This class needs to updated to account for newer ArcGIS technology. Peer review can be frustrating, as peers have different versions of ArcGIS and cannot open newer ArcGIS documents. Content is not engaging. It would be helpful to have quizzes and activities that directly intersperse with and relate to the lecture versus an hour or so of lecture followed by a quizzes. I do not feel like I was immersed in meaningful learning.

The assigmentes after every lesson was step-by-step conducted, but que final lesson was "do yourself", with diferents topic of the class.

They reprove me, but I have no explanation because the class finish at 31 and today 31 they say I have to switch the course. I fell really cehated and unsatisfy and I will not finish the specialization anymore.

Thos was the worst Cousera course that I did.

It has been impossible to download ArcGIS on our computers and no attention from the creators has been provided by the creators. Definitely do not recommend the course...
