The formulas taught in the learnings do not always match the required formula for the lab or the quiz. Very user friendly and great for any skill level.

In my opinion, there are many aspects that need to be updated in this course. Firstly, there are many errors in the presentation of the material. For example, the relationships among entities in the Chinook database are incorrect, among others. Additionally, I hope that Meta would consider changing the types of questions that appear in each video material to ones that require a combination of logical analysis and knowledge, rather than just "yes" or "no" questions. This would help improve the engagement and understanding of course participants overall. Lastly, what I dislike the most is the absence of Meta's instructors who respond to students' questions in the discussion forum. Come on! Take a leaf out of IBM's book, who have their staff respond to every student's confusion. Don't just squeeze money out of us and not take teaching seriously.

The course started out pretty well in the first week, however it went down hill from there. The organization of lectures are not very good. Why would there be a lab on database and table creation before the lecture on CREATE function? Also there is a quiz on 3NF before the lecture on 3NF (though there was reading). There was 1 single exercise for the database design and normalization part, and the database wasn't implemented on the platform so there was actually zero practice. And the final assignment grading was all over the place.

Started out great the first week. Into the 2nd week examples went from the command line to a SQL client that was not introduced or explained. At this point a different instructor would work an example that was out of context and clearly was from another class. Also, I didn't really need to see the instructor the whole time. It would have been much better to leave the slides up instead of constantly going back to a guy who is just standing there talking.

Good but has a lot of issues. Also the final assessment is not based on output but matching things the way they want you todo them and if you do it another way you get scored bad. Apart from that good course.

The final quiz was not clear. It said to enter the the missing word, but then it says to run the whole querry.

The questions on the final exam where you need to right SQL code not related to the database you create are completely broken
