About the Course

This course is for novice programmers or business people who would like to understand the core tools used to wrangle and analyze big data. With no prior experience, you will have the opportunity to walk through hands-on examples with Hadoop and Spark frameworks, two of the most common in the industry. You will be comfortable explaining the specific components and basic processes of the Hadoop architecture, software stack, and execution environment. In the assignments you will be guided in how data scientists apply the important concepts and techniques such as Map-Reduce that are used to solve fundamental problems in big data. You'll feel empowered to have conversations about big data and the data analysis process....

I'm forced to give 5 stars. I don't want to have a certification on a poor quality course (another coursera mistake). This material needs tremendous amount of work to get finished and revised.

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.

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

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

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