This course is aimed at anybody interested in COBOL or or software development. In this course, you will be introduced to core practices, systems, and methodologies associated with IBM COBOL software development. You will learn about COBOL as a self-documenting language.

Good, very high-level overview of a lot of different topics, from documentation, to testing & debugging, code review, ticketing systems, technical support, project management, and Agile.

Brutal. Lazy course construction. It feels like somebody had to put together this course in only a couple of hours.
No lectures, and selected readings are often just promotional materials. Sone links are incorrect or broken. Typos, bad editing, and poor sentence structure in the quizzes make answering more difficult. "Select all that apply" should not have an "all of the above" option - and the other answers should not be wrong. This course is much weaker than the other weak courses in this stream.

1. I feel that the instrictor did the videos in a rush then "a reading"
2. No codding!?
3. Various readings links no longer available
Poor video content
This course needs to be reviewed. Some of the links are broken, the written instructions don't match the images (lab assignments), many of the quiz questions did not match the content covered, and the text contains errors. (For example, "Preventive service planning information" is listed as " Presentative service planning information". The potential for a useful course is there, but it needs some love and attention.
I thought the previous courses in this “specialisation” were lame. This one takes it to a whole other level. It amazes me that a course with ZERO CONTENT can be put up on Coursera. What amazes me even more is that IBM endorses this mockery. Module 1 is "say hello", module 6 is "say goodbye". The remaining modules consist of several "lessons", which in turn are made up of: - 1-2 videos which are between 15 and 50 seconds long, where a glitchy text-to-speech reads a couple of headlines that are allegedly covered in the module (for module 1, it goes something like "In this module you will learn how to: - blah - Introduce yourself (sic) - blah"); - a link to an external resource (the "module reading"), which, more often than not, is not found, other times is behind a paywall, and is often a commercial product’s landing page, popular science writing, or some kind of online tutorial of questionable trustworthiness and poor English spelling; - an ungraded quiz with questions that are often not covered anywhere in the module (i.e., in the external reading, when it is accessible), about outdated products, or wrongly phrased, expecting inaccurate answers or not accepting the correct answer. A blank or supposedly wrong answer to one of the questions will get you the "right" answer in the form of a preposterous recommendation to "revisit the [...] lesson to learn that [expected answer]". The module ends up with a graded quiz, which consists of all the lessons' ungraded quizzes merged together, and a final 10-15 seconds video where the text-to-speech reads the announced modules headlines again. Is this really the best we can expect from IBM? Has Coursera lowered the bar to such an extent since I last took a real, top-level, demanding, specialisation?
Very good course.. I highly recommended. It opened my eyes to a better understanding about documentation, managing bugs, technical tools and project managament utilizing top methodologies. Thank you

Labs was missing in ISDF.
not technical..mostly project management
sicneramente no se aprende mucho mas de lo que por youtuber te brindan, la traduccion en los examenes es pesima( ya que si uno lo esta haciendo en espanol debes de rellenarlo en INGLES, muy mal eso, logicamente siempre sera incorrecta para uno)!
the course is terrible, barely touches the surface of any of the concepts it wants to cover, it really should be part of another course.
The course wasn't optimal. Most of the content was linking to external, free reading.
very short, very shallow
