looking forward
I'm eagerly looking forward to the rest of the courses in the specialisation.
Looking forward to more in the Specialization!
and not in concepts It was a very nice introductory course, and I'm looking forward to the future modules!
Looking forward for the upcoming courses.
I think this course was a great introduction the data science.. but needs some updating in terms of instantiation of the Cloudera image.. Docker was a much cleaner way for me to get up and running with the image.Also this course was mostly about the methods of Data Science, not necessarily about big data.. but a great foundation has been laid and still looking forward to more coding with hadoop in future courses.
This being my course from coursera I'm looking forward to do more course here.
Looking forward to the next course.
I found it very interesting and looking forward to continuing the big data journey.
Looking forward to the next set of courses to explore Big Data in detail.
The entire course was nicely planned and looking forward for the next modules It was an outstanding experience.
Looking forward to finishing all the courses and starting implementing Big Data in my career.
The Basics are strong now and looking forward to understand the in-depth concepts Great course for Big Data curios people..Worth learning.. A little slow to start, but probably good to understand the whole picture.
Looking forward to the next few modules.

map reduce
Sometimes it needs to be more in depth for example about running map reduce jobs.
There, the file path to map reduce was different from the example you proviided.
Would love to have more practical hands on exersizes and examples of map reduce.
Part with Map reduce is just slightly touched, not explained in details, without examples.
Map Reduce hands-on assignment does not have very clear instructions, should be improved for future sessions.
the peer reviewed project is a welcome addition to help understanding map reduce concepts A good introduction, looking forward to the rest of the specialization.
It provides essential fundamentals for big data, Hadoop and map reduce applications.
I now have a hold on various Big Data terms and basic understanding of Big Data Hadoop map reduce programming.
It was thought-provoking and practical enough to run 'Map Reduce' samples on VM!

hands on experience
Happy to be in th I loved the hands on experience with running the hadoop on my laptop using VM.
too broad of explanations the course is very useful to whom start their career in big data Excellent experience, It took time to complete the assignments with hands on experience as i had issues with Dual & Quad core processors.
With hands on experience.
A BIG start with Big Data by understanding fundamentals and hands on experience with hadoop.
This is absolutely a hands on experience.

more practical exercises
I liked very much, but I believe you can add more practical exercises.
However, it could include more practical exercises or quiz to continuously learn and evaluate the student.
I would have enjoyed more practical exercises instead of mainly theory videos.
This would be purely useful to beginners who would like to start the course from scratch Include more practical exercises per chapter, the student must wait until the end of the course for some on-hand laboratories.

ilkay altintas
Ilkay Altintas, who is the main lecturer, is a sweet woman, but lecturing from a manuscript is not her strongest side.
high level
If you are looking to get very high level overview then its ok, but you will not learn much handon on big data with this course.
Very good introduction to big data with both a high level perspective, with strategic considerations to more practical stuffs.Hadoop introduction is good.
learnt the high level overview of the course.
too philosophical Great High level introduction.
Everything at high level, people have to imagine things to really understand what is being said.
Ideal para iniciar to many high level concepts but lack of real examples Very good course!
It seems like you can make any high level decision making by using this technique, no longer need experience.
