It was so so grateful being here , I loved it course so much , as it provided all the concepts very clearly , I would also recommend all other to have this course and gain knowledge provided by IBM.

Great review for Cloud concepts that I needed. Probably would use it once I start studying for some AWS content since not many people use IBM but still a great way to get started in cloud computing.

Good info but too broad for it to be useful. Definitely a sales piece for IBM Cloud

This didn't feel very much like an intro course. The pacing of the (probably Watson-generated) videos didn't stop for a second to let students reflect on a lot of new information coming at them, the final exam was impossible to replicate outside the lab environment and didn't do much to ease new people into things at all, and the light board videos were neat, but it was hard to distill which information from them would appear in the quizzes. While previous modules in the IT support certification were pretty cut and dry, this one felt like the lyrics to "Mission Statement" by Weird Al Yankovic; just a hodgepodge of business buzzwords and jargon that get in the way of telling students what Cloud Computing is REALLY all about. It almost felt like a cult, actually. I get that it's the future, but chill, we're here to learn, not buy enterprise cloud solutions.

The peer grading is complete and utter trash. I had to completely redo an assignment because my peer assessor could not be bothered to actually read my submission. What's worse is that there's no control for this at all. There's no way to contest a grade. There's no way to flag the reviewer as being abusive or lazy. All you can do is resubmit the work and hope the next person takes it seriously.
I have a full-time job and a part-time job. I have a family. I'm taking graduate courses. I don't have time to waste because a core part of the certificate requires me to trust other people that don't take what they do seriously. It's ridiculous. It actually has me reconsidering where I want to spend my money. I did not have this problem when I did my Google Certification on Coursera. It seems unique to IBM courses.

For the vast majority of the course I was listening to robotic-sounding recitations of poorly-written texts. A ton of jargon is thrown at you at once without proper explanation. Any knowledge gained by someone like me, who has no experience in business or in the cloud, is vague and superficial. Too few concrete examples and too many abstract concepts explained in theory leave the innocent participant frustrated and helpless. There are not enough words to describe the pedagogical catastrophe that most of this course was. However, when actual professionals presented a topic, everything was so much clearer and more interesting. I appreciated those parts, but they were only a small fraction of the content.

i wish i could give 0 stars.progress is held up by a peer review assignment that is on material that is NOT taught. One is expected to automatically know how to use ibm without it being taught at all.The name is mentioned in the course and that literally is all that is covered ion ibm cloud and creating instances. This is unfair. This is not taught and there is no way to know what to do without it being taught. I did not enjoy this class at all.i feel that all of my hard work is wasted because we are required to do something that is not taught in any capacity. 0 stars.There is also no way to contact the instructor. It really is terrible.

I can't create an IBM cloud account.
It sends me the verification code, so it has no issues with my email.
I've tried 4x, posted on the forum, talked to the bot to no avail for suggestions on what to do.
It just tells me that it's unable to create my account with no explanation as to why or how to resolve it.
I guess I'll have to cancel.
I can't believe that there is no one, no way to fix this!!! No one responds on Twitter, or on the forum here.
Wow. I can't finish the course, and will unlikely ever be taking any others on Coursera, and will be warning people not to take any from here.

To complete the course you need an IBM cloud account, which many students including myself were unable to sign up for due to an unidentified error with IBM. There is no course support for this, so you will be stuck waiting for it to be fixed, and the only advice given is to contact IBM support. It seemed like a good course, but until they can get a reliable, functioning cloud provider attached to the course it seems like some students won't be able to progress past the earliest stages.

They ask for an IBM Cloud Account and it was impossible for me to get it, the code they give you doesn't work, tried with 2 email addresses and tried with 2 different credit cards and nothing works, you only get a generic error message that says nothing. I've learnt 2 things: don't do this course or any course by IBM and don't use IBM Cloud in the future.

The course is too wordy for non-native person , and it's unnecessary to use that kind of literature , It's hard enough to grasp the concept then I had to check the dictionary every 1 minute !
and grading system for the last assignment is just not right ! not everyone is honest about their doing and they just push 0 points for completely correct answer !

This course highlights everything wrong with the Indian education system. Half the course is advertisement about IBM services and the other half will bore you to death. Please audit the course and then pay for it. It's not at all worth the money if you really want to learn something.

Awful! Shame on IBM. It's not a course. It doesn't teach anything; it's just an advertisement for the cloud. One question for the staff that created this course: Have you ever seen an educational course in your life?

Terrible! When you are stuck, there is no body to assist you. I truly hope I don't face similar problem in the upcoming course. If that's the case, I will quit it and take the Facebook course. Tired of it already!

Don't Pay to take any of these courses until IBM Full Stack Developer Certification Course has been updated. There is a new version with 13 classes, and its pointless to do the 12 course version.

During issues (like creating a IBM Clout Account), no help can be found, meaning you can't progress the course but still get charged.

Overwhelming amount of information and unnecessarily specific questions in quizzes. There are better ways to learn this.

Due to the fact that setting up a IBM cloud account is extremlemy frustrating this is the worst part of the course.
