There should be far less biographies. The courses should be focused on the topic

Really basic stuff, therefore I felt the course to be flat with no excitement.

Hands on projects were difficult for a beginner, great instructors

I think it needs more training or be 2 separate courses.

I know it's about SQL but this lecturer was very bland.

Needs to be more in depth and explained better

Some of the activities were confusing.

got burned out, its kinda to large

This was somewhat difficult.

Linux content lacks depth

good course ... loved it

satisfied

Relies heavily on qwiklabs. The qwiklabs implementation is broken. I am stuck on infinite CAPTCHA attempts. Thankfully this is review, but for a student for whom it is not review, this is unacceptable. Students experiencing the same would be right to ask for a refund.

The coverage of Linux and SQL are too basic. The content of this course could have been presented in a few pages.

Too Technical, some of the labs lack specific instructions, making it highly complicated to complete.

no where near enough information to be able to do SQL join tables

the girl hosting... was very boring to listen to...

unable to get my certificate

My name is not on the cert

I really disliked the instructor for this course. For the amount of knowledge and heavy, and I mean HEAVY, course load of leaning something as complex as SQL- this instructor did a horrible job compared to the other courses. I had a 4.9 gpa in college and I equated this to ONE course I couldn't pass due to the instructor (the course had a 36% pass rate which included people taking it for the second time). Instructors or Teachers matter, and had there been a better teacher I might've had an easier time completing this course. Granted, I completed it in 4 days with an 80-something%, my normal is 9something% in about 2 days. This instructor did not explain the information effectively. Also, for something as complex as this, once you PASS a test - there should be an explanation on a question you got wrong. For my final test I had to take it 4 times, and still got the exact question wrong every time even when I passed. I have no idea how to learn from my mistake.

First off, whoever developed these courses developed them to purposely leave out vital and helpful information, such as the shortcuts for moving from line-to-line in queries. The online support chat would not even tell me. This lead to a lot of errors. Second, the videos and the chapters do not do a good job of explaining the syntax of queries. The videos hold back and give the most basic, but when you get to the lab activities they make them more difficult and expect learners to be able to get them done. It gives a sense to me that learners have to figure it out without any guidance. Its worse than a college class. At least in a college class there is a physical person who you can go to for guidance. "I understand its not made to be easy, but this is stuff that requires extra guidance. Do better, Google!

Doesn't say when things and case-sensitive and when they are tells you that you got something wrong but not what you got wrong. The labs have issues with them so when you input something right it tells you that you did it wrong even though when you go into the review and check how it wants you to put in the commands is the same as what you entered. Haven't had a problem with the overall coarse until now.

Everything GOOD but in last my ask to Financial aid to get 100% discount as first ones to find a job. They don't accept and ask me to pay for that ( 75% . if course project. May be this information will help you to find don't get attention to this course to earn certificate and think you will get for free Cybersecurity Certification to find a new job. Please don't waste your time.

the linux system keeps logging me out and makes it difficult for me to log back in by giving me this error "Oops! Something went wrong. This page encountered an error. If the problem persists: Refresh the page. Try again later. Contact Coursera Support."

This class really held me up as the quizes asked for extremely specific command lines and syntax when even the instructor in the video admits that it would be extremely difficult for a beginner to memorize said syntax and command lines
