This course though looks quite simple but is very exhaustive and needs lot of dedicated effort to complete this course. Overall a very good learning experience related to cloud computing.

Course is nice, but one will get tired trying to keep up with so many protocols, algos.

Prior experience on any one distributed compute framework or Cassandra would be extremely helpful.

The programming assignement was very long in relation with the resto of assignements (quiz). However, the course's content is very interesting and complete.

Great course overall as it gives a deep understanding of the cloud technologies. Some homework are too tedious to finish and not really interesting.

Excellent primer on distributed systems theory and practice, but the programming assignment was complicated by low quality template code.

The contents cover a vast set of topics. just what i was expecting. I was hoping some good books, papers would be suggested

Really hardcore computer science course. Sometimes, reading original papers is necessary to really understand the topic.

Great, and highly relevant/topical, content. However I found the quiz assignments to be needlessly tedious at times.

Many homework questions are confusing while there is no assistants/moderators to clarify in discussion forums.

Great fundament courses. I refreshed many concepts, I forgot due to different skills I covered in my career

should make the exam easier, and this course only teaches concepts and it asked you to do a C++ assignment

Please discuss in brief the steps for solving programming assignment. The rest of the course is fantastic.

Very good intro to a number of distributed computing topics. Challenging assignment and engaging material.

Great course! I learnt basics of current cloud computing technologies, even this is really tough course.

I liked the course, but the level of the exams is much higher than the material that was shared.

Programming assignment is the great experience and effective exercise for the course topic.

Materials are long and the cause content is very rich. Chandy Lamport is nightmare...

Really good, however having to write the assignment in c++ is a downer.

Very very tough class. The notes are very intensive for each lecture.

It's a great course, but the assignments are kind of annoying.

Course is great, but some lectures feel slightly outdated

This is by far the best course i have seen in courseera

Very difficult programming assignment if not an expert.

Nice quiz and assignment! Interesting teacher :)

Covered the basics of cloud computing very well.
