It’s a good introduction to data engineering. But as the course title it is just an introduction. You will need several follow up courses to get a hands on experience on the topic.

I think more hands on experience is required. And the course was pretty short. But the fact that they repeated things several times was very helpful to stick into mind.

The course is quite interesting and full of practitioners insights.

In my opinion tests and peer assignments are quite easy, perhaps is this part that can be improved.

It is a great introductory course. The cuality of the content is at the top. Nevertheless, I'd like to see more exercises or in-depth detail about data fundamentals

Good for a first approach to the topic. They have to allow to download the slides used in the teaching, otherwise it is very difficult to revise the topics taught.

The course is a good overview of what Data Engineering entails. I took a star off for the atrocious Peer reviewing requirements though. That should be removed.

Enjoyed it. I just wish the text was easier to read under the video (i.e. paragraphed and bullet pointed instead of clumped together)

Way too many generalized interviews with past/present data engineers. Stopped adding value to the learning after like the 5th video.
