Personally, I've found that the knowledge delivering method should be redone in a more attractive manner. Concretly, the fact of giving too many texts and theories in the slides easily make students get bored and lack of motivation to continue listening. For such kind hands-on courses, we need more and more practical exercises instead of too many theories lectures without showing any demo neither coding in the slides

To me, this seems like general BS full of buzzwords, but you won't learn anything practical anout how to use these tools

It's very hard to follow a bot's voice. Not at all interactive. A machine keeps speaking at a speed. That's not a way to learn something.

IBM stopped to maintain/support it's platform where the jupyter exercises are hosted since more than 1 year !

It's a true shame, we discover at the end of the formation than it is impossible to finish it...

It is a great course on the theory part but there is no practical part " I guess they was depending on the next course in the specialization", also it would be better for more non robotic way in delivering the lectures.

Too dry and technical plus I couldn't get some of the codes with the notebook to work. There is a better video especially for Hadoop on Udacity that gives a much better explanation and I do hope you try to make the material more digestable. Each video is trying so hard to cram as much information into it as possible without giving the students much time to understand what is going.

Since I already had a previous banckground using Spark this course refreshed the theoretical foundations about its main topics: RDD, parellelism amog other. It was good to remember the way Spark works. On the other hand I must say there are some troubles with some labs environments where is not possible to work on the practical exercises.

Good course on the theoretical concepts needed to understand these tools. However, there is not much practice.

It is Presentation deck with AI bot giving Voiceover narration. No one really teaching anything .

I found this course very interesting, great for an aspiring data engineer! It starts by introducing the concept of big data in general and then goes into more and more detail, analyzing Hadoop and Spark in depth. I highly recommend it!

the lecture was clearly understandible and I feel very gratefull to have this lecture

thank you it was phenomenal😊

All the thinks I need to know about Big Data, Spark, Hadoop and Hive and explained in details

Fantastic blend of theory and practical (labs). The labs are short and have concise material.

well-structured course with comprehensive content and practical skills

leesons also the time i spend was unnoticable thank you so much

Excellent introductory course to big data, spark and hadoop!

Muy util curso, sin embargo fue complicado es muy teórico

thank you so much , i really enjoyed the course

Excellent training and documentation

Very helpful in future

excelente informacion

excelente explicacion

Such a great course.

easy understanding

Good course
