Natasha Balac, Ph.D.
This course is for novice programmers or business people who would like to understand the core tools used to wrangle and analyze big data. With no prior experience, you will have the opportunity to walk through hands–on examples with Hadoop and Spark frameworks, two of the most common in the industry. You will be comfortable explaining the specific components and basic processes of the Hadoop architecture, software stack, and execution environment. In the assignments you will be guided in how data scientists apply the important concepts and techniques such as Map–Reduce that are used to solve fundamental problems in big data. You’ll feel empowered to have conversations about big data and the data analysis process. UC San Diego is an academic powerhouse and economic engine, recognized as one of the top 10 public universities by U.S. News and World Report. Innovation is central to who we are and what we do. Here, students learn that knowledge isn’t just acquired in the classroom—life is their laboratory.

Good introduction. Firsts lessons (Hadoop) are quite basic. The Spark lesson (week 5) is very good.
Abhilash R –
This is a very good course to clear your basics and all the assignments gives you a good practice.
Binay –
Need to have more short hands on assignments. Some of the assignments were too complicated.
Ramneek k –
Great course for starters
Abhishek P –
Good course to get yourself familiar with HDFS and Mapreduce. I
Gopal K –
The course is well documented, instructors are highly qualified. It covers more theoretical aspects of Big Data Stacks. Once should have some prior knowledge of Big Data to finish this course, specifically to complete the coding assignments. If there were a real world use case of big data world, the course simply would be great.
sachin k –
The spark section and programming assignment are poorly explained.
Yu R –
Great course to get to know Hadoop
Vinoth –
Gained the hadoop(Map reduce) spark framework in detailed
chintan p –
Course is awesome. It has clear my idea about MapReduce , Spark jobs.
Pavlos C –
Good course to give you potentially chaotic concepts. Prerequisites, that are not must but will definitelly help a lot: some basic linux command line fluency, basic python knowledge. Without those it still might be doable but might be a total nightmare. Many comments judge harshly some of the instructors. I would disagree on those, especially about class 3 instructor. The guy has a good way to present his concepts. Last week is the best.
Huixin L –
It provide the basis of the Hadoop platform. It also provide with some command to do the real life work. Good course to recommend.

Overall the teaching and structure of the course is great. However, I guess some of the assignment, especially some of the quizzes could really use some more explanation since relevant points might not be covered during the course. So does the programming assignment, I guess maybe it could be due to the focus of this course is not yet writing better scripts, but one thing I think that is missing is how to combine those snippets to make a pipeline to automate the task or make the task reproducible.
Saravanan –
This course is very simple to understand and good know all the concepts.
Tansu D –
that could be more concise and clear. for better learning, watch videos, then do coding. then watch videos again.
Francia P –
Good overview of the Hadoop stack on the Cloudera
Jannic C –
the contents are great but the maintance of the material is sloppy. Many input files wont work, without the forums (where other users and not the instructors help) there would be no way to get ANYTHING running this course. Very unfortunate. Quite disappointing that coursera lets USD rip of their customers
Mohan V –
Great course!!
Sushil K G –
Very good learning
Anirudh S –
Very well structured course for learning Hadoop
Roman N –
Very good introduction to the hadoop framework.
Rahul K –
A great course for spark and Hadoop map reduce.
Vaishnavi P –
Lot can be improved in teaching the course in an effective way. This is from the week 1 course
Richard B –
Good overview of the Hadoop Platform and its supporting application framework.
Marco G –
Great course for learning the basic of Hadoop and Spark
Walter F –
Start was strong, the later lectures weaker.
Chan K K –
The course teaches the most important aspects of Hadoop Platform, especially the MapReduce and Spark programming framework in a consise way. However, students without technical backgrouds may found it hard to complete the programming assignment with Python and in Linux VM evnironment.
German S –
I enjoyed this course, it includes the architecture, applications and some basic programming examples using Hadoop platform, which is useful to roughly understand some basics of Big Data and distributed computation
Shubham A G –
Programming assignments were a bit too easy. The course content could use some more depth and assignments a bit more complexity.
Ryan H –
The instructor in week 2 makes me want to kill myself. There are people who can teach, there are people who can’t teach, and there is this guy who absolutely cannot be allowed to teach due to safety reasons.
Harshavardhan A –
Courses are boring. I found free sites and other online courses more interesting. Presenters should improve the pace of the course and keep the professionals engaged.
Luis J L D –
Congratulations execellente course!!
Shrikant P –
Need to improve in assignments and end required practical representation with real scenario and examples.
Omar R –
This course gives a nice introduction to Hadoop basics. Unfortunatly, i faced many issues to work with cloudera VM and some commands in tutorials are obsolete. Thank you very much for your efforts.
Jose J H R –
Good as an introductory course.
suhas C –
Gave Good knowledge
Lee A J –
very basic Spark, hadoop information. I can learn from anywhere that is free.
Davide C –
The course presents a general introduction to Hadoop world, but some explanations aren’ t clear. I appreciated links and references proposed to study other (ex. Python), and section quiz. Are there problems with guides of Cloudera, but can be solved searching on the web (thank you Stackoverflow). FInally, I didn’t like sections presents by the Indian professor, because he “ate the words” and without underline text a lot of phrases were incomprehensible
Sameer U –
Very old lectures and specially spark module is (week 5) is full of mistakes
Eloualid B –
Thanks a lot for this making this course, it explains a lot of things of Hadoop.
Rodolfo B C –
I think that the course needs more activities like configurations and practices
Leon D –
Great simple course to get started in the Hadoop zoo. The VM provided makes getting set up easy enough and is a great tool for assignments. I’d encourage the course creators to keep the VM up to date however, as it’s beginning to accrue technical problems. Make sure you skim the forums for issues with the VM!
lokesh v –
good and helpful for my carrier
Pushpavalli N –
its good and excellent
Mohamed Z –
Good introduction into the BIG Data world
JayanthKumar K –
Good
Ajay R K –
Its been a good journey with all the inputs which provides good command on them. Thanks USCD Team!!
Hasan A –
I hope they update the virtual machine provided and the scripts. Getting the VM to work in its current state requires familiarity with linux (in order to solve the permissions issues among other things). As for the theory and the pace of the lectures. I really concerned myself to have learnt about these subjects. To the lecturers and the staff, Thank you very much!
