Content seems like it has been put together in a rush. Platform was down for several days. Peer-review means someone downgrades you for no apparent reason and you have no way of questioning your grader's decisions.

I do not recommend this course!

This is very much focused on the IBM cloud. For someone who is not familiar with it will have to spend a considerable amount of time trying to find which is where. Course documents are outdated specifically on creating DBs on the IBM cloud.

The IBM db thing really should be removed. They are making this unit an advertisement course for IBM's terrible cloud and online hosting service, yet, the experience handling IBM software or Watson contents or IBM cloud is complete torture.

Google Simulating Environment has the bugs and when you writing to Support, this rich guys stat you to do a free "PROD" testing : no way, it's theirs bugs, and I have my own. What the hell are paid for?

Shame on YOU IBM for such solution!

Can't complete the course as they require you to create an IBM cloud account which is impossible to create. Wanted to post on the discussion form, and every time i tried to do it, it said the server was under maintenance.

hello,

I am very mad with registering accounts ibm.

I paid 40$ each month. The course lasts 11 months, and I have only 1 month trial permission.

Do not mention promotion codes. I interupted when I used it.

Bad experiences.

If you do not have prior knowledge of DB2 and IBM Watson this course is not for you! The instruction to connect the two programs to complete the final project are inadequate at best. Would not recommend this course!

It seems like this course should have good content but using MySQL in Skills Network Lab is so insanely buggy it takes me so much time to load labs that should be quick to complete, overall ruining the experience.

Joins should not be an optional topic, and the method taught to join tables together in the early course are never used. The labs were also brutal - the mysql interface is incredibly difficult to work with.

Too little of valuable practice labs if any, where you actively solve the problems or put in code all the theory you've learn so far. Too dependent on IBM Cloud, to which regular student have no access to.

Unable to complete course due to issue with using IBM cloud and the code given not working. Support from coursera , IBM and skills lab unable to help. no response from skills labs support in over a month.

Not a course for beginners. It advances way too fast and the topics are not explained thoroughly as to truly understand them from a beginner standpoint. Would suggest looking for another course...

The one thing you learn is making a account and trying to use IBM database account is awful. Had to give up due to this and it is just terrible. They should just make assignments on quicklab.

The loading data to database and using the database for peer review task took me several days. It was very anoying task. I dealt with time consuming manual jobs rather than wiring codes

There were connection issues with the labs for many users in my course. We couldn't access the course for a full weekend and the instructors did not respond to any messages for 2 days.

The course is essentially an endless powerpoint presentation with AI voices. No walk though, no set ups. Poor design. Can't believe people would pay for money for this course.

Its only about how to connect to IBM DB2. I got stressed out trying to work on the IBM platform. Working on platforms like My SQL is so much smooth when compared to this

Tools used like Database console and Jupyter notebook used also crashes repeatedly. Course just gives very brief introduction to SQL, not much solid content.

Dear mentors, I'm sorry that I was unable to use Db2 in IBM cloud so I couldn't do the hands-on lab. Hope to have solutions from you. Thanks.

Very dissatisfied with DB2. Please use SQLite or other open source SQL as preferred option or make DB2 more useable - cost me a lot of time.

Everyone in this course has problems with IBM Cloud credentials. Staff gives everyone the same generic response and provides no real help.

IBM Cloud registration is ridden with lots of errors such as Error Your account cannot be created at this time. It is so frustrating.

No me parece bien que a mitad del curso para poder seguir adelante te tengas que hacer una cuenta IBM y poner tus datos bancarios...

The worst course I have ever taken. I have no idea what course intended to teach. I would recommend not to take this course.

False pricing. You can't get the certificate unless you pay $45 and it's not stated anywhere before completing the course.
