Good introduction and high-level overview of cybersecurity. I love the videos of individuals in cybersecurity roles talking about their experiences and teaching about the importance of cybersecurity.

The course is well paced and they get you comfortable with the topics even though we do not have any sort of prior exposure in this field. It is very good for the beginners who are new to this field

The half of the course is intro what are you going to learn, information about what you have just learned and some encouragement words. There is astonishingly little real knowledge and it is very superficial. I hope it was so just because it was first course in a series.

The first course focuses too much on theory and repetition, which may be overwhelming for beginners that are just starting. It may not be necessary to dive into extensive information about cybersecurity models, domains, and frameworks at that stage.

This course is for absolute beginners. You have been only introduced to basic terminology of cybersecurity, skip this course if you have basic understanding of what is a computer and how it works.

The exam is ultimately well put together. However, you are penalized negatively when you pick too many answers for the " pick all that apply". Why not "select 2" if that is what the question wants?
