Gives you a great understanding about the fundamentals and how apache spark works. However, some exercises and files are outdated and it will not take you the amount of time the course info indicate, fow me it was less than half of it

A detailed explanation on the trade off of different approaches that can be used in Big Data but there is not enough examples of manipulating big datasets

I believe that the assignments of this course should have been a bit more rigorous. Also, there should have a been a bit more focus on Apache Spark.

The course content is amazing but the instructor's accent is very difficult to understand and in some videos subtitles in English weren't available.

give lot of details about pyspark like basics.

its getting hectic with just the small details given in videos.

videos needs to be changed and updated

Good introductory course, however it would be better if the assignments were more involved rather than having the code typed out already for us.

Some of the content in the video should have been updated due to the change of interface. Had some difficulty setting up the environment.

Topics can be taught a bit more slowly, it was a bit difficult for me to understand. Otherwise, the content covered was very helpful!

The content was okay, but it is pretty basic. There is legacy from previous versions of the course that needs better transitions

The functions we need to complete looks quite messy, it'a little bit overwhelming especially for people who start with spark.

I felt the course is out of date and have worked on these classes to update it so that I can run the video classes again

the assignment is required to be in sparkaql functions however the course is just using spark with built in functions

Too many legacy issues. Would be better to start a new course altogether and maintain same syntax,etc.

Analytically very simple, and fails to explain much of the syntax needed for the assignments.

The videos have not been updated to fix the errors (there is just a hint for a correct code)

Very basic lessons. Definitely what you would expect from an Advanced course.

Labs are pretty hard. Need to research immensely. Knowledge is great though.

The Course is quite basic, however it's useful in building up my knowledge

The structure and material quality needs complete revision and improvement

More coding please. One doent learn much just by filling out couple words

Too many theory for such little practice. But not bad as an intro.

A little more deep tutorials on spark language would be useful

the assignments could have left more freedom to the student.

Feel like the lecture and assignment are a bit irrelevant

Great foundational knowledge on scalable data science.
