The course is too long for just an introduction. Only the third week is interesting. The quizzes are hard because you must memorize the slides.

I thought the material was really relevant and timely, however, it would have been nice to have some more assignments to help internalize it.

Very basic stuff. It's nice to have a very easy, very general introduction to the thematic, maybe it's not worth so many lessons though.

We get a superficial introduction to tools used in the big data field, but all in all, the course feels a bit like a catalogue.

It was very good until the last part of the course, when you have to install de VM and run hadoop. I found it very unclear.

There should be some reading material to assist learning. The course was too expensive for the small content it provided

I'd recommend this course be taken as audit. Doesn't add specific value to your skill set! But, it's good to know :-)

Very long lectures. Can be short with more examples. Felt too many jargons in the very beginning of the course

I was hoping for something more in depth but if you don't have any basic knowledge this course is right for you

A lot of theory, at a quite slow rate. I hope we will go deeper in the following courses of the specialization.

Great for basics, but needs to be updated. So much of the material was from 2013-2015 and cites "by 2020..."

Data presented are bit old. The newest data and trends will help specially for highly changing technologies.

Too slow and broad for technical guys. Ok if you have really no idea what is big data or the concept behind

It was very elementary and buisness oriented concepts. I was expecting more content on technical aspects.

I suggest to have best support of the technical exercises. It is difficult if you do not have experience

thanks for the efforts of making this class, but I feel like the first 3/4 of the contents are tedious.

Good introduction to big data. I would prefer that the hadoop lesson have more practical exercices;

Should spend more time explaining the commands in hadoop and also have more practical exercises

Good course, but peer-reviewed assignments make it difficult to learn from feedback.

Content is a bit outdated, and statistics, course materials need to be updated.

Good course if you do not have any idea about Big Data and the technology used.

Quite basic, i would like it more if it provided a more background on hadoop

It's a good introduction, but more optional hadoop exercises can be added.

A good summary about big data basics. Well structured. Very good course!

It would be good if more explanation and more examples are demonstrated.
