate in general. I have cancelled my subscription, and I am now doing Meta's Back-End Web Development Professional Certificate, and it is so much better (not an ad). There is a real person speaking to you face-to-face, and when necessary, animated diagrams pop up. Again, not an ad, it is my own personal opinion.

The course appears to be cobbled together from a mixture of promotional material, internal training modules and some modules that may have actually been designed specifically for this course.

The discussion board is absolutely littered with people having problems accessing the IBM cloud to complete their final assignments as it appears the trial codes that are supplied don't play very well with the actual cloud suite. Overall this is an almost comically bad introduction to what is supposed to be a 12-part full stack development course.

Yikes... Where can I find the equivalent course sponsored by Microsoft?

Course material is presented by text-to-speech which wasn't engaging at all. The 4 or so lectures that were done by actual people were much better.

The peer review system for the final assignment isn't working properly - it asks me to review "peers" that submitted their assignments almost two years ago, or even submissions from deleted accounts. Meanwhile there are dozens of posts on the forums asking for people to review their submission or re-review because they were unfairly graded 0/10.

The first part, it seemed that the point of cloud being more cost effective was drilled so much into my head, it felt like the course was trying to sell me the idea of cloud rather then teach me about it. Also the amount of time IBM was being mentioned as a provider also just made it feel like a sales pitch. I understand the course is from IBM, but it grew quite bothersome
