In all honesty, this course was exactly what I was looking for!! Nonetheless, from the perspective of a student, I've come to understand what differentiates the "great" universities from the very good. Once again, being blunt to the point of discomfort, a great teacher will cover the topic of the class with a perfect amount of complexity, completely saturating the exploration of the important concepts.

This means that specific points are allocated appropriate amounts of repetition, the breadth of key notions match their relevance, the examples are exhaustive and scale in difficulty adequately, the simplification is elegant, etc. etc. The teacher of this course is very respectable, and one should be very, very content having him as a mentor. However, there is a moment of enlightenment that occurs when one experiences an exemplary teacher.

All complaints about the size of the cherry atop the ice cream sunday aside, thank you for your time and I look forward to completing the remainder of this series!

I'm torn, because on one side this course is giving really practical touch to translating computing into daily business activities, on the other side it's within the presentation/videos very generic (a lot od talking, not much synthetical slides). And it does require python intermediate level as well as github experience. Me as a person without the technical background and knowledge of programming could not leverage on labs at all.

DevOp concepts are explained well and taught, but web deployment at the end gets a bit tangled up. Amazon also updated cloud9 interface so some things need to be learned independently. I look forward to the remaining courses in the specialization.

Really loved some of the tutorials on here, however, there were a few with bugs and errors that should be updated. Overall though, great intro to all the cloud services and jargon you hear. Looking forward to the next courses.

Update guidelines and addend follow ups

Informative & Excellent

Amazing course

good

The quizzes/tests are terrible, they don't accurately measure knowledge of the subject.

This is a pretty basic course, mostly covering terminology and concepts. Coding along with the instructor is pretty easy to do - but the versions of the tools have changed some since the course was corrected.

N​ot the latest information used. Some videos very lengthy due to bugs of the instructor

Good

feels like watching youtube videos
