I find this course to be the most useful in terms of practical application. Some of the previous courses felt a bit bogged down by the technical aspects, but I guess this may be unavoidable.

Content is Very good. Although the Admins could look in to the peer-review process, its very slow and people have to wait days. Of about 100 posts in the discussion forum, more than 95 are people asking why their assignments are not getting reviewed.

Clever assignment. But, the instructions for grading fall short. I have a feeling my comments were not committed when I submitted when I should have clicked to add a comment. I also have a feeling the assignments are not really someone else's actual work. One submission was extremely bad - so bad as to suggest that it was a plant. But, whatever, I did my own work with diligence and that's what matters.

Very good material. It is interesting to create a case study.

It was challenging to find enough material from open sources which can help you built up the scenario.

The Capstone: Breach Response Case Studies course was excellent. I really loved researching and creating a case study. I gained so much from that including improving in researching skills, but also by reviewing peers as well learning so much more about cybersecurity.Definitely one of the best courses into the specialization. It made me realize how much I love to investigate, connect the dots and find answers.

I have a good ground and solid foundation to what we can refer to as cybersecurity incident response process by going through this course. This is a very rich content and very tasking. I learnt how to conduct Incident response during an attack, constituting a response team. I am very happy I participated in this course and cannot wait to have another opportunity for another course on cybersecurity on coursera
