This course was very poorly organized. I feel quite lucky that I have been a data engineer and I understand the nature of the work and the concepts. The content had little to do with the work itself. Where knowledge of data engineering was required, I felt glad that I had strong background or I would have been quite lost. I am also grateful for the new Coursera Coach feature. That feature also made the course salvageable.

First course in a long time I've just abandoned. The lectures feel disconnected, and the grading quizzes superficial. It focuses more on a specific suite of dev, cloud and AI tooling than on Rust, often feeling like a thinly veiled advert for the same. Rust itself is dealt with very lightly, and data engineering is included by light introduction and self-directed reading with no discussion.
