The lectures are clear and informative. The quizes pose the right amount of challenge. The template code provided for the programming assignment is terrible, but the assignment itself is not that complex and quite doable for most people with object oriented programming experience.

The course gave me an interesting overview of different problems from the cloud computing field. The course start looks little bit slow, but later it gets more interesting. However I was disappointed with code quality of the assignment framework.

GREAT course ,the concepts and theories have been explained thoroughly. But I also believe providing a few reference materials would have been better for a theory oriented course like this one.overall still the best could theory course online

The course was without doubt amazing.

The videos was pretty good and the Quiz at the end of each week helped a lot to recollect stuff.

The programming assignment was a little hard though and it wasn't clear as to what we were supposed to do.

Great Course, helped me to learn basic understanding of Cloud computing. I feel lot energized now, to talk to colleagues in discussion about Computing. Appreciate info in discussion groups helping solve or direction unsolved questions.

Good content overall .. I wish there were more references to the content (links to articles and readings). The assignment skeleton code needs to be looked into (it is really bad.. super hard to understand what is going on)

A very good course covering various topics in a duration of 5 weeks. Some of the topics needs a little more explaination. The homeworks make sure that one understands the topics covered during the week.

Solid distributed systems' fundamentals class. The programming assignment was really evaluating my reverse and software engineering skills rather than my grasp of distributed systems' fundamentals

Great lectures. However, the starter code for the programming assignment is quite atrocious. Overall, would highly recommend to anyone wanting to learn high level concepts in distributed systems.

This course though looks quite simple but is very exhaustive and needs lot of dedicated effort to complete this course. Overall a very good learning experience related to cloud computing.

Course is nice, but one will get tired trying to keep up with so many protocols, algos.

Prior experience on any one distributed compute framework or Cassandra would be extremely helpful.

The programming assignement was very long in relation with the resto of assignements (quiz). However, the course's content is very interesting and complete.

Great course overall as it gives a deep understanding of the cloud technologies. Some homework are too tedious to finish and not really interesting.

Excellent primer on distributed systems theory and practice, but the programming assignment was complicated by low quality template code.

The contents cover a vast set of topics. just what i was expecting. I was hoping some good books, papers would be suggested

Really hardcore computer science course. Sometimes, reading original papers is necessary to really understand the topic.

Great, and highly relevant/topical, content. However I found the quiz assignments to be needlessly tedious at times.

Many homework questions are confusing while there is no assistants/moderators to clarify in discussion forums.

Great fundament courses. I refreshed many concepts, I forgot due to different skills I covered in my career

should make the exam easier, and this course only teaches concepts and it asked you to do a C++ assignment

Please discuss in brief the steps for solving programming assignment. The rest of the course is fantastic.

Very good intro to a number of distributed computing topics. Challenging assignment and engaging material.

Great course! I learnt basics of current cloud computing technologies, even this is really tough course.

I liked the course, but the level of the exams is much higher than the material that was shared.

Programming assignment is the great experience and effective exercise for the course topic.
