Learner Reviews & Feedback for Data Warehouse Concepts, Design, and Data Integration by University of Colorado System

The torture of having to identify which of the many combinations of Pentaho, Java and some freeware plugin actually works in the end has completely ruined this experience. I don't care if SOMEWHERE in the notes there is info I should install Version 5.0.2.3 instead of 5.0.whatever, this is just plain laziness in the course design by picking software which might have worked in the past and then not updating the instructions while pocketing the student's money for years to come. I have about had it with spending my nights installing and re-installing this junk of software nobody uses anyways in a real business setting only to advance in this class.

I enjoyed learning this material and found that the Pentaho Kettle hands-on experience was a nice additional to skill set that I can provide my clients.

The quality of assignments is awful

No guidance from instructors, and the assignments have nothing to do with the lectures. If I could get a refund, I would quit and get my money back. Not worth the frustration.

Personally I don't recommend this course. I really need to learn data warehousing for my job and I have no problem with learning by doing. This course gave me basics, but the learning was very stiff. I think it's just to theoretical here.

Pentaho does not work, hence I was not able to complete week 2 assignment and the course.

very good

Excellent

good course

Extremely helpful course to learn regarding Data warehouse concepts

Great lecture for DW/BI

I just re-reviewed the 1 week and will re-review it within the day, prior to taking the exam. overall the presentor is very capable and has mastery of the subject which is very very good. I love this course and i hope I could have this re-reviewed once I get to have the paid subscription.

This Course has given new life to me

A very good course. It is challenging, especially the assignment in week 3, but extremely rewarding. Thanks to Coursera and the University of Colorado for creating this course. Really good to get an understanding of enterprise level data warehouses.

nice course very usefull

For me this course is one of the most important in BI. We had good teachers that helped us to understand the important issues.

Brilliant. Simply stunning.

excellent course. the professor coveys core concepts to the point.

very good course

Very interesting course well explained, good assesments, I learned a lot

Again, professor Michael Mannino presents a very well prepared course that achieves optimal results in limited time. This course provides the background and basic skills necessary understand and work with Data Warehouses.

Excellent course. Very logical sequence of presentation, accompanied by well designed exercises.

Very useful this course. Thanks

ThankYou :)

Overall a great course mixing concepts, technical skills and self learning very well. I'd recommend this course for anyone who is looking to learn about building data warehouse from scratch with minimal starting knowledge.
