Content was amazing. Labs were really good. Videos from the lady talking the dense part need to improve. Audio from the lady had a messy stereo, also her pronunciation is not clear. Very bad quality

This course is amazing. The hands on labs was outstanding. But, the audio quality was poor. Needs to improve the audio quality. Overall a great experience learning Apache Spark.

The notebooks could be more interactive, you just read and press ctrl+enter on the SQL block.

The video instruction is not as thorough as I would have liked. The last two weeks of the course material are quite complex in my opinion. The final lab challenges become quite time consuming and difficult because the material was not covered in depth earlier, so my surface understanding of the functions really made me have to do a lot more independent research through youtube for explanations.

The videos and initial exercise are useful, but this is actually pretty tedious for someone who knows SQL and just wants to learn the Spark additions. Also, towards the end, there's typos everywhere.

Not what I expected. Very little discussion of underlying architecture. Simply too many sql exercises. Few typos on the exam. Not very clear. Not sure what I learned even after getting 99%.

It was OK. A good introduction to Spark SQL. You can tell the labs and videos have not been updated in a few years which occasionally will be a nuisance

Final exam question 8 - question does not match answers. Notebooks need info on best/correct cluster versions needed
