Introductory course for beginners. I personally felt it should MapReduce and Spark should have been explained in more details. The first 3 weeks are theoretical and well explained but the last part required more detailing.

Great course. Some parts are too theoretical, but unfortunately needed to properly understand. The last practical parts really put you in touch with the tools to get a feel of how they work and what you can do with them.

In general, good course for beginners who wants to start getting familiar with Hadoop ecosystem as the course is covering majority basic knowledge. I would improve this course by adding more practical tasks.

Solid course on Hadoop. Even though many fellow-students complained, I learned quite a lot from this course. There are some errors/issues in the lectures but I believe the next sessions will be improved.

Very detailed , thorough introduction to a lot of the Hadoop ecosystem. Nice explanation and assignment to get a feel for Spark. At times a bit dry but altogether a well structured and taught course.

Em certo momento a estrutura do Cloudera para de funcionar de acordo com o curso, precisei reconfigurar todo o sistema, independente das orientações daqui, para conseguir desenvolver as atividades.

This course gives a nice introduction to Hadoop basics. Unfortunatly, i faced many issues to work with cloudera VM and some commands in tutorials are obsolete. Thank you very much for your efforts.

It's a good introduction to Hadoop Platform course, but if you want understand how to make sophisticated programs (improve your coding skill) or how to create Hadoop cluster it is not your course.

Great course with great explanations. I just want to suggest to use more visual examples during your explanations, I mean, it would be nice to see live examples of code and executions running.

Good introductionary course to get familiar with Hadoop and Spark.

Could dig a bit deeper. It's only 5 weeks long, which accounts for half a trimester. Two of those makes one full size class.

Great beginners course. Could be somewhat deeper, and probably longer, though. Maybe more lessons about map reduce and hdfs, more lessons on hive/beeline. But, nonetheless, a great course.

The presentation of some of the lecture materials was quite bad. It'd help if you already had some foundation. It did help me reinforce my understanding and I did learn something new.

I am an experienced Software Engineer and programer. The main goal for me was getting to know the core principles of Map/Reduce. Most of the time I spent time struggeling with Python.

Covers the basics well, but lacks depth and integration between the weeks. E.g. it would be nice to see how to use Spark + HDFS together and what the efficiency considerations are.

Very good overview, but not extremely in-depth. It's a great course to get an understanding of the concepts and you can investigate deeper later into the topics that interest you.

Introduce fundamental knowledge related to some big data platform.

It's good for the beginners.

I hope this course can include some other platform , such as hive and Hbase .

Despite the issues, probably due to configurations and commands that are outdated now, I have learned what I was looking to learn. Content is approchable by a beginners.

I don't think the answers of quiz are accurate. Some answers may be true in some cases, but not in others. Difficult to choose, even review the videos and do some google.

This course does a very good job at explaining key concepts however some of the quiz questions are not clearly answered in the material. Be sure to take detailed notes

Very good overview course.

I didn't like the sample data for shows/channels, but it worked still. Perhaps there's a better example we can use for the assignments.

Course was good. Instructors/creators not available or reachable for questions. Students need to be told they need to have a basic programing or Python knowledge.

Excellent place to start learning Hadoop! It was a bit advanced at times for me but I could figure things out after reviewing the course materials 2-3 times.

The course is a good introduction to the Hadoop world. If you already know a little Hadoop is better. Python knowledge can also be useful for passing tests.

The questions for the last quizzes were not discussed in the courses. Also, the subtitles can be improved (a lot of times they were mismatching the talker).

Covers basics for Hadoop and Spark. However, there is a need to revise the course to include latest updates in Spark framework as DataFrames and DataSets.
