Excellent overview of Spark, including exercises that solidify what you learn during the lectures. The development environment setup tutorials were also very helpful, as I had not yet worked with sbt.

The sessions where clearly explained and focused. Some of the exercises contained slightly confusing hints and information, but I'm sure those mistakes will be ironed out in future iterations. Thanks!

This is my first completed course on Coursera! It's good for understanding Apache Spark's RDD and its usage.

Awesome teacher - very engaging. This is probably first time when I am watching lectures with pleasure. Also you can easily feel that course is fresh and specially made for this unlike previous ones from Scala speciality.

The course starts from the basic concepts and moves towards the complex concepts. The most important thing is that minute details are taken into consideration and explained properly.

Great course overall. The feedback on failed tests and out of memory errors on the assignments can be improved to make it more user-friendly.
Would be great to see a more advanced version of this course that dives deeper into the machine learning features of Spark, etc.
