Excellent course that brings clarity to the new world of Artificial Intelligence. I needed to understand why AI was so important and now I know! Thanks IBM and Coursera.

The course does include interesting material and I learned something about Prompt Engineering. Although, the course is very repetitive. I feel like the content could be much better streamlined, focusing on a topic once instead of repeating it over multiple videos, texts, podcasts and expert views. The questions of the quizzes are basic reading understanding. The right answer either is very obviuous or a product name (which I think doesn't make much sense to learn in a course).

las presentaciones no se traducen las imÔgenes , la voz de los audios son monótonas, el entorno de la plataforma para las practicas no es llamativo ni amable el tamaño y color de la fuente, y las instrucciones son muy largas , falta mas didÔctica y pedagogía para estos cursos

This course is basicly common sense. Too bad that people have to teach common sense these days. Nothing new to me. Playing with Dall E was entertaining, though.

It's a rather boring experience. I feel it's hard to focus when reading the poorly presented PPT, or listening to the machine voice without any interaction.

Somewhat useful, but extremely repetitive. This could easily be a single 5-10 minute video to capture all the information.

La temÔtica es muy interesante, realmente necesitamos muchas herramientas desde las TIc y mÔs aún utilizar y maximizar el uso de las IA en nuestro rol como docentes; pero considero que todos estos contenidos requieren de mucho mÔs tiempo para apropiarnos adecuadamente. AdemÔs me hubiera encantado poder hacerlo en una sala con mÔs personas para compartir aprendizajes, experiencias y poder contar con un humano para desarrollar también las habilidades comunicativas orales. Por último como sugerencia, teniendo en cuenta que no somo hÔbiles con el inglés, si ser mÔs inclusivos con nuestra lengua materna (castellano) muchas veces se cambiaba de idioma o videos de los cuales no se pudo comprender mucho porque estaban solo en inglés. Nada como el calor humano y el acompañamiento de un par para optimizar aprendizajes.

This course fails to deliver value for anyone beyond absolute beginners. The content barely scratches the surface ("What is a prompt?") and ignores modern techniques like chain-of-thought or tree-of-thought prompting. Labs use deprecated tools (e.g., GPT-4 examples when GPT-5 is standard) and lack real-world complexity. A missed opportunity,Coursera should retire or overhaul it. 1) Far too basic, 2) Outdated labs/content 3) No meaningful feedback 4) Misleading "advanced" modules

O curso inicia razoavelmente bem. Mas no momento de utilizar o IBM Cloud não tem qualquer apoio. O serviço não funciona para fazer login, o código de uso aqui do Coursera lÔ não é aceito. Se você estÔ pensando em se atualizar sobre IA, definitivamente vÔ para outro curso.

THE IBM Watson AI assistant never worked for me and I could never access it! Repeatedly kciked out and asked to sign in over and over and... I wouldn't recommend this to anyone!
