It was too easy to practice server things with a guided project. Thank you Coursera.

It was great, just needed furhter hands on experience of the basics and next level of the same course. When basics are unclear one can't do better with advanced level. Without advanced course basics are not meaninful.

Needs an update to correspond with the way the current version of AWS looks like. Also the speaker is difficult to follow at times.

i want clear but some points have to be detailed for better understanding, e.g: the object classes

There should be free account provided to students without taking credit or debit card details.

Not much gain in knowledge at the end as we are only following the instructions blindly

It's a short and easy project BUT the Amazon S3 interface and settings have changed a lot since this course was published. Had to spend a lot of time figuring out where everything was since a lot of it didn't match up to what was being shown in the video, particularly the sections on access and encryption. Was overall helpful but it was fairly confusing at times and I had to backtrack a lot and do some searching to find where things were.

The platform gets 5 stars -- the content 1 star.

I took the quiz and received a certificate PRIOR to doing the exercise. The quiz should be many more questions, and the questions should be focused on the exercise.

The video guide was quite outdated and had to resort to other sources to really understand the project, though was able to understand the fundamental concepts presented in the course.

This small project requires you to setup an AWS account and even requires you to provide billing information for the FREE account. Don't bother.

The AWS platform from the video is outdated from the present AWS interface which is somehow hard to follow.

Very frustrating to only be able to listen and not actually follow along due to account issues (I made an account and was able to follow along as we were creating a bucket, but when I tried to move on it said I don't have access/an account for the S3 service) and I feel as though I'm not getting the most out of it. More of these courses need to be audited. I struggled to even get to the same page as the instructor because the site must have changed over the months/years.
