A lot of repeated information, videos werent very clear and as a person who reads instead of watching the videos the speakers didnt follow clear learning styles/ objectives. Probally wont finish this certificate because of how hard it is to follow along. The information couldve but into two weeks and with less redudancy.

Unfortunately is a classic IBM course, bored and without teaching dynamics. Is just a bunch of slides that are read from someone Could be replaced by a book. Is clear how IBM is loosing the presence in a world that have evolved, keeping only the brand and fame.

Sorry but in a word is terrible.

Inaudible! As a result, the transcriptions are confusing, and even contain misinterpretations. Regarding the substance, this is not a training but a compilation of conference excerpts, so it's confusing. Experts are rarely good educators. I believe this course is very bad for IBM's image.

maybe useful for manager, or as an intro to security for non technical staff. Not so much for someone looking to actually do the work of cybersecurity, in my opinion. Audio quality sincerely needs to be addressed. It is horrible. Accents and poor audio quality do not go well together.

Content is sparse without a clear flow. Some times acronyms are not explained. In the videos, the audio quality is poor as well as the quality of the slide. A link about one of the most interesting documents has no content. I found it quite boring and not worth the be followed.

The other classes I took from Coursera were outstanding; this class is worse than any required training I was forced to take while in my Government job. I am dropping the class only after the first set of lessons. Reading PowerPoint charts is NOT training.

video quality is very bad and the sound is poor. barely can hear what the instructor is speaking. In some videos, the instructor themselves look confused. not expected such a quality from coursera which infact being collaborated with IBM.

I started the course but the quality is very low, the audio is terrible and the written content full of spelling mistakes. I have cancelled my subscription to the rest of the course, I expected better from IBM and Coursera.

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.

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.
