I liked the hands on activities. The final exam really requires thinking and searching which makes the exam worth.

The developement studio is super slow, it is impossible to work directly in it.

The presentation of the noSQL database could be clearer. I found better videos (and shorter) on youtube.

I do not think it is necessary to advertise so much for IBM Cloudant. We already pay for the course, it should be add free.

Useful lab for skimming through different databases. The session of Cloudant, however, looks more like a sales material... This course is overall very good!

This course is one of the best 'Intrıduction To...' courses. The content is very clear and easy to understand.

If it weren't a requirement for a university course of mine, I would not have started another IBM course. A robot reads the material, the practicals go from copying code and pressing run to suddenly writing complicated queries in the final. On top of that, the virtual environment sucks and crashed repeatedly. I sat the final coding exercise 5 times before both MongoDB and Cassandra finally wanted to work. The tests are the most stupid I have ever seen with answers being wrong simply because Cassandra has "super fast write throughput" and not just "fast write throughput". The little you learn you start to doubt after sitting the final.

The course is great material, explanations and quizzes. The problem with this course is technical. You will face some problems with ibm cloud.

The practice final project in Module 4 actually requires doing some of the optional materials in Module 5 (using Cloudant). But the actual final project does not require the material from Module 5. Somebody from the admin team needs to go through the course again to make sure the progression actually makes sense

This course is plagued with technical difficulties. The material is fine and the teaching is fine but the final lab took like three weeks to complete because of connectivity issues with the Mongo database and timeout issues. Plus the instructions are confusing. Most of the comments on this lab are about this and to pass it you have to access the database through a different lab.

Would be a good course but all of the assignments do not work and have not worked for more than a week. The staff has not provided any information about when the issue may be resolved and no refunds were offered

couldn't complete the course because my IBM Cloud Lite Account doesn't work and to obtain help from IBM is almost impossible if you have a Lite account

this course is simply outrageous. completely bugged, unclear instructions, none of those responsible care about anything

Couldn't submit my peer graded assignment in week 5.

The course, overall, is well-structured and offers a comprehensive introduction to data engineering. The content is presented in a self-explanatory manner, making it accessible even for learners with varying levels of expertise in the field. The instructors provide clear explanations, and the hands-on exercises contribute to a practical understanding of the concepts.

Solid course on NoSQL databases, the course contains information on NoSQL databases, MongoDB, Cassandra, and IBM Cloudant. The course gives a good idea of the fundamental queries in all of these databases.

The appropiate share of theoretical and practical work makes this course an excellent way or learning difficult concepts related to Big Data. Glad and proud I finished it. Roberto

I should say then is not totally for beginner. Maybe intermediate level, some skills of programming are necessary to don't get stuck at the last assessment.

Ita really amazing course specially for that one who want to explore things related to offline-database, cloud -base and web access

Perfect course to learn the fundamental concepts for NoSQL databases. Would definitely revisit this course in future if needed.

It's good for beginner and takes you really deep into the three noSQL databases used. MongoDB, Cassandra and Cloudant.

a good overview on 3 of the main NoSQL databases, with pretty useful exercise to better understand theory

Great introductory course for main NoSQL databases. Great material and practical assignments
