great

4.5

I got to learn in the most practical way. I loved the course and how they connected the learnings of different tech stacks in one. One thing they can improve is by providing more reading materials which can help us learn the advances since the course covers more of basic aspect of the technologies.

Good compact summary of the topics.

Regarding the assignment: Good to have an environment for testing your code directly. Unfortunatly it was a bit unstable. Final assignment was a bit to much screenshots and lesser coding.

it was good course should have also given an information on industry related solution and they can implement the same.

Course offers valuable conceptual content but labs could be improved. Coursera assessment system is really poor.

Good introduction to Airflow and Kafka however only one airflow operator is explored

Very good , Ilearn may thing and very good redaction and explains

It takes 1 hour to connect the lab and start the service.

Very helpful course!

interesting

good course

good

The course material was basic so make sure do to a lot of your own additional learning outside of the coureswork. The discussion staff are not helpful/don't understand or even read your questions before replying. The labs don't always work and the instructions don't always line up with current software upgrades. Just be prepared to do a lot of troubleshooting with not much help. I wish the course would tell you what to do when certain errors occur/are more thorough with their instructions.

Cette note est du au fait du probleme de notation des examens. Le fait de laisser à l'appréciation des étudiants de juger de la bonne réponse basé sur uniquement que des indices... par exemple pour le Task 1.2 à 1.8 je crois avoir eu 2 presque partout maison ne m'en a donné que 1. Ce que je ne trouve pas vraiment juste

The final exam experience was so poor. I have got disconnected many times and my correct answers were shown incorrect due to time exceeded error. Although, labs project were good and a little bit challenging which I liked it.

Ok, Very good course, but during the exam the focus was a very difficult part made of commands of Linux Shell, expecially dealing with files that are not CSV. That was not the main focus of the course, actually.....

The lab exercises were not loaded, so I had to move to the next section and it was not understandable, there is a technical issue! Also, I did not like the material and the explanation was not clear.

A bit too easy, more into details. More advanced exercises to learn and be more ready for working with it.

Week 1 feels useless because the main idea is to learn about Airflow and Kafka, and all this information about ETL it is not relevant if the course is positioned as an advanced one. In Week 4, the Apache Kafka lab is not working. I have logs with errors, making it impossible to install Kafka Server on the VM. It's impossible to do any examples. Why do I need install all this on my Linux VM to perform this lab? I pay money for broken lab. I strongly suggest not taking this course because 50% of the course, the lab, is unusable/unavailable.

I feel though the final project suffered from issues with permissions, and there was a lack of a standard setup. Where should DAG scripts go? Why should they be in a folder with admin only permissions? Submitting screenshots is tedious and (frankly) shows a lack of willingness on the part of the course designers to use tools like nbgrader/Jupyter notebooks or other automated grading solutions.

Warning, if you can write a "Hello World" program in any language, you probably want to skip this course/certification.

There are a few issues with this course. Firstly this course teaches Kafka version 2.12 which uses Apache Zookeeper meanwhile as far as I understand it zookeeper was removed from version 3.4 so this should be updated. Also I had to loose marks in my assessment as I was not able to move files in the network lab as I didnt have enough permissions according to the system and the code that was provided did not help.

As with all these IBM courses this one is super boring. Robot voice talking over powerpoints, as usual. This one stuck out as especially bad because the online lab environment is very unreliable. So much time was wasted waiting for airflow to fail to start. Extremely frustrating!
