The reading link to Week 03's Framework and their purpose is Broken. Please Fix it. Everything else seemed perfect. I would recommend this course for people who think of starting their careers in CyS.

The audio and video quality was horrible and the information given in this course was badly made. I have done mostly google certifications before and it couldn't be compared with this. I hope IBM will renew this course.

Poor presentation and voice quality. No logical continuation of the course ; different topics in the same week and the same topics in different weeks ! Some exam questions are not emphasised in the courses, etc...

El curso es interesante pero la edición, la calidad y audio del video no están muy bueno, no esta a la altura de COURSERA, si alguien pagara por este curso, creo quedaría bastante insatisfecho.

What a shame for such a promising specialization. The audio quality of the recordings is terrible. Can you imagine taking a course over the telephone? I hope they will eventually get re-recorded.

Too poor quality of audio & video. Didn't expect such stuff from IBM. Answers for quizzes are wrong, facts are wrong, everything with this course is just plain wrong. Won't recommend.

This certificate class is hard to get though, the videos are terrible, you can't understand the instuctors very well on the videos and there's no real assistance with helping you.

The course content presentation is too bad, the voice is not legible, the accent and modulation is extermely diffcult to follow. Looks like this is a recording of the recording.

The content was of poor video quality and poor audio quality. It made for a very difficult learning expirience. Imagine someone asking you to cut an onion without a knife.w-f.

The content is from 2018 and some content from before that (we are in the middle of 2024) and after 7 years they have not updated the content... I know IBM can do better.....

Really poor quality course. Low quality sound, speaker doesn't get to the point, keeps having to correct himself... Check out the Google course on here, it's a lot better.

I think the topics are very good but they are outdated with respect to teaching methodology, I think it would be great if IBM could bring out the same course but updated.

the instructors chosen were very difficult to understand and hard to follow at times. the transcription was also often incorrect and improper grammar written how spoken.

Awful course, would have liked to complete but audio is so bad and videos thrown together. Cannot justify paying money for this.I would walk away even if it was free.

It's really hard to follow along with the sub-par subtitles and audio issues present in these modules. Unfortunately I'm going to have to discontinue this course.

sound quality is extremely poor. class information is too broad with very little examples. overall class materials are not concentrated and very disconnected.

Really really poorly done. The video and audio quality of the lectures, as well as the professionalism of the lecturers themselves is downright embarrassing.

Worst audio quality lectures I've ever taken to this date, I couldn't even continue the course.

Please improve audio quality we are living in 2021 not 1921.

This course is not for me. I'm a visual person and need the instructor slides to catch the progress of the class.

Don't like to sit down and look at videos.

Lectures were rough. The information is there and definitely needed; however the presentations are very dry. It was very hard to focus through the videos.

Outdated by about 3-4 years. Blurry videos, muffled sound. Contradictions between course content provided and quiz questions and answers.

Audio quality is garbage and professors are dumb asf, pausing half way through their sentences using that macdonalds microphone
