Amazing course for beginners! The entire course is well structured and has good hands-on assignments. SQL is extremely essential for Database management and fun learning so please do try this one out!

Great course easy to follow, very good notes, videos and guidance on how to complete the assignments. This is a great introduction course to begin your knowledge and training to be a Data Scientist.

SQL is useful stuff, and the other courses in this track (data science professional certificate) are great, but this course has way, way too many errors in assignments, workbooks etc. The course material needs a major overhaul to make sure
1. Assignment problems are clearly and unambiguously defined
2. Example syntax actually works in the SQL dialect being used in the notebook
3. When saying stuff like "create table like in week 2 Lab 1, part II", make sure that part 2 of lab 1 in week 2 actually has anything to do with creating tables (it currently does not), etc.
4. When saying "replace the part in angled brackets below with...", make sure there actually is a part in angles brackets below
Etc. etc.;I have wasted a lot of frustrating time trying to figure out stuff that had nothing to do with SQL because of the sheer amount of errors and inaccuracies like this in this course.

Graded peer assignment links are not working. It seems no one actively maintains the course content. Never expected this from IBM

The beginning started simple enough to follow. The learning curve jumps from 0 to 100 in a short time. Not an ideal intro course. The labs are much more complex than what is taught. Instructions how to restart and operate a Run a new SQL was not shown and I had to spend lots of time trying to figure it out on my own. The powerpoints and information are easy to follow but the ease of use through IBM's platform is not friendly. Definitely easier places to learn as I have taken other courses online for intro SQL. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this. I'd either use it in a Free Trial or Audit it. For that value, you can spend your money elsewhere.

There is a lot of issues in the videos. The content are unordered, sometimes "teaching" advanced functions before the basics without explaining this advanced functions. Sometimes in the video, examples of functions are wrong, like example 14 in "Date and Time Built-in Functions": SELECT FROM_DAYS((DATEDIFF(CURRENT_DATE, RESCUEDATE)) FROM PETRESCUE. FROM_DAYS counts days since 01/01/0000, so the result of this statement would be a non-sense one. Take care, you are preparing future professionals. Erros like that can be harmful for a career. And I'm not mentioning minor erros, like gramatical errors, typos, etc...

1. Lots of the slides have repetitive content, for Ex. different type of joins, Every slide have some repeating lines/audio. Could have taken some different use case or else could have combined it making it a single slide for each joins.
2. The "Table Loading Issue" its been a week now I am facing this issue, even have posted in the forum, the solution provided is also not working. Every time I try loading the table in db2 it fails, without giving any error/warning message. I am almost done except a few assignments and final peer graded assignment due to this I am not able to complete my course.
