Automatic vocalization is cold, boring, and lack of empathy needed to follow the explanation
By Firaol Dida Midekso on 12/6/2019
The voice is distracting

I expected the presence of quiz at the end of each section

very poor information, boring speaker and there is subtitles

teaching a course it's not about reading off a pdf. It's about providing a greater explanation to the students....specially about Big Data - everything that you can find on this course - you can get it from a book at your Institution's library. Not worth it. I tried my best to become engaged but the instructor's tone is just so bad.
