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.

My expectations were about a bit more practice. But level is "for beginners", so I do not complain :)

I would like the peer review to force feedback so the submitter has an idea of what they did wrong.

El curso es bueno pero los visuales y ppts me parecen viejos. Creo que puede hacerse m谩s creativo
