The information provided was very thorough, however some actual hands-on labs (like other Coursera Plus courses offer) would help imprint topics better for learners.

Completed the entire Security Fundamentals and Identity Management course and rest of Comptia Security+ assessments completely, yet no certificate granted. If this is the "Free 7 day trial" quality, I'm not spending my money on longer studies.

Sadly, some of the slides discussed during class are missing and some of the resources too. I was unable to get a response to my questions via the forum.
