The reading link to Week 03's Framework and their purpose is Broken. Please Fix it. Everything else seemed perfect. I would recommend this course for people who think of starting their careers in CyS.

Great course for beginners but it is better if you start that course with some know how regarding to field then it will be really helpful for you to understand what they are trying to say or taught

I don't regret taking this course considering its not long and fairly easy , However i have some notes about this course:

1. If u are new to Cyber-Security this is a good course for u (NOT THE BEST) , i had some background knowledge and it felt most of the times its too basic and easy

2. the information is not presented well , often times too repetitive and sometimes focusing on completely specific and unimportant stuff for an "Introduction to Cyber Security" course

3. assignments are not well put , not really testing the overall understanding of information and focusing more of memorizing it

4. the audio and the visuals are very bad and disappointing considering its an IBM course this should be a high level course , u can see that there is no preparation from the instructors , some of them don't have good language skills which led to them not being able to demonstrate well the information

5. the instructors are really boring to watch , no passion or clear effort from them

overall a great course if u are starting in Cyber Security and want to complete all courses from IBM u should start from this one but it's not enough and u should definitely check some more sources to learn from
