Professional insights and valuable course to be honest, I developed my skills and my passion grows now due to this outstanding course and the lab was enjoyable as well. Thanks from bottom of my heart.

Muy bien estructurado, es un paso general por los conceptos de las pruebas de penetracion y respuesta a incidentes. Se hace necesario estudiar por cuenta propia si se quiere profundizar en alguno.

I've learned more than in the Internet videos, the explanation and examples helps to practice and understand how to think, scratch and create a script in Python. Thanks a lot Marcelo Jesus

Good course which gives as much details about administration and infrastructure services . A Big thank you for IBM , Coursera and The instructor for giving a valuable knowledge to me. Thank you
MM
I learn to many skills set into this course and my weakenss also be strong as we course design to motivate my self to learn about deep and extend my knowledge.Thanks to:Coursera Team

you need to improve the way of explanation because it is hard to understand while you explaining the topics and another horrible thing is Rahul explanation because his voice is not audible

Great course with a lot of valuable content worth reviewing for all security analysts! Very much enjoyed all aspects of this course and I recommend it to others!

I would like to say, Thanks to IBM for the Worthy Course. I learned about pentesting and Python programming and so on. Thanks to all teachers for their teaching styles. Very easy to understand.
OA
This Course was mind blowing and quite Challenging especially the penetration Testing and IR aspects. Thanks to Coach Raul and all others who made this possible.
T
The course has really helped me learn lots of things conserning penetration testing and digital forensiscs and also bash scripting. All credits to IBM for their humbleness in teachng very well .
SS
The course provided important skills on penetration test, incident reponse and digital forensics. It has enhnaces and my knoledge in these field and made me confident working with these.

Good for overview of topics. However more graded hands-on lab should be provided (as Google does) instead of just providing links in additional resources.

Penetration testing needs to have lab assignments, just a theoretical aspect of this makes no sense.
Poorly put together course that did not provide the resources to adequately learn the materials. Labs did not have proper instructions, were riddled with broken links and resources and had no method with which you could check your work.
The quality of this course is very disappointing. Incorrect information is provided in the very first video of the course. The lack of ability to demonstrate proficiency to record lectures with quality audio and video leaves one doubting the technical capabilities of the instructor to use even the most basic technology, let alone demonstrate proficiency in more advanced topics. This course diminishes the reputation of IBM.
Whao! I must say that of all the pen testing and python courses I have taken, this is the best of them all. One thing with learning is that as you learn from different instructors, you tend to have a deeper and better understanding of the what is being taught. I STRONGLY recommend this course to anyone who wants to be a top-notch cyber security analyst/professional and with confidence, you will have no regrets. Just make sure you follow the course systematically, read up any provided links or references and you will be fine. DO NOT SKIP OR IGNORE THE ADDITIONAL LINKS OR REFERENCES TO GET THE BEST OUT OF THIS COURSE.
If you hear "Raul will explain", you can pause the video and start reading, it will save you a lot of time
Raul needs a new microphone
The course content was good. If instructor showed more tools for pentest I think then it would be more helpful to learn.
Loved it. A great course for anyone interested in Pen-testing and forensics. Each and every module of the course is perfectly built, and the quizzes make sure that you have leaned something in each part of the module and the course.
partially very poor audio.
the way it was presented wasn't good at all. mic problems and understanding was a nightmare at times.
nice and informative course but the scripting part is audio poor
It was great experience learning this course. This course gives all the knowledge required for a beginner to start career in Cyber Security domain with all the concepts and other documentations attached. Very much Helpful.
I learn to many skills set into this course and my weakenss also be strong as we course design to motivate my self to learn about deep and extend my knowledge.

easy to understand
Great course 👍
you need to improve the way of explanation because it is hard to understand while you explaining the topics and another horrible thing is Rahul explanation because his voice is not audible
I think it is vewry good start for a beginner!
Contents are ok but the quality of the videos are vwery-very poor.
The content of the course is very informative, however it is barely and very fast introduced, in addition the audio of the videos is terrible.
Interesting content but the audio is stilll presented like an online call
some part of the video the audio is very bad
This is definitely 5 stars course, it brought new bird a entry level views which details of the knowledge of the PenTesting, IR and Forensics knowledge, it prepared a take away weapons for a System Security Professional.
Thanks so much IBM and Coursera to introduced the quality course content, thanks.
