Leveraging Unstructured Data with Cloud Dataproc on Google Cloud Platform

While some of the labs were a bit frustrating with the grader, and my company's firewall rules prevent their completion (I have to work around by viewing cluster external IPs on my phone), I learned quite a bit in this course. The hands-on are excellent.

Very well outlined course. Although for the beginning data engineer the spark and hadoop parts can be confusing.

Got a good feel of DataProc and its use in overall GCP eco system. The lab's are the best part of the course.

Fast paced course and saved the best for last. I wish there as more try out exercies

I enjoyed the repetitive nature give the mechanics for cluster setup and the sequential add on of information. I also like the fact that we are shown how to set things up by clicking around of the GUI and the corresponding cloud shell commands.

Gives good basic understanding

The labs are extremely well put together. A good pace for an overview.

Good course .Very interesting!!

This course was OK. The quiz questions were laughably easy and not nearly as useful to represent my learned skills as other Coursera courses.

lot of redundant material. For example there are videos which are longer and then shorter videos cover the same material

I think the quizzes should be more challenging. I'm using this course to prepare for the Date Engineering exam, and while the material is very interesting, I don't think we're really putting what we learned to the test (most quizzes only have one question, and it's usually very easy).

The labs are cool enough but most of the things have already been demonstrated in lesson one in a more concise way.In my opinion, the lesson should be optional.
