Some of the instructions for the tools are not clear enough. It's better to have some more suggested further readings - like statistics with KNIME, operating Spark, etc. For the cases, it is very straight forward and with beautiful data; likely far away from real application.

The Big Data - Capstone Project is a great course that is very challenging and requires a significant amount of work hours for a big data first-timer. The great experience could be enhanced by fixing some bugs in software and typos in guidance document.

I liked the content and presentation of the courses. However I had experienced problems with the Virtual Machines and had to tussle around to solve some exercises, using some cloud based options of the tools

Overall a good capstone project. However, the guidance is inconsistent some times. Also the setup for PySpark is not working for a lot of students, for at least 3 years, and they did not uptdate it.

Very engaging course. Well designed and delivered. I also liked the breadth and depth of the course. Liked it and continue use the material as reference

The project is really helpful to sum up the whole process of the 5 previous courses, but there is a bit problem with the week 4 assignment.

the chat part (graphs) was hard to finish. the bar is very high for this capstone. anyway very good course.

its very good course , here its aggregating all knowledge and information learned in previous courses

This course was good to provide more practical lessons using Splunk, KNIME, Spark MLlib, and Neo4j.

A lot more work and time than expected. Some issues with software tools as per expected.

Watch out for week 4. This is the hardest one out of the whole specialization

Very good practice with the things leart in the other 5 courses.

Good and very practical challenge

Good Job, thanks for all

Not Bad

It seemed the assessments were a little difficult, although I did enjoy it pu. I saw lots of learners copying each others content. We need to try stop it.

Poor instructions that need to be revised and updated. Nice to exercise the skills and tools you learned in the prior courses.

The course is really good, but some exercises are difficult to be done without technical support.

should have been more indulging else fabulous

The capstone, just like the courses of the specialization are a strong illustration of the problems of higher ed.

The tools user in this course have too many bugs and a lot of time is lost on it.

one of the worst courses I have ever had on coursera
