IMO too theoretical. Of course it is subjective. I'm taking courses now but already have 15+ years of experience in software engineering.

The graded quizes contained grammatical errors and spelling mistakes that don't give me confidence in the academic rigor of the course.

Videos with only voice-over are not interactive and mostly get boring over time. There should be an instructor in all videos. Thanks

Most of videos' audio was robotic sounding, moved too quickly, and didn't efficiently convey the core concepts.

It gives a good idea as to what Cloud Computing is but doesn't have much hands-on so it becomes boring easily
