Very basic, too much interviewing people and few content.

The IBM Cloud account setup fails very often, issues with keys and required to send emails.

Few questions are misleding if not wrong:

- the one asking which one is an example of semi-structured data where both emails and Tweets are actually semi-structured data.

- Other example the one asking to count unique values in a SQL statement where COUNT and DISTINCT are two options while the correct answer should be COUNT DISTINCT

This was a deep dive into the data world that provides so much knowledge that could be beneficial to any data professional. I did not find the interview of data engineer videos to be a productive use of time. They mainly reiterate what you have already learned in the previous videos. 3 stars because I was disappointed with the lack of technical skill-building compared to the Google Data Analytics certificate program.

This introduction class is ok for a beginner, but I don't recommend it. Lots of theory, little practice. Practice requires registration for an IBM cloud, but even their infrastructure is error-prone. One or two videos are a bit repetitive of the same content from previous videos.

A lot of content and time is about Data Engineering careers, etc. including quiz questions. These are good to know as a FYI but I don't think it should be included in course quizzes.

Everything is extremely redundant. Practice quizzes are identical to the video. This does not reinforce learning only memorization. Try asking the questions in a different way

Feels AI generated. Mind numbingly easy. Still - good enough if you're starting at zero.

Found the topics to be a little abstract, without much concrete information.

A good intro for complete beginners. I wish there had been more lab work.

Very dense, not enough coursework to reinforce retention of the material.

There are no technical or coding concepts, is basically theoretical

It's good for a really beginner in the industry.

Good for begineer

In my opinion this intro is too long, had lots of repetition and is so boring. You don't really need to explain basic concepts like Database Intersections and Joins. If the candidate doesn't have this basic background information then they should acquire it from a lower level course to get ready for a professional certificate like this, and quite honestly it makes me lose confidence in the value of getting this certificate myself. I have 1 year experience as a Data Engineer.

The basic material would be good, but the presentation and quality is poor. No resources added, the IBM service (IBM cloud) you should use for lab assignments needs a credit card, which was no problem for me, but my account got deactivated for no reason, and I would say customer care is non existing at IBM as they don't give you any kind of information. I had the feeling who ever created this material is an expert on its field, but had not much to do with teaching.

Very basic overview of the topic, very little to none hands-on.

I wasn't able to finishe the course, since the most basic thing - account creation on IBM cloud - doesn't work and nobody within the whole IBM corporation seems to be able to help.

There are lots of other people complaining about this. If possible coursera should probably get in touch with IBM directly, because they're ignoring requests from simple developers.

They provide multiple correct answers on final quiz but only 1 answer is correct.

Their bot for shuffling questions and answers is broken. Some questions have nothing to do with the answers.

You should take this course just because it is the most cheapest option on the market.

If you have money, dont buy this course.

I expected so much more from IBM. Auto-generated lessons which evaluate jargon memorization over actual knowledge and understanding. Hands-on is copy-paste. I stuck through the introduction modules thinking it would get better. It didn't.

Giving 1 star because there is no notification before being charged for subscription. I have totally lost interest in completing anymore IBM courses on coursera for this reason. The subscription is not cheap.

The IBM ungraded hands on assignments don't work at all. It's a completely missed opportunity for hands on experience. They should be removed from the course or fixed.
