I found it difficult, at times, to efficiently cross-reference questions and choice of answer (in assessments) to learning materials or external learning resources due to variations in terminology used, and in some weeks we were responding to questions based on content not yet covered (was covered in a later week).

Good introduction into the entire field of cybersecurity. One suggestion would be to explain or flush out abbreviations (i.e., TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc etc). Inputting unexplained or unelaborated alphabet soup for an introduction course is potentially problematic for those who are entirely new to the subject and field.

Great overview of the field of cybersecurity as a whole, good references and information. Audio could be better in a lot of places. Sometimes difficult to understand some of the presenters. Transcriptions also need to be checked better, as some of the terms are incorrect, based on what the presenter was saying.

The course was interesting and informative, though I am not sure an absolute beginner would fully grasp some parts because technical terms and acronyms were thrown in here and there and I am not sure they were fully explained. The audio was not very good in some videos and some of the transcripts need some work.

Content was decent and provided some good examples. Microphone quality on some of the readers was poor. The still images of powerpoint slides for the majority of the lectures was unengaging and sometimes hard to follow when the instructor was trying to illustrate certain flows and relationships of key points.

Content is excellent but delivery is terrible. Audio for lectures is choppy and substandard. Some lecturers ramble and deviate from outline of discussion, making the module unnecessarily lengthy. Some lecturers are difficult to understand. Transcript of lectures is inaccurate and cannot be relied upon either.

I would have provided a full 5 stars, but the only thing that truly took away from the courses quality was the sound quality of some of the instructors. It was hard to hear or understand at times. However, the course and instructors still provided a quality course! I am actually happy I took this course.

While providing a comprehensive overview of the topics, the course materials lack quality, i.e. recordings are sometimes hard to understand. The transcripts contain also many mistakes or misspellings. I have seen way nicer courses on Coursera but in the end this course is a good teaser to dig in deeper.

I think it is a very good introduction course and it was great to hear from different people. 5/5 for content; however, 4/5 for the platform. Sometimes it was difficult to hear what the instructors were saying, or the image quality was lacking. Other than that, I am very satisfied with this course.

This course provides quite abundant basic knowledge about cyber-security. They have provided enough material and articles for the help of students for further reading and to understand briefly. I want to suggest that some hands-on project should be included in the course for practical knowledge.

This course is a very good introduction to Cybersecurity, it gives you a lot of information on how technology comunication works, how to understand cybersecurity, procedures to work with security, a lot of resources where you can stay updated in cybersecuity and many important concepts.

Good course with great info, but having slides with misspellings makes you wonder how valid the info is. It is also 2022 almost 2023 and the slides and videos are from 2018 or before. How much has cybersecurity changed in that time. So I guess maybe update and proofreads are needed

I incredibly suggest clear audio and professional verbal communications, I kept having the need to re-watch the videos because of people stuttering or not speaking English in a correct way. Other than that I liked the shortness of the course and John who was clear with specifications

Learned a lot, but unable to negotiate Coursera easily. Difficult for me to understand some IBM SMEs and challenged to pull everything together for the first of the eight modules (hoping next module will be less challenging)! Thank you to all that made this course available online.

Presented information is very interesting for beginners. I'm filling that some parts should be updated a little using modern reports and trends. Also, I was sad that can't complete some quizzes by some technical issues. Kindly wait for the update and wish you good luck at all.

The information from this course is fantastic. The instructors have so much knowledge but at times their message was a bit obscured and hard to understand. That, is not a problem since I use the note feature a lot. The problem is the note feature gets it wrong at times.

Good intro for a guy like me that knows very little about cybersecurity. Probably the most useful part to me was all the resources that the instructors direct students to look over. I'll be regularly scouring those websites for updates on the latest in cybersecurity.

This is a great course to give you an overview of the different processes and procedures in cyber-security. It doesn't go into the details of how something is done, by outlines the general roadmap and what factors should be taken into account while building one.

Introduction to Cybersecurity Tools & Cyber Attacks is the first step to understand what cybersecurity is all about. this course explains me lot of things about internal process of cybersecurity responsibilities and work environment. Recommended for beginners.

Very Good Intro to Cyber Sec, cover well the basics. There are some very skilled professionals from IBM passing by their Knowledge , which is quite good and up-to-date. Just not gave 5 stars as some audio are not good quality but nothing you can't understand.

It is very easy to learn about cybersecurity. And helpful this vedios which is included in this course that is help to understand quickly. And .give some more information about key points then is it to good others wish I enjoy and learn lots of . Thank you 😊

Certains cours n'ont pas bien été dispensés et aussi les objectifs de certains d'eux n'ont pas été atteinte. Veuillez noter aussi certains explications et traductions n'étaient pas correspondant. Malgré toutes ces contrainte, j'ai vraiment aimé le cours.

An immaculately presented course with great and relevant animation and goes on to make a good attempt at explaining concepts that are much easier to understand with practical implementation, but otherwise its a great introduction to this field! Thanks!

Very informative and great introduction to cybersecurity. Some of the drawbacks were the low video and audio quality in some of the videos and that a few of the instructors were a bit hard to understand because they may not be native English speakers.

Really informative course covering the foundations. The only 2 things I didn't like about the course were the poor sound quality in some parts, and the fact that some instructors simply read points from their slides without providing much explanation.
