Considering how low-quality this course is, it should be offered for free and certainly not through Coursera - which by the way should be doing a better job with its courses quality assurance.

The negatives:

- All labs were impossibile to do, the course is not getting updated and some of the free funcitionality no longer works or works differently making the labs useless.

- I would very much rather see a normal presentation on screen instead of having the instructor on-screen most of the time.

- Despite the course being about Azure Cloud Services - very little of the very interfaces/apps is shown.

- Why there is no notes included from the lessons? Summarized reading sections would be much more helpful than recaps saying what I supposedly learned.

- Why some of the videos are in different format and do not include transcription?

- The transcriptions are automated, seems very low effort on the course custodian's part.

The biggest of them all is difficulty. This course (and the whole specialization) is meant to prepare me for the Azure 900 exam. Why the questions at the end of each lesson are so easy? Why there is so few of them? After all, this is the way to check how much I learned and understood.

I must say, I believe this course is the worst Coursera course I have ever taken. Many of the contents are not at all suited for beginners, despite the course being marketed as such. The majority of the videos are just the instructor talking, with the occasional simple drawing that fails to clarify anything. These visuals seem carelessly put together and are completely useless. Additionally, there are embedded plugins that are nothing more than more videos, but with the added drawback that you cannot customize viewing settings as you could with native Coursera videos; you can't add subtitles or adjust the playback speed often. Furthermore, parts of the course are completely outdated, especially when it comes to exercises, where the links don't work, and the screenshots are of old layouts that no longer exist. Honestly, I expected more from Microsoft, but this course is merely a collection of mediocre resources at best. It often does not cater to beginners and seems to have no other interest than offering a discount on the certification exam upon specialization completion. I hope no one subscribed just for this, as it's a total disappointment.

This course is not worth taking. I've been having issues completing the assignments, none of the links are working like they should. I'm very dissappointed in this course since no one can fix the links to complete the assignment; even the chat specialist can't help. If you want to learn more about Azure, I'd suggest taking the course somewhere else or at another instituation. If I don't hear from someone soon about my problem, I plan to cancel my subscription.

Couldn't complete exercises in the course as the links provided is broken and there is no clear steps on how to enable Sandbox. Contacting support didn't help much. From the discussion, I realized a lot of students complained about the same issue but few months later, the issue isn't resolved yet. Very dissapointing. Also, I couldn't watch one video in week 3 as the link was broken.

way too many concepts not introduced or explained, maybe great for someone with a software engineer/developer background, but not for data scientist/analyst

Very good course offered by Microsoft in Coursera platform. And one thing I want to tell is that there should be more hands on practice to keep our basics much more strong. I think it is a very good course and helpful. Thanks to Coursera and Microsoft.

Excelente curso para adentrase al mundo de Azure, sin embargo, siento que hace falta un poco mas de familiarización con la plataforma de Azure ya que se me dificulto un poco la navegacion sobre este.
