The course is very excellent however I have faced an issue with IBM DB2cloud .At the time of final assignment submission it was not working and always showing 502 bad request ,So I have faced little obstacles during completion of my final assignment.Otherwise the course is brilliant

Good course with very useful and valuable material. However, there were times when there were issues with loading data to work on assignments. Additionally, IBM updated their cloud system, it can be challenging to follow the course directions because they are not up-to-date.

Peers need to understand the description and the submissions to review the assignments. I have been reviewed as not attempted for Problem 7 and partially mark for a completely correct Problem 9.
I don’t want any person who cannot understand the questions and answers.

The wording of some lab questions were asking for result sets that were a bit different from what the solutions were. Some work on the ambiguity would be appreciated. And incorporating more of the multiple table query concepts in the videos would be better.

It is a good introductory course for individuals who would like to understand the the basics of how to work data (Load data into a database, query for relevant data using primary and foreign keys from different tables) and understand the fundamentals of SQL

I think the course should include as mandatory the week 6 that is noly required for the Engeneer Specialization. I know that joins are crucial in many queries. If you don't know how to implement them I feel you are literally halfway in important SQL skill.

This course was helpful to provide the basics of SQL and how to connect to the databases using API's.
Overall the course was beautifully written and could be helpful for the beginners who have just made the first or baby step in world of data engineering.

well done excellent work i am giving four because you need to improve in the areas add important points such as the schema to be used in the assignment should be similar to the connection made and time stamp should also be included in important section

Hands on LAB was helpful for practicing. Though there were too many terms to memorize that it would have been helpful to actually have a kind of cheat sheet hand out prior to each video lesson to help in understanding and following the lectures.

muy buen curso, el problema que tenido es en el examen final, la pagina se reiniciaba cada vez que marcaba una respuesta y la traduccion se cambiaba a cada momento, todo esto me llevo mas tiempo y menos tiempo para pensar las respuestas.

Tuve problemas importantes a la hora de poder realizar el ejercicio final, no cargaba la base de datos en Jupyter y tuve que hacerlo directamente en DB2 IBM donde ciertos comandos no funcionaban y no lanzaba la información correctamente

This course offers a good first overview of working with SQL and database systems. It relies a bit too much on external IBM tools while a more general approach, with the open to get introduced to IBM tools, would be more appropriate.

Good course; got lost in instructions a few times and had to restart the support programs from scratch but got there in the end. Probably jumped in a little too deep and needed to take a few steps back in what course I chose.

well organized course, the labs and assignments were very helpful to practice and gain skills the only drawback was lack of explanations about some lines of code in the labs, you need to search and understand it your self.

I took this course to refresh my SQL skills. In general, this is a good course, but I think there was a little practice. It will be more useful for students to be required to do more tasks and assignments for asessments.

Mostly very good, however there are times when the labs and homework seem inconsistent with the material presented and the difficulty level seems to ramp up beyond the material that was presented in the course material.

The SQL in this course is at an introductory level. Great for someone who has not worked with SQL before, but a bit slow if you have SQL experience. I particularly enjoyed the section about integrating Python and SQL.

good course, but will 5 star if IBM give me a trial account to access to db2 in short time to do home work. db2 on ibm cloud need visa card to sign in , some homework i use microsofr sql sever instead to do home work

The course provides an introduction to SQL but some arguments - such as basic syntax - are only presented and not explained in-depth.
On the other hand, the second part of this course features very interesting labs.

It was really great but i had some issues with the Skills Network Lab while working with DB2. I am happy just wanted to make sure other learners don't get the same issues. Thank you so much for the great course

Issues with DB2 loading tables apparently due to different versions was the only technical problem encountered by myself several others (see forum) made me loose a lot of time. Otherwise this is a great course.

It will give you an idea of what can you do with free databases resourses using sql to manipulate relational databases. you'll also utilize jupiter notebooks to query data connecting the notebook to a database.

I feel like I have learned a lot about SQL from this course since I am not from Computer Science background and the way the course structure was like a step by step manner which made the learning more easy.

This was a very interesting course. It was harder than it needed to be due to a few errors in code, but that also made it more interesting and challenging to verify that you were retaining the information.
