Awful the course is taught by AI lady bot voices with concepts crammed in as fast as possible without exploring anything. no module glossary just a huge end of course one. The labs functioned beyond poorly especially for such simple tasks at least the Google ones usually worked. the honors assignment is a joke making you send screen captures to be graded by an ai and making you grade other assignments. They could have made much better worthwhile labs and especially for the supposed honor cert which in this program why bother. IBM failed to make the Honor role two lousy awful classes in a row so far.

The course cannot be completed due to the incorrect grading system "Final Project Submission: Implementation of Cryptographic Techniques for DataSafe Bank". I flagged the issue and wrote a message in the forums for module 4, but so far there is no response. I wasted several days trying to defeat a non-working system, it is very sad ((((
