Did not provide enough detail or examples to do complex queries. Never got through all the exam questions and barely passed.

examples are fewer and there's no output of examples makes it hard to understand. Definitely, it needs to be improved.

Assignments could be more basic.

The level of difficulty should gradually increased.

Superb instructor though.
