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!

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.
