Content is great but it would be more helpful if there is video version of the exercises

The delivery of the content is good, although it is just an actor reading verbatum the text in the Microsoft learn docs. However the main issue is that a lot of the content is very hard to complete because it seems to come from somewhere else (e.g. a Microsoft training course) but the critical setup information was not copied as well. This means that to actually do the exercises the student needs their own Azure credit, and also needs to dig around random github repos to find the matching datasets. Additionally there are pretty rampant typos. This is not a well made course, and needs serious work.

Hands-on exercises are useless since necessary data and information is missing

no labs, poor tests. Real drop off in content quality after first set in series. This course should be modified. Will not complete series. Will not recommend.

I truly understand that is not a beginner course. However, Microsoft should rebuild this course adding more labs and other practical material. For beginner, the course is very advanced. For intermediate and advanced, the course is a copy and paste from manuals. There is a mid-way that you need to fill. The videos is good, but, need more practical exercises with prepared correct environment.

Boring... The content is boring. I think it is better to read a book rather than listening to one person just rambling the facts...

I thought the exercises were kind of poorly written and my sandbox isn't working so I had to try to set everything up on my own account. The biggest lesson I learned from this course is that Azure is very expensive, especially Synapse.

The content seems to be copy pasted from microsoft learn.

There is no lab provided (sandbox) or clear instructions to do any of the practise exercises and projects.

There were mistakes and mix-ups in the test questions.

Excellent step-by-step presentation of theoretical concepts which were neatly tied to their application. I just wish we were provided with an actual Azure Sandbox or a Dummy One to apply taught concepts in real-time and have enough practice. This is something that Coursera Course Makers can look into. But overall, the course was very well and carefully crafted. Thank you so much to everyone.

A lot of reading material could have been done using videos! Also, the instructors are not teaching but just reading from a book!

Good overview of fundamentals, but lacking of stuff prepared for exercises (at-least, simple data files to download and use).
