    The Course was very interesting and challenging. I've received a great deal of information that I'm sure I may need in the future. However, I sometimes have difficulty following some of the instructors.

    I think it was missing some more practical examples, not only on the IBM software. Overall a good course, good explanations and gives the basics.

    Also, I think the sound quality cold have been better

    Some of the transcripts are not exactly accurate. Also it would really great if you could cut down some information, making it more concise so that it becomes easy to read and understand

    A wonderful and nicely structured course for a beginner. Audio quality isn't matching the standard of other courses offered in coursera which should be improved in near future.

    I enjoyed this course and also learn alot of things about cybersecurity and injection attacks.

    many more are about the network and its security is to monitor and resolve by own.

    In general the course was ok.

    The network explanation and the injection part of the course was very good. A good explanation and presenters which spoke clearly.

    I thought the course information was good. I do think the transcriptions need a little work to reflect what is actually being said by the instructors.
