Great Course but the material needs updating a bit.
It was great course; It covers many topics that my universtity avoid in lectures and the usability is topic about of everyone talks about, but a very few actually care about it.
Otherwise great course!

Very informative!
I have a better understanding of Usability + Security , the videos were clear, simple and detailed I have learn small about security and some basics about design, perhaps this training should be renamed to "design" instead security.... Great Course Very informative A rewarding experience because I have been able to learn very valuable information.
Course was very informative, well structured, specially instructor was very competent.

I really enjoy learning about Usable Security G Excellent course and a good introduction to security which also cover real/usable security and an angle too rarely brought up in conjunction with safety around IT systems.
Hope to learn more about Usable Security and one reason is that the author is very engaging.

jennifer golbeck
Professor Jennifer Golbeck did an exceptional job in delivering information, especially in her TEDX lecture when she explained HCI and how easy it is to gather users data and make easy to anticipate personalities and what users likes Good course that covered very useful material.
Many thanks and kind regards to Dr. Jennifer Golbeck.
Very informative and an opener to certain aspect on cyber we normally tend to forget especially privacy policy I would love to work with Jennifer Golbeck in her lab for my P.h.D.
Miss Jennifer Golbeck is a great professor and I hope she achieve more in life.Thankyou Coursera and Miss Jennifer Golbeck The instruction is clear and well organized.

other courses
It connects the technically detailed 'how' of the other courses (cryptography, software and hardware security) with the why.
I hope the other courses are not like this.I rated it one star for a couple of reasons.
I wasn't aware that if you audit the course you were not allowed to complete the quizzes as other courses offer this option.
The other courses in the specialisation are much more challenging and you learn a lot more.
I really enjoy the course and would looking forward for other courses in the specilization.

final exam
The questions of the final exam do not have a clear answer (for instance: they think that a password with 8 random characters is hard to crack, but it would take only a few days with a brute force attack, and also they think that a user chosen 8 character password is more secure than a random one, which is wrong in my opinion).
The quiz exercises are a bit challenging, and the final exam has very good questions, which require careful and independent thinking.
Taking the examples literally might not be the best actionable route to completing a lot of the quizzes and final exam, its mostly theory on how to build sustainable and efficient systems while at the same time ensuring the security of them has the least effect on the usability of the information system or applications in mind.
Quizzes and the final exam were thought-provoking.

software security
I took this course at the same time as "Software Security".
I really enjoyed Software Security, but Usable Security was horrible.
I would NOT have expected to have a weeks long course on software design and usability when my desire is to learn about software security.
I am now in the 3rd week of Software Security, the 2nd course in the Cybersecurity specialization, and am realizing that 2 stars was a generous assessment.
Based on the prerequisites of the Software Security course, the Usable Security course, in its current form, is too elementary to be appropriate for people who have the experience/knowledge required for the rest of the courses in this specialization.
