Not a 5, as the sound levels in the videos could be improved. In some videos, the initial introduction sound clip is louder than the narrator's voice, which can be a bit annoying.

I cannot believe they really thought it was a good idea to do the narration in the most lifeless robotic voice, this has made the whole experience of learning the basics of cybersecurity more intimidating than it already is. Not to mention that some of the explanations were unclear. It's a bummer because everything else was good.
This course taught me so much valuable information applicable to both my business and personal work. The course is very engaging and well written. The activities and labs were great for reinforcing the information. This course provided me a solid understanding of cybersecurity.
This course was amazing! It left me intrigued. I enjoyed every bit of it from start to finish. It is beginner friendly and was very easy to comprehend. Thank you IBM Skills Network! Thank you Coursera!

الدوره ممتازه وتعلمت الكثير من هجمات الهكر وكيف احافض على البانات
great learning experience for beginners
Just love it!!!!
Just the completed the course, it's the first of many that I want to complete. I took the course because I want to learn cybersecurity as it's one of the fields of IT that I'm most interested in. I find the course has a basic level, which is what I was looking for as I'm a newbie in the world of cybersecurity. I want to keep learning about cybersecurity, so I will take this course as a stepping stone to more advanced courses. Now I have a better understanding of VPNs, malwares and cyberattacks in general. As a suggestion, I think the labs maybe could have some more advanced exercises like how to set up a domestic VPN but at the same time it's a more complex process, that it goes beyond the level of this course. Overall I'm satisfied. Cheers and a happy new year :).

All the course looks like reading titles from Wikipedia about IT. Value of that knowledge is poor.
