Content was amazing. Labs were really good. Videos from the lady talking the dense part need to improve. Audio from the lady had a messy stereo, also her pronunciation is not clear. Very bad quality

This course is amazing. The hands on labs was outstanding. But, the audio quality was poor. Needs to improve the audio quality. Overall a great experience learning Apache Spark.

Well-organized course presenting core concepts and tools of Apache Spark through its SQL API. Lots of hands-on activities help the student to stay engaged. Foundational theory of big data is also presented. Overall, really solid course. Can't wait to start the next courses in the specialization!

Essentially, it's a SQL course, but I thought it was pretty good SQL course. I've been using SQL daily for about 8 years. I flew through but did learn some stuff. If you don't know SQL well this could potentially take a while.

All the major function of Spark SQL are taught so well by these teachers and the curriculam is greatly divided into parts and week. With the interactive notebooks, the learning experience is even better. 8.5/10.
