Not recommend to attend this class. Instructors just speak the hadoop relevant concepts on the slides word by word. Very boring. You'd better to download the slides and read through it.

Only offers a superficial introduction. The slides seem onorganized and clatted with text. Videos are way to short and furhter pointers for deeper learning are missing as a whole.

Teachers aren't engaging. They just read the slides, without explaining anything. They aren't active on the forum so we cannot ask questions...

Quizzes are also full of errors...

I'm very disappointed about this course and the full specialization. The level for the videos and the exercises is quite low and I regret have invested my money on that.

Absolutely no support when facing issues on the assignments. Hundreds of posts left unanserewed. I give up to my certificate, althouhg all videos watched already.

Very poor course. Poor lecture quality (audio), poor material coverage and the interactive material was basically going through the Cloudera tutorial.

No responsible person to answer the problem facing in discussion of assignment.

Many learner stuck in the same point but not been solved

Wasted too much time with this class! Instructions are terrible. Very frustrating trying to figure it out. Don't recommend this course.

One of the professor just read the slide with no further explanations...I can just read the slide by myself, no need to pay $79 for it.

the assignments do not clarify, what exactly is required.

for beginers there needs to be more step oriented explanation of assignments

Not worth it. It is just 1-2 hours of tutorials/bad quality presentations. All of information in this course can be easily googled.

The instructors just review everything so fast. They don't intend to teach you something they just want to review their knowledge.

This is a very poorly led course. The instruction is not insightful and the exercises are basically just copy/paste activities.

i wanted to learn the material; i ended up with poor slides, presenters who read the slides, assignments that don't add value.

Hard to understand professor, they don't look confident at all, it seems to me they are just reading prompts screen. Big pass

I hated instructors and the hands on with python was very bad. I suffered a lot and this could have been done much easier.

Labs have inaccurate and insufficient instructions, tests are ambiguous and include material not covered in the videos.

Poor content, very complicated to follow, no industry examples, no feedback from tutors, a waste of time and money.

Worst course i have taken in Coursera. Just theory, theory and theory... some stupid assignments that has no value.

The Cloudera VM is a big part of the problem. Hadoop and Spark are powerful, but the GUIs give it training wheels.

If I can't upload my assignments , I can't contact with a teacher and I am evaluated what kind of course is this.

It's better to read a text book than enrolling in this course. The instructor just reads through the slides

Horrible Course , not suitable for non-experts at all.

Yet , ironically , it claims to target at non-experts

Very poor quality videos and lectures. HIghly non-friendly techniques. Learning scope is not good.

this course sucks! The worst i have come across. i wish the stars had ratings in negative too
