This course isn't hands on like the other ones in the specialization as the topics are slightly theoretical in nature. But the quality is still good.

The topic that Microsoft deemed crucial was handled with no sense of cohesion. There was no gradual development of knowledge because of the lack of structure. The topics introduced in one video were carried over to the next, with much of the same information being repeated.
I found this course very irrelevant, resolving to study on my own, outside Coursera.

Excelente curso, totalmente alineado a la información contenida en microsoft learn y el examen, personalmente me hubiera gustado que abordaran un poco más power BI, sin embargo la información es suficiente para tener un buen desempeño en el examen

Microsoft could do better in terms of naming its plethora of data warehouse technologies. The only thing hard about this course was keeping up with all the different names. The instructor was very informative and spoke very eloquently.

I wish the course was more hands on and also had more text. The only hands on part was Azure Synapse Analytics, but the rest of the Azure apps mentioned was just videos about the apps without even a walkthrough. I was hoping PowerBI was going to be hands on because it takes up the entire week 2 but its just videos I could have just watched on Youtube. The course is short so I finished during the free trial and did learn Synapse so I am kinda satisfied. Thank you.

It was informative but hard to keep up with. It was as if the instructor was in a race to finish. I did slow it down but then, the playback became a little choppy.
There was no practical demonstration to illustrate the subject matter.
