Absolutely irrelevant and outdated content. None of instructions are reflecting current state of Google Cloud. Google Cloud is absolutely unnecessary for the course and could be easily replaced by a local Jupyter notebook. Notebooks provided produce errors and warnings in almost every cell. The course is really bad. The only reason I stayed was the guy from New York Institute of Finance who talks very basic but very usefull stuff.

I understand that this course is not about building the world's best high frequency trading model. On the other hand, it should at least be about making a serious attempt to build a trading model, which is something the series of courses has so far neglected to even attempt.

You should stop offering this course if you are not going to fix that Auquan no longer works. The code fix you suggested for the Yahoo Finance changes no longer works. Please see the discussion boards because this is true for many people.

It was not as practical as I thought.
In this course, complete contents are not expressed and it is necessary to search for topics.
Access to the lab is difficult to code. And coding exercises are not purposeful

Needs actual exercises. All of the programming examples are pre-written or copy/paste. No real hand on learning opportunities.

I've taken many courses on Coursera, but I regret to say that this one is by far the worst.
