It is a good introduction and the speakers are very knowledgable but I think that the format of the presentations is not very engaging and the audio is always awful.

I wish here was more on OS. I am not sure how much of OS knowledge we would need in the field. I will take an OS course to get a good handle of the subject matter.

A good introduction, but it didn't seem like all the information was useful, and I didn't learn as much as I thought I would. However, it is a good enough course.

Good overview class; excellent for beginners. Video quality a little choppy at times. Second week's workload seemed unbalanced to the other week's requirements.

It was a great journey indeed, however, I recommend that the team of instructors work on their video editing before publishing it on the site for public Access.

This course helped me understand security from a corporate point of view, practically, rather than attacking problems theoretically like I do for a PhD.
