Part 1 of 4 courses of Introduction to Cyber Security Specialization The following points outline my reasons for discontinuing this course: • Course One's Challenge for Beginners: If coding is a foreign language to you, you will find course one very challenging. This was so unexpected in an Introductory course. • Course as Advertisement: The entire course felt like a long advertisement for books on Amazon (rather costly). • Inaccessible Reading Materials: The reading materials should have been made available for download via PDF for free. • Unengaging Content: The reading material was dry, boring, and the opposite of enlightening. • Challenging Presentation Style and Interviews: While clearly knowledgeable, the instructor's delivery style was difficult to stay engaged with. Additionally, the interview segments, which had the potential to enrich the material, often lacked clear structure or connection to the course content, making them feel more like filler than valuable learning experiences. • Lack of Downloadable Slides: The slides should have also been made available for download via PDF. • Manual Grading Hassle: After much frustration, I had to contact Coursera Customer Support to have the final quiz manually graded. The platform marked answers as incorrect without offering any explanation or pointing to relevant material for clarification. This lack of feedback made it impossible to understand mistakes or learn from them—especially frustrating given that other Coursera courses offer this simple but essential feature.

sinceramente no recomendaria este curso a otras personas ya que el curso se centra en la compra de 2 libros pero al ser cursos dados por nuestra empresa u otras empresas a sus trabajadores deberian de dar herramientas o lecturas libres y aunque lo pongan opcional estuve investigando y en el libro que menciona el maestro se basa en su metodologia del curso entonces no lo recomiendo, entiendo que el maestro sabe bastante pero deberia de enfocar su enseñanza con recursos libres o proporcionar las lecturas de su libro para entender los temas a profundidad

pretty garbage to be honest this teaches you little to nothing of what cyber security is, and it is presented in such a dull fashion that it is impossible to maintain focus. the only actually interesting things are some of the TED talks that are involved in the course. the administrators of this course are MIA to the max and the tests are created with the soul purpose of confusing you not actually testing any knowledge you might have gained during the course

The Instructor and course contents are fantastic. The lack of care when presenting the course contents is 2/5. There are so many errors that it's hard to conceive how this course is atleast 5 years old, I think its fair to expect that. No feeling of quality or care in that regard.

Upon continuing it can further be said that there has been zero contious improvement, that the teaching staff is non existant, there is no feedback for quizzes. Real shame.

Not for beginners. You need to be aware of coding and programming Poor videos, quite short, unimaginative and unhelpful. Suggested material leads you to Amazon to buy the books.

Not much more than some references to good primary sources to study Cyber Attacks. Demonstrator was a little too informal with his approach.

As a beginner, I was hoping to get an overview of this field - I found this course to be full of jargon and word trickery.

This Course seemed different from other cybersecurity courses i have tried learning.

the instructor is speaking to me as if i know what he is talking about....

just do the google cybersecurity course

I thought it will be more practical

not helpfull

Boring
