I feel as though the assessment questions could have been more specific and the assessment criteria when marking could have been more precise. But other than that it was a great course.

The course provided me a good understanding of the tools and insights on how data could be modeled and managed. I feel confident that I can use the knowledge at work.

The course does not add much knowledge if you came from computer science field. It touches the very basics. The exercises are simple, and the final project is very vague.

Very poor in practical content. The maximum you will see is to run done python scripts in the virtual machine; But you can also run in your personal PC.

I wish the courses are more project oriented. This is a very good introduction but, atleast you could provide some optional projects or some tasks.

The content is good but this course needs an extensive update of the course material (labs and power point presentations).

Worst course I had ever. The hands-on materials are out of date. The teachers are not available for discussions. The course in unclear. Even, the final project description is ambiguous. Waste of time and money

It uses technologies which has no support, and the activities where there are problems reported by the users, are days ago abandoned by the moderators.
