Learner Reviews & Feedback for Big Data Modeling and Management Systems by University of California San Diego

The cloudera vm used by the course requires login credentials (which students do not have) in order to correctly update and install the software using the commands given. Looking at the forum, there have been problems with software updates for quite some time, but as of Feb this year students are unable to do the updates needed outright per https://docs.cloudera.com/documentation/enterprise/release-notes/topics/cm-retrofit-auth-downloads.html. The short version, you will notice you are asked to use librasheets and will how no ability to do so.

The state of this course is unacceptable for anyone not familiar with troubleshooting LInux. The software is woefully outdated. I do not recommend this course until the instructors apply the needed updates. Coursera should probably remove this course, considering it's a paid service.

Worst course I had ever. The hands-on materials are out of date. The teachers are not available for discussions. The course in unclear. Even, the final project description is ambiguous. Waste of time and money

It uses technologies which has no support, and the activities where there are problems reported by the users, are days ago abandoned by the moderators.

Very old course and all hands on materials are outdated and you spend more time figuring it out than the actual course

The vm provided is not working and no support. I have to stop learning this course.

Too slow and i didnt get a certificate after completing course 1.

Not worth your time or money.
