I didnt like that the codes were available for us to just run. Sometimes, the code can very depending on what software version you have, which happened to me. So i had to figure out which lines were having trouble or what was wrong with the code.

I was looking forward to learn how to code to get information from social media, which I didn't. I just copied and pasted the code. And if I wanted to repeat that, change some things or do something different, i don't know how. I didn't learn to code for social media.

This is the only Coursera Couse that I would say was a complete waste of my time. The material is severely out of date, the lectures are poorly structured and even the video/audio quality is low. There are other courses on this website that deal with this topic, don't waste your time on this one.

Overall its a good course but a very basic one. You get to know about data scraping and the basic analysis which needs to be done on the datasets. Last two weeks is kind of interesting where the instructor provides more info about the sentiment analysis and the visualization. Good course overall cheers!!

The course gives an overall exposure about the subject. The focus could be tighten into one program, and there could be more readings/videos about the idea how social media data should be analyzed or interpreted. Yet, the course has too much attention to tools (R and Python).

Obviously I learned something from this course, thanks to Dr. Chirag Shah. Unfortunately, there are some parts of this course that needs to be improved, i.e broken link, the mistake in video, and more importantly is how you deliver a structured material. Good luck then.

Tips you into the direction of great resources, but sometimes lacks in the explanations, leaving most code not explained. Not a deal breaker, and a worthy introduction but a more detailed explanation at times would help.

The course is a great for a start in the social media data analytics. The teacher explains the content very well. My rating is four stars because I found expired links and a file with R code that did not compile.

There should be an option that allows you to pass peer assignment reviews if there are no more submitted assignments. Maybe let us review past submissions instead?

The course material should be provided on coursera itself. Instead of having to download a 1.8GB dataset from yelp, the two files could have been shared here.
