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.

It was very hard to hear and understand some of the people. I think this course needs to be redone with a more professional aproach instead of instructors using webcam mics. A lot of the information was very boring too.

Audio in the course is very bad. Videos are like cut out of another more comprehensive course.

There are reference to topics like "As we discussed in last lecture" and the topic was not discussed in the cut out videos.

The audio is very fuzzy. The experts have a lot of information and knowledge but would benefit from an instructional designer helping them to create a better flow of information and course materials (like slides, etc).

So far a few lessons in, the material is very hard to follow due to many grammatical errors from the various presenters. This results in information that is hard to follow, especially when trying to read the material.

Very theoretical and passive course, I guess its good for beginners (not sure if that is the case it should be made interesting to grasp attention) but can be designed better. Hope the next one will not be so passive.

1) Nothing Practical and Applied Knowledge.My Purpose not fulfilled which I wants desperately.

2) Poor Audio Quality Issue

3) Poor Presentation skill and one of your Instructor not have lecture delivering skill.

The main content is reasonable. Poor audio quality and hard to follow narration on many of the videos. Spelling mistakes littered throughout quizzes. There are probably better introductory courses out there.

Sound quality was very poor and it seems it recorded back in 90's the voice is like that. Moreover information provided very old. Nothing new learn in this course. My expectation was high but its very basis.

I was excited about the course, but the audio in some sections is terrible. I can't learn when the transcript below the slide gives up and states "inaudible". Think I'm going to find another option.

The course is good but the audio quality in some of the videos is very abysmal. I struggled to hear the i structors. I had to read the transcripts which sometimes do not match the instructirs words.

At least the first half of this course is an overview/digest of a textbook. Lots of high level, rather academic textbook-type content that is unlikely to take you very far in real-world situations.

The course itself and what it teaches is really good however it is let down by its production and has some really annoying sound issues. You have to really consentrate to understand some teachers.

Good intro to cybersecurity concepts, but it's sometimes hard to follow due to lots of grammatical and usage errors...this course could benefit from an overhaul to use proper syntax.

quality of slides and presenters really bad. They don't give any effort for lessons. You cannot see who is talking. You just see 2 page slides (mostly blank) for 12 mins video.

There are no exersises and the information is given in a dry manner. You would be better off making flash cards and reading up on information from organizations like OWASP.

Audio needs work, some videos are decent audio, others I had to turn volume all the way up, then still turn on subtitles to be able to hear/understand what was being said.

So much theorical and starts explaining stuff with no a base. I wish it was presented some practical example about either how to hack or how to pentest for example.

Very VERY basic course, mostly just definitions. Audio quality is horrible like really bad and there are a couple of misspelling errors throughout the slides.

Poor Quality of slides and audio, for me as a non-native speaker it is hard to understand the speakers. Should be presented more structured and fluently

Could not understand the instructors. For most, English is not their first language. Many words and key terms were misspelled and unintelligible.

Teachers are not very good at presenting.

The powerpoint slides are not very professional made.

It could be a lot better with some small changes.

I didn't find it very much interactive. I appreciate speakers presentation but looks like they were too tired and forced to have this recorded. :(

the audio is very bad, the speaker is not good in articulating the message or in lecturing the subject, too many ohh, ahh and other mistakes.

From 2018, needs an update! Content ok, but presenters are rambling or not finding correct words. Videos are from lectures. Not recommended.
