The level of difficulty is just right with a lot of foundational information needed for a cybersecurity career start. Some of the online instructors were not audible enough during their presentations.

Some video issues (audio problems, spelling issues, editing), the background web app is not particularly good at "handing off" lessons and you will repeat MANY videos, most weblinks are 404 errors.

I don't regret taking this course considering its not long and fairly easy , However i have some notes about this course:
1. If u are new to Cyber-Security this is a good course for u (NOT THE BEST) , i had some background knowledge and it felt most of the times its too basic and easy
2. the information is not presented well , often times too repetitive and sometimes focusing on completely specific and unimportant stuff for an "Introduction to Cyber Security" course
3. assignments are not well put , not really testing the overall understanding of information and focusing more of memorizing it
4. the audio and the visuals are very bad and disappointing considering its an IBM course this should be a high level course , u can see that there is no preparation from the instructors , some of them don't have good language skills which led to them not being able to demonstrate well the information
5. the instructors are really boring to watch , no passion or clear effort from them
overall a great course if u are starting in Cyber Security and want to complete all courses from IBM u should start from this one but it's not enough and u should definitely check some more sources to learn from

I enjoyed most part of it, but there were several videos with very poor quality in terms of sound and content.
The firewall and cryptography parts were very shallow (even considering it's a simple introduction) and boring and i got better free content from YouTube related to these subjects.
I had a constant feeling that a wasn't getting all the introduction i needed (i always felt that a could not explain what a learned it to someone else) so I paused this course lots times to complete my understandings by reading and watching extra free content outside Coursera, that sometimes were better than this paid course.
I still recommend it because there's a structure to follow and i helps in a first approach. I also recommend this book: How Cybersecurity Really Works, by Sam Grubb -> this book complements this course 1 of IBM.
Even with a 3/5 experience in the course 1 i'm looking forward to start the course 2, for i clearly need some suggested organization to learn about Cybersecurity.
