Very good and useful practice of SQL. The JOIN party is pretty hardcore so I definitely couldn't master it but got enough of an understanding where I could learn quickly with some on the job training.

An excellent course for learning analysis techniques using Spreadsheets and SQL. Recommended for all engineering and data science students as well as for those managing businesses and human resource.

-the course has so many problems like( in first week it was too tutorial and i didn't learn any new things and the same for week two with little more new information i learned compared to the first week but still a waste of time
and for the third week it was complete disaster where the trainer used very advanced code for someone who is just starting learning sql coding and didn't even explain the codes she just wrote them i got very frustrated from unprofessional teaching and for week 4 it wasn't so bad but yet not what i expected from google certificate course hence there are some missing materials missing like the database in
(Hands-On Activity: Create temporary tables) is completely wrong .overall i give this course 1 star and if i could i would give it negative stars it was just a waste of time.

This course was a bomb compared to the others in the unit so far. Unlike the other lessons, this unit was not up to date with SQL, BigQuery, or the other resources used. It also had major transfer issues from Excel to Google Sheets. While it's important to know Sheets, a majority of companies use Excel. Not adapting to that made a lot of the projects much more difficult. It also had a tendency to assume that the students knew where things would be. In one lesson, the "BigQuery" search for city bikes in Austin is actually under the "Austin Crime Report." How would anyone know that? All of this plus the instructor being very difficult to listen to made it a lesson that I would have preferred to skip.

This course felt very disjointed, as if the curriculum/script writers hadn't seen any of the other material. Sometimes the presenter would type way too fast and sometimes she would be covering material we had already gone over as if we had never seen it before. Everything in this course seemed out of order. For example, in this course they were teaching us what an underscore was. Should hope we know that by now, but maybe that should have been taught earlier if they felt it was a necessary explanation. I just wanted this course to be over as fast as possible and did not feel like I really learned the material because I just wanted to know enough to pass and move on because I was so frustrated.

The class started off ok, but the final exam was full or errors. Overall, The queries were presented in a very disjointed manner and hard to follow. It was at the same time too basic then got really hard, then very basic. Please review the material for consistency. The final took me 12 times to pass, which is very strange as I have taken many many graduate courses (and had no issues with previous courses). I will have to supplement my learning with other materials. The teacher and content was worth viewing to gain an overview. However, the exam questions were what gave this a 1 star. I wasted about 5 hrs trying to take the final. It should have taken me 30 mins.

I really struggled with this course! It was super frustrating because almost all of the lessons were broken, in that I received countless syntax errors that required me to research why and because the instructions were just simply wrong. Several things seemed to be outdated and returned errors or were otherwise inconsistent with the videos. The instructor did a poor job explaining what she was typing and doing, resulting in endless pauses and rewinds to be able to follow along visually. The whole thing just seemed to be thrown together with very little effort and almost no emotion or personality. Glad this one is over!

This is the most important course of this certificate program yet the instruction and instructor are the worst. I felt like jumping from here to there without understanding things. The course never explains the logic of the programming language, it keeps telling me what syntax it is, so it expects me to memorize every syntax???
Absolutely no star I would say, I pass the quizzes 30% on guessing, and it should have been 5% or less like other program courses.

The worst course within the GDA certificate, but contains the MOST IMPORTANT info for being Data Analytics. The videos about SQL and PIVOT of this course are confusing, there are many notes within the video to correct the instructor, seems so. Hardly achieveable for beginners at SQL. I am desperate about learning SQL with these videos. Previous courses with this Certificate were a way better ...

The pacing of this course was completely different from other courses. The instructor sometimes moved way too fast without thoroughly explaining some of the more complex topics, while other times there were really slow "refreshers" on very simple topics. The courses before this were definitely structured better.

Horrible explanations overall, especially so for Week 3's topic on subqueries. The entire time I felt as if I was simply mirroring the instructor without proper explanation as to why she performed the respective steps. Also, some datasets used in the videos cannot be found on BigQuery's public datasets.

Does not go in depth into technical skills like other online courses such as Udacity. Tries to cover a lot of material such as spreadsheets and SQL very superficially. I would only recommend this course if you absolutely have no knowledge at all about data analysis.

Worst course out of all. No structure, nothing related to analysis, just vague queries and explanations. And oh my, I believe this instructor was underpaid than the others the way she was teaching.

By far the worst instructor in the Google Analytics series. It felt like the instructor was just reading a script, with no effort to explain concepts or build on what they were trying to teach.

Need improvement in the course content. The instructor was too fast and skipped the basic information required to understand by a newbie. Moreover her way of teaching is also not good

Very poor explain, jumps from 2 to 10 in one video. NOT Recommended and is better to learn SQL in another place and came back for the certificate. Really disappointment

This course does not teach data analytics (how to add value with data analysis). It teaches tools used in data analytics.

Too many mistakes that the lecturer made and fixed by pop up. By far the least explanations the lecturer gave in videos.

The SQL parts are a didactic nightmare. It's rather overpromising and underdelivering.
