great course to understand the concept of bigdata and famalarize yourself to hadoop and cloudera. only issue i faced the VM used is outdated

This is a wonderful introductory course for Big Data . If people are confused whether to go for it or not , this course will be very helpful.

This is probably the best Introduction to Hadoop. Minus 1 star only because I wish I could receive the sessions on mail for future reference.

It gave me knowledge, but the voice and the presentation of the teacher sometimes too fast and unreachable. The presentation seems outdated.

Increase the depth on hands on exercises. There were very basic and did not explore even all the examples which hadoop provides by default!

Very good course . It was a bit slow in the beginning but went to a good pace covering a whole lot of basics as the course moved forward.

There is room to improve, but much better than previous version. Thanks for your good work as a good resource on learning about big data

For a introductory course it covers a lot of things, not in too much detail, but it covers a lot of important concepts and definitions.

This is a perfect beginner-friendly course. Clears many doubts and give you a clear idea of Big Data. Also, the data provided is good.

Loved every second of it, easy to understand, well structured, more big data usage examples in video formats would be a nice addition

Nice learning and content are very good to understand. There were example which help to understand the topic more accurately. Thanks.

The content of the course is very good, but a bit dated. The concepts still apply and is a useful foundation to learn about big data

If more case studies and writing MapReduce programs using Python are added to the last section of the course, it would be awesome.

Very good explanations serving a comprehensive introduction. The transcript of the videos could however be reviewed for accuracy.

Nice study material, easy and lucid explanation. Covers the basic concepts and gives necessary overview. Teachers are excellent.

Very instructive and well designed course for an introduction to Big Data. Liked the hand on projects and the quality of videos.

can be more business oriented...would love to learn more on its business implication

for beginners, this is a very useful course

A REALLY HELPFUL COURSE TO UNDERSTAND HOW THE WORLD OF BIG DATA ANALYSIS WORKS,LOOKING FORWARD TO LEARN THE REST OF THE SERIES

The course provides a solid introduction to Big Data, even if your knowledge is Big Data as a buzzword. Definitely recommended

Great course. Before this, Hadoop was just a dream. Now I can at least count words in a text. I will clear the whole series.

Ur teaching very nice, but some pics and PPT available in our course extra features to be added in our Coursera. Thank u!!

A little slow to start, but probably good to understand the whole picture. The hands on Hadoop is A+ for me as a beginner.

To me, I feel there're too many common senses were talked about. Would be much better if we go strait to the key points...

It would have been nice to understand how to delete directories in Hadoop so that the final exercise was more productive.

Overall a good introduction course to Big Data. It could have been more condensed and contain more programming exercises.
