Understanding of this course will help you to know more about Cloud Computing and the technologies that drive Big Data

The teachers were just reading off of slides, quizzes were passable without ever watching the content, course followed no structure.

I am disappointed with this course. The course content was designed and developed in a hurry as it seems to me.

Interresting, but too easy to understand. Not much details. Very easy course, but you won't learn a lot.

Too vague. Hard to understand applicability and required environment for presented technologies.

It tries to cover a lot of ground. Lack of some practical tasks.

As one who follow courses in cloud computing series, coming to this course after finishing CCC from UIUC, I will NOT recommend this course to any of you. I've experience in gcp for a couple of years and finish the CCC without any issue. But I often found myself somehow lost in this course.
Material is TOO OLD. Given how fast developing cloud is, you never want to review something which was made in 2016. Any video you can find on youtube will give you a better picture of those cloud product than this one.
And also there are mistasks. For example, in the chapter of kubenetes, professor even do not know "kubectl". He thought it was an "i" instead of 'l'! Well you can argue that in 2016 k8s is new but not correcting them in a course is unforgivable.
After finishing this course. I found quite lost. Do not take it if you want to have a taste on cloud. Do not take it if you are new to cloud.

Not what I expected after the last two courses in the cloud specialization. A lot of the information has already been covered in the last two courses from a more detailed theoretical level. This is more of a non-technical level overview of some popular and some random cloud tools covered at a level that is not technical enough to gain anything from but in too much tedious detail to be consumable for the parts that are interesting. This course could be condensed into a few page tradeoff table of the services and applications covered.

As a developer I consider this a very poor course. It can be good for manager and business people to better understand what technologies are available these days, but that it. You can easily look at the syllabus, go to the wikipedia and read the pages on presented subject and you will get the same knowledge. There were no programming assignments, quizes and exams were not challenging at all and some questions were really confusing. I won't recommend it to anyone and it shouldn't be part of this specialization.

I've never had an instructor that was so clearly phoning it in. What's more, lots of the information presented about how the Cloud works is factually inaccurate, and no one has bothered to correct it. I strongly suggest that working professionals with even a basic level of experience with the Cloud (read: clearly more than the instructor) simply save themselves the aggravation.

I was expecting some hand-on programming or chance to work on the virtualisation techniques, it's only theories in this course which is of little use in outside world, companies need hands-on experience

I have never come across worse lecturers. I plodded through, because I had to. I pity the students who have to take their classes at Urbana Champaign

It was really focused on high level concepts of different technologies, the level was really basic. No details have been served.
