The videos are great really informative not too heavy and entertaining. However I had significant trouble trying to use the IBM systems to be able to run code. The support is very hit and miss with out dated instructions and the insistence on using slac for support, where response time is very slow. I so fat have not been able to actually try any of the examples.

There are a few issues with Labs not being in the correct spots considering what's covered in the videos/readings, but otherwise a good course. Worth noting that the mainframe is down for maintenance on some Sundays and the Zih_bot does not function properly when the mainframe is down so if you want to start this course, try not to do it on a Sunday.

EL CURSO ES BUENO PARA INTRODUCIR A UN PRINCIPIANTE A CONOCER EL LENGUAJE COBOL PERO NO FUNCIONA PARA INCENTIVAR AL ESTUDIANTE A APRENDER A PROGRAMAR EN COBOL, ES UN CURSO MUY BASICO, REALMENTE CON ESTE CURSO NO APRENDERÁS A PROGRAMAR EN COBOL SI NO A CONOCERLO SUPERFICIALMENTE

It was a great survey of the language and desktop development environment to work with the language. I had hoped for more depth.

I enjoyed the course material, a link to a video set up VS code would have been helpful. I like Jeff Bisti's way of teaching.
