Good overview of the architecture and options. The course will provide you high level details of the Spark capabilities. It's a beginner level course. I wish it was more hands-on with more practical examples.

Very slapdash- there was at least one TBD and at least one test question explicitly has the wrong answer (No, removing all nodes is NOT an optimization!). Labs would benefit from data being given to the student so they can follow along, rather than being reading comprehension exercises. Learn by doing, isn't that what Coursera is about?

Unfortunately, this lesson also suffers from the following problems:

1. Lack of VM environment to exercise. It is available within similar GCP and IBM trainings.

2. Ambigious and wrong questions. Same question in the preparation quiz has different answers in the completion test.

3. The content differs from the official Microsoft Learn trainings.
