for this type of training, it is expected to have lectures and the videos are so short and most of the information is reading material.

might as well just post a series of links:(

Videos seemed disjointed. Assignments were marked inconsistently. Did not find the subject interesting but the course did give useful insights into the industry.

A lot of reading material is not very helpful in training a student in the domain.A more detailed video

session would have been more helpful.

Videos are very brief - slide presentations of course outline. One has to depend entirely on reading materials to understand the course.

Poorly made very short videos that do not explain the subject matter, some of the content is outdated.

Out dated, refers to the sites or YouTube, some links doesn't work… Really not worth the time!

There is a lot of self reading material. I think it would be better to add some video lessons

Boring course... useless videos... only the referential resources and exercises are good

Poor video lessons. The course is sustained by the reading material alone.

Very outdated and non interactive content

really... strange. Kind of childish.

too much external references

No useful info for me

Very basic

nice

To course content is relevant. But the course material is poorly set up. The only exception are the questions at the end of the respective modules. 50% of the course material is either outdated or the respective links don't work. The videos with the guest speakers seem to fit only the purpose of advertisement. They summarize key concepts without properly explaining them. The course material is also too much to go through within the given time. One of the ways to get through the course within reasonable amount of time is by checking the questions and looking for key words within the course material rather than working through the material and checking the acquired knowledge with the questions.

DO NOT RECOMMEND: (1) Instructor never responded to emails or to postings in discussion forum re: issues with course; (2) Many of the links are broken to resources required to read; (3) Many of the resources required to read are outdated; (4) Very boring - very little video presentation of material; course is mainly reading 3-4 hours/week of outdated or unavailable (due to broken links) of material and taking quizzes; (5) peer-reviewed assignment is ridiculous; many students do not understand the grading rubric and the grading is very subjective and inconsistent.

This course is terrible. Week 1 is helpful but after that is is just links to other websites with no guidance on what to read. Some of those links go to redundant sources (such as NIST guidelines that have been superceded), the wrong place (another link sends you to the same NIST link), to flyers for companies, or even to other courses (the Open University in particular), or to random poorly assembled pages. None of the materials are created by the supposed author of the course. I will be escalating this to the University as it is embarassing.

Very disappointed with the course. You'd expect a course to have for video support to teach but this course, consisting of Seven Weeks, has nothing more than Two videos no more than 2 minutes long. They just give us a bunch of reading material every week, around 200 pages each and ask us to go through on our own. It's alright the first week, maybe the second, but every week?? Half the links are either Broken or outdated.

The are only a few minutes of videos per week and some reading. Frankly, I feel like this is taking the piss! Nothing to do with real courses on coursera where teachers explain material. Unfortunately I cannot give it a zero stars!

I expected much more. The course material is really weak, did not improve my knowledge about Cyber Security. I am very disappointed, also cos I payed 30 dollars to a certificate. I do not recommend this course

Too easy content sometimes not well explained, videos too short with poor content, some material like NIST docs too "heavy" related to the course level and very useless peer review,

There is no guidance no assignments. In week two it's assumed to read 12 chapters of a book or the program fails to tell the student which chapter to read. Very disappointed

A lot of course content not accessible ... and a lot of reading. It's not what i am expecting from e-learning class. I had expected this course to be more interactive.

Videos way too short, annoying music/animations, lots of stereotypes (floating 0's and 1's, really?).

This doesn't seem like a serious course provided by a university.
