Very solid course. Quick overview about almost everything you need to know at the beginning. A lot of useful links with additional material to study. Thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge, indeed!

most of the lectureres are very difficult to understand so I had to read insted of listening to them. For the subject I didn't know at all, the explanations were very unclear and difficult to understand.

my most challenge is to understand what they are saying. In the intro video it was perfect but the actual lecturers are very difficult to understand. As it is a new subject for me it makes the difficulty triple.

as I have already started the course I will finish it but expected much more from IBM.

these people might be geniuses in what they do, but as in the case of teaching something in English, I find them not that good.

AGAIN......Extremely poor quality video and audio. Very surpised at IBM for delivering such poor qaulity content and also dissapointed in Coursera allowing such poor quality content. I will would not recommened this course. Save your money and hard earned cash.

This course is horribly boring. It feels like it was created in the 1980s. There is no entertainment value and the audio is terrible. I can barely understand the presenter and I'm just looking at some slides.

sound quaility is aweful not what i would expect from a big name company like ibm. Often times i had to rewatch video and it lost my attention. audio sounds if they are recording in their basement. Terrible.
