Good hands on course with practical examples about Apache Spark SQL, but the exercises and questions are outdated.

Please update the final test. Some questions requires multiple answers and it is not mentioned in the questions

More explanation helps around advanced constructs. Course more focused on hands on problem solving.

This course is very basic - but if you are willing to read and do hands-on its a good start.

This teaches more about SQL than Apache Spark

Some practical files were not working

Material is about a couple of years out of date, sound quality is not good and you have to adjust volume on every single video, a few of the practicals and tests had bugs in them or lack clarity. Overall, it is useful to gain some practical experience with databricks platform and do a bit of Spark SQL, however, nether of those are covered to a high enough proficiency level. So there is a large room to improve this by the course provider(s)

Course is pretty hands on that does not give answer right away. You need to find the aswers for the exams from other than course sources. Also some of the assigments are poorly written.

Not really clear on apache Spark, too abstract, expected more in depht material.

I got bored. Sorry :(

This course should worry more about how to give student a easy access on Databricks Studio in order to let them to exercise on the code and less on understanding how to get a free access on the tool. The entire course is based on the source code that is accessible just using Databricks Studio. From my personal point of view i've found it not that useful but it's the classic american style of make a course.

Audio quality is terrible, many exercises exercises don't make sense as written. Final exam is written in the worst way imaginable.

The Instructors and the quality of the presentation were not good and interactive.

Issues going past week 3, setting up SparkSQL. Issue has yet to be addressed.

Practical course material either non-existent or non-functional
