I love the course. It goes deep into the foundations, and then finishes up with an actual lab where you learn by practice. I greatly benefited from it and feel I have achieved a milestone in big data.

This is a great introduction for Big Data. It helps me to revisit what I learned from the meetups and webinars, then put the fundamental knowledge and information in a solid foundation. Thank you.

It is old fashioned and much theoretical. Does not mention any details about hive, spark etc. But if you want to learn the history of bigdata its good for it and understand main need.

I have problem at the last hadoop part, which requires a lot of laptop performance and eventually let my laptop went into repair.

Do be careful while sign up for this course.

I guess I shouldn't be pissed at an 'Introduction' course to be too basic, but still... It's completely skippable, even if you don't know anything about big data.

This is more focused on theory than practical experience.Its better to shorten the video duration so that it will not be boring to listen to lectures.

Worst introduction. The Instructors are very promising don't get me wrong. The structure of the course and the presentation and editing is awful.

Content is outdated. Especially the hands on work given towards the end of the course, It was not self-explanatory

There should be more hands on experience in the first classes, so the pupils have something to tie the knowledge.

Would have been fine as a 1 week introduction to the material but as a stand alone course was insufficient.

Most of the course is providing useless statistics, i didn't enjoy it and it's a really basic course.

A very basic and still confusing set of slides. It's much more productive to google Hadoop wiki.
