Course Overview

Big Data Analytics Using Spark course will be helping the students in analyzing the big data sets using the mechanisms of MapReduce, Jupyter notebooks and spark technologies. The ten week Big Data Analytics Using Spark course is the fourth in a series of the “Micro Master” programme by edX. Students will be learning about the difficulties that arise in the parallel computation system. Students will be taught both unsupervised and supervised methods of performing machine learning functions on data sets in the Big Data Analytics Using Spark programme.

The candidates will also be learning about the machine learning library (MLLiB) mechanism in detail and in a comprehensive manner. Big Data Analytics Using Spark by edX will be conducted by experts of computer science. During the course, students will be provided with assignments and video lectures for comprehensive learning. The students will gain and build experience in the machine learning environment using the various tools available. The Big Data Analytics Using Spark certification will be guiding the candidates advanced level.

There are 2 tracks namely the audit and the verified track which are self-paced. The candidates may choose any of these tracks and can be enrolled. The main differences between these 2 tracks are access to the course materials and certificate of participation. During the audit track, the access is limited and no certification is given whereas during the verified track, access is unlimited and a certification is also offered.
