The course itself is good. But the amount of material covered is staggering large compared to the previous 5 classes. Why cram so much into this one class! The material is broad enough that it should be covered in 2 classes not 1. And as I've found in all the classes in this certificate program, there are not enough problems given to help students exercise all they are learning. There should be problem sets (with answer keys) given after each week that helps to drive home the important concepts. These could be optional, but I think it is imperative that students have an opportunity to work through more problems to help lock all of this important information in. There should also be links to places to go to learn more about each presented topic.

And the amount of errors in both the videos and labs is really bad. The class preparers (IBM) have done a horrendous job of catching and fixing the multitude of errors in the videos & labs that simply lead students astray. They have to find some method to get all the material correctly updated quickly and I suggested they should keep an ERRATA PAGE that lists all of the known errors that haven't been fixed yet. This would help them to keep an active punch-list of what has to be corrected and allow students to more easily check if a problem they are seeing is related to incorrect materials without having to scrub the forums to try to find answers. And the forums are not run very well. It generally takes a day to get any answers and the answers are not very thorough and in many cases just wrong. Students need a better way to ask questions when they get confused and the answers should be completely explained and relevant.
