I liked the class alright, however i could not under what Raul was explaining, I had to redo the lesson many times just get the just of what Raul was saying.

Secondly, the sparkly background was too much.

The instructions on the labs were not the easiest.

Otherwise, most of the instructions were easy to follow

Week Virtual lab instructions were not clear to me

I mostly gave it 3 stars because of the intstuctors. The female instuctor was a lot easier to follow, because she was much clearer and and audible. The main male instructor was fine at times, but the others weren't really good. During their parts I would just read the sections myself. The course was informative and I like the information provided.

Overall I thin the content of the course was really high quality, but it really failed on the labs. The course would GREATLY benefit from walkthroughs for the labs. I couldn't understand at all what I was supposed to be doing for the labs and when I couldn't find something (that was inadequately explained) there was no one to turn to for assistance.

Unfortunately, even though i found the course very interesting, the video and audio quality is very low considering it comes from IBM. I have to say that the previous courses and specialization were immensely better in terms of audio and video quality. That said, it was a good course and i learned a lot thanks to it.

Good course that give good basic understanding. Would have like to have more functional practice Labs. Some practice links need to be edited (rechecked), as they were ending in pages that no longer contained the referenced materials/Labs.
