About the Course

This course will introduce students to the basics of the Structured Query Language (SQL) as well as basic database design for storing data as part of a multi-step data gathering, analysis, and processing effort. The course will use SQLite3 as its database. We will also build web crawlers and multi-step data gathering and visualization processes. We will use the D3.js library to do basic data visualization. This course will cover Chapters 14-15 of the book “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-13 of the textbook and the first three courses in this specialization. This course covers Python 3....

The course is great... You can definitely learn many things... Was kind of hard for me and i went many times back and forth through most of the lectures... However i think i learn many new things....

This course was great! I enjoyed parsing different types of data: from documents and the web. This course is definitely (rudimentary) a must take course for anyone who wants to go into data science.

Excellent - but I wish that the course had tougher assignments to really push me to practice on the topic - although I admit this is hard to grade.

I think the DB topic should include deeper knowledge. This was a very light introduction and it is not enough for coding in a professional IT job

Week 5 was very poor, out of date and it could be better comparing to the previous weeks. Professor is very good, I just expected more in the end.

Another great course, just lacked bit more info on databases like showing how JOIN works, HAVING BY, and nested SELECT to do complicated queries.

Unlike the other courses, the material was quite new. And the videos were shorter than the first one. The assignments were also quite simple too

Very useful course. The instructor has a smooth teaching approach that's about as motivating as it gets. Thanks a lot Coursera and Dr. Chuck.

I think it could be better if I have more time to see the PPT and write down the important thing rather than change the screen too often.

Nice course . The part of SQL DATABASE was amazingly taught. If python implementation would have been little bit more , it would be great

this course is just as a preparation for database with python, we need to learn more or to learn other courses if we want to be experts.

Good course material but the assignments are too basic! Simply copying code or adding a few lines, but not as much hands on as I'd like.

It is a good course to learn about the very basics of Databases. And use Python to create our own database files using python commands.

There are some concepts which were not elaborated very well. I request the faculties to add extra lectures as it might help beginners.

A bit too easy. I really wish there'd be a more advanced project for us to better understand and implement the database and python
