I find this course to be the most useful in terms of practical application. Some of the previous courses felt a bit bogged down by the technical aspects, but I guess this may be unavoidable.

The best part of the course is the investigative work though it is an online web research in articles it is done with the vision of the knoweldge acquire through the different courses

If you compare the delivery of the information in parts this course (eg someone reading from a book) to the penetration testing course where you see the guy talking to you. The penetration test course is much better. I really didn't like the delivery of information listening to someone reading from a book. In my opinion IBM can do much better. It really does make a difference in the learning experience. When someone is reading from a book the tone of voice is mostly equal and its harder to follow and retain information even though they have a pleasant sounding voice. Its much better to see someone talking to you as in the Penetration test course. I've taken quite a few IBM courses on here and the Pentest seems to be the best so far. I also took the Google IT specialist course and it was Excellent as for as delivery.

a complete waste of time with nothing but common sense cases. this ended in a capstone project which mine was better than any of the other surface level cases but yet only got a 95 from AI grading. I find the irony of what was expected from us as absurd since none of these case studies during the course had all of these requirements many times missing them completely. if you wanted to incorporate case studies it should have been in there respective course not thrown together in an overally long winded 6 module course. I can at least say this has been the worst course in a awful program. fix your ai grading and your labs it's a joke you can't use your own keyboard and apparently this course wasnt important enough to justify a glossary appreciate it,
