The reading link to Week 03's Framework and their purpose is Broken. Please Fix it. Everything else seemed perfect. I would recommend this course for people who think of starting their careers in CyS.

Content is interesting and yes, you learn but the audio quality is appalling and in some cases exteremly difficult to understand both because of strong accents and sound quality.

Rich and interesting content, but the overall presentation (voice calls over slide presentations) would have to be reviewed. As well as the grammar in the intended presentations.

Theres a lot of good information but the speakers are often hard to understand and test questions are over stuff that hasnt been covered yet or are extremely confusing questions

Most of the speakers are hard to understand and follow; transcripts have typos, or are sometimes incomplete.

have to really concentrate, and repeat topics, to grasp & understand.

course was concept wise good but teaching schema was very poor learners are not eager to learn and audio quality was poor . so i think you will need to improve teaching schema.

The course is overall quite informative and the basics are taught well but the sound quality is poor. A lot of the parts were inaudible and picture quality was also not clear.

Good overview of information, some videos were hard to understand due to lecturer studdering and text transcript being wrong on some words. Overall solid introductory course.

In some video audio quality is not good.

Most of the slides were from 2018 so it's around 2 years old material.

Some reference links and websites provided are no longer valid.

Excellent theoretical knowledge provided can be rated as 5 star, but there is a issue in claiming the badge earned...Really makes a negative impact on this with this reason.

Improve the mic quality of the teachers. It will be better if we are provide with a unified voice. Nothing against them but too many irregularities while speaking english.

Quality of audio was very poor in some videos; Outdated material (2017); No possibility to download presentations; needs better organization of video bundling/separation

A good course if you are an absolute beginner in this field. However, many topics and concepts are repeated again and again in the videos. Audio quality is not so good.

The audio and video quality of the videos was poor. The voices of some speakers were incomprehensible. The narrative of the subject was often disorganized and complex.

This course is a brief introduction to Cybersecurity with limited resources. However, the material provided is good to understand the basics but yet again, not enough.

Material was well-covered, however the audio was difficult to discern, video slide presentations were at times pixelated and blurry with mis-spellings in the material.

A good introduction into the subject-matter. It is, however, useful if you already have some background. Also, the audio and a lot of the video quality is just bad....

The course is instructionally great, gives a lot of insight on cybersecurity and whatnot, but has a very low audio quality that makes listening to lectures very hard.

The voice is not audible. The presentation of most of the speakers are not up to my mark. The content is good. I have to read the transcript to complete this course.

the videos were kind of improvised from what I saw. With a wholly scripted lecture, animations and audio quality like google's this course would receive five stars

overall, this course is an informative, well structured introduction. the only failpoint is some of the narration being difficult to understand due to enunciation

If you have prior basic knowledge about networking and how things work in cybersecurity field it is not for you,but other than this you can learn a lot out of it.

Quite informative course but the instructor is very bad. Feels like he is just reading from a manual. Not understandable in many places and it gets quite boring.

The audio needs to be updated (audio has to much back ground noise or is tooo low to hear or understand) and the videos are laggy in some parts of the course.

Manchmal konnte man den Vortragenden sehr schlecht verstehen (Qualitatät der Aufnahme). Material ist leicht veraltet (Stand 2018) und sollte angepasst werden.
