Dear Professor's

Very good course, I have learned lot of methods in big data from Coursera, Thank you so much Professor Amarnath Gupta and Professor Ilkay Altintas.

This is a quick and fast course to introduce one to Hadoop technology, but one is fimilar with basic concepts they should trying to find a more challenging course.

The content was very useful and informative. A learner new to the topic can easily comprehend and get interested. Presented very well with good real time examples.

Interesting, understandable, easy to follow and interactive. I liked the Map-Reduce assignment and HandsOn the most. I wish there are more HandsOn and Assignments.

The course gives in-depth details of introduction to big data, techniques and helps you getting started with informative lectures, interactive quiz and many other.

Excellent intro course in Big Data world. However I do disagree with time estimation of 5hr to 6 hours per week. I spent double that, although it might be just me.

Very helpful overview of all major topics around big data. Engaging, never boring. A couple of good framework to structure the various information around the topic

Very challenging for people with no background of big data like me, but I enjoyed all the learnings and codings of hadooq. Thank you Ma'am Altintas and Sir Gupta!
