More hands on assignments would be much better. I realize that this is an introductory course but you can't beat actual experience using the product.

Honestly it felt like a long advertisement for Cloud Stuffâ„¢ a good chunk of the time, but it's good at being an overview if that's what you need

It gives an very good overview of Cloud Computing. I would include more practical experience on the course to learn from "hands-on" excercises.

Some good general information but it felt a lot like a marketing campaign for cloud services. Could have used more concrete practical stuff.

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

Please try to explain in more simpler terms since this is a beginner course and not use too much jargon.

Informational but very dry. Most videos is just someone reading off the powerpoint which is disengaging.
