I highly recommend this course for anyone in the BI and Data space interested in learning Spark. The course gives an easy to understand to the framework and applicable hands on examples.

Amazing course that really cuts through the fundamentals of using distributed computing power to analyze and manipulate data. Well organised structure on fundamentals

Неплохое введение в распределённые вычисления с помощью Spark. Порой слишком поверхностные объяснения.

A good way to get started with Spark SQL. You might need some knowledge of SQL to get started with.

Coursera这课还不错,体验实践Spark SQL(在Databricks平台上),以及快速过一遍数仓数据湖的相关概念 —— 毕竟,免费公开课里,能实践到具体编程环境的MOOC真不多了。

There should have been more assignments for practicing. Overall the course was structured good!

Databricks is a great resource but in this course we only brush the top of SQL.

Decent learning material, but can be significantly improved. In my point of view, this course felt like a typical walkthrough and/or advertisement for DataBricks, not on how to 'specifically' use Spark SQL in the context of Data Science.
As someone who is solely interested in SQL (as this specialization specifies), the addition of Python among the codes got me confused, especially that the codes were too alien for me.
To be honest, the total coding activity I've done here felt like just below one-tenth of the coding activities of the 2 previous courses (and this does not even include those activities not available in the free/community versions of the SQL platforms used). Learner involvement in the notebooks should be higher, not just simply running pre-written code.

I was disappointed because I still don't know how to insall Spark in my PC. I tried to install but it doesn't work. So I think it would be better if we could learn how to use Spark without Databricks. And the content is too superficial.

Es un curso muy interesante pero le aumenta mucho nivel que este en idioma ingles, deberían sacar cursos de SQL en español para solo concentrarnos en aprender los querys y no tratar de también traducir y entender lo que piden en ingles.

I believe the course is more focused on the use of a specific application. Some of the videos were lengthy and lacked sufficient illustrative tools. This courses is focus in data engineering instead of data science.

plus points:
detailed notebook & easy to use environment
acceptable slides & course videos
cons:
almost no distributed stuffs at all
not diving deep into spark internals
