The course was great. I would have liked a little more personal exchanges with the lecturer and or experts in the field - also to ask questions. I also missed a bit of the interaction with peers - although the peer grading assignments were a great way to see other students' ideas.
The content of the course was clear and consice and I really enjoyed the videos and learned in the process.
Really liked this course as it put into perspective a lot of day-to-day topics that I have to contend with in my current role. The instructions were clear and the videos were to-the-point and not too long. Great to be able to refer back to the videos for double-checking things before writing assignments. One thing that was very frustrating was needing to write my assignments in Word and then copying and pasting into the assignments window - when trying to type directly into the allocated pane, the cursor would jump randomly to an unknown place, messing up what Id written (even here, text has just suddenly, randomly changed!)
This is one of the best Cybersecurity courses for students and people who wants to start a cybersecurity carrer. The instructor makes an excellent job explaining and giving examples of the main topics, video lessons are longer enough and well produced, assignments makes you really dive into the readings and complementing materials with interesting and real life study cases, so that you will apply your knowledge in real life scenarios. The only issue is the peer-review section, but this is a common issue at coursera platform.
A great starter for cyber security related governnance and its compliance with formation of policies that address real time issues. This course has helped me shape a clear mind map of how strategic alignment works on security lines and how the top down approach of governance has many layers to it. Through this course, I have also learned how cybersecurity policies, standards, and processes function interchangeably.
I want to commend both the instructor, Qasim Ijaz, and the course content. It was tailored perfectly for beginners like me, gradually progressing to cover essential principles of cybersecurity. The teaching approach was clear and effective, making it easy to grasp even the most complex concepts. Overall, it was an enriching learning experience.
The instructor was excellent, very articulate and able to convey compex subjects very well. The class was interesting and gave me great new insights that I had not considred before. My only problem was that if I needed questions answered by course staff, I got nothing after many days, total crickets, which is disappointing.
It is very useful course to beginners who want to learn about cyber security which is most important for any organisation now a days. Case study is very useful to implement the ideas which we have learnt in each module.
Mejorar sistema de corrección de trabajos, se puede llegar a alargar mucho la espera uy a veces se reciben calificaciones injustas, por lo demas un curso excelente que voy a recomendar.
A great course with tons of resources to read and dive deeper in the material. All concepts are presented well, and highly recommend this course to anyone going into the field.
The course is excellent. The pace of the instructor's cadance is a little fast and he hesitates for periods in the beginning, but overall he's very thorough.
The lectures are really good. It is really important for me to be able to get different perspectives in the courses I do. This one does that well. Thank you.
One of the best introduction courses I completed. Rich in updated resources. It requires some dedication and a lot of reading for completion.
It is suitable for both experts and beginners. We will gain a deeper understanding of the topic by completing the task. I think it is good!
