Amazing course for beginners! The entire course is well structured and has good hands-on assignments. SQL is extremely essential for Database management and fun learning so please do try this one out!

I am thankful to coursera for providing database and sql for data science course in such a way that anyone can
understand the basic fundamental of sql and database. I learn a lot from this course.

Overall the course provides the concept of SQL and a great picture. Just with technical issue in the Peer-Graded Assignment, causing spending loads of time to find out the solution, which those time could have been saved.

You will not get any software(MySQL, PostgreSQL) installment process in any videos. They keep explaining thory and give a reading section where you get the real practice. I do not like the way course is designed.

This is a course with a lot of information, but the tutorial is not complete, resulting in a lot of time wasted in the debugging environment. The problem is difficult to solve, which makes me very frustrated

If you have zero knowledge about database and SQL...this should be the right course for you..like me...however, i feel like the course is not very structured and lack materials like questions and exercises.

The course teaches a lot of interesting stuff, but is incredibly frustrating with slow, off-site web applications, interfaces that break. It expects you to carry a lot of files across multiple platforms.

fue poco intuitivo en algunos aspectos y nunca pude lograr crear mi cuenta de ibm cloud porque me daba error. asi que tuve que crear mi propia base de datos y resolver los ejercicios por mi mismo

First student did not check my submission at all gave 0 for all of the questions. I really felt sad because I did correctly for the project. I wish Coursera will do somethings for those mean act.

It's a basic course, I enjoyed the last part where it covers Stored Procedures.
It should emphasize more in just pure SQL and teaching advanced techniques than promoting the use of IBM services.

the course is good but the way they teach you is not as good as other IBM courses it was bit confusing for me where to write the code etc the instructions were not as clear as they should be

Useful course, but the instructors aren't engaging enough in my opinion. I only really felt interested right at the end, when I was trying to work things out in the final assessment.

It should be stated that the exercises need to be completed in Watson Studio because there are errors with the Lab tool. I lost a lot of time doing this module with these errors.

Not super clear and struggles a bit with accessing and connecting to the DB2 I think the examples should match what is on the assignment and really break down the query language.

The labs in this course did not work. This led me to using external platforms for my assignment which took a lot of time to configure and install relevant modules and libraries.

In my opinion there could be a few things that are done better. Mainly when it comes to quizes and assessments as some other SQL for Data Science courses do it much better.

Useful content but quite a lot of poorly described questions/labs, broken questions, and quiz answers that are 'correct' but not aligned to what we were taught in the labs.

The content of the course was good but it should be updated and coorcted. Especially in week 4 I spent more time working on Labs to work than actually working in the Labs.

Overall, the course provided the basic necessities in learning SQL, though I think that the depth of instruction was lacking in topics surrounding the built-in functions.

The speaker in the videos goes too fast. The hands-on labs are very useful and were my primary sources of learning. The videos didn’t help much with the learning process.

The Jupyter Notebook portion was difficult to setup. The instructions for the Jupyter Notebook were incorrect. I had to rely on forum comments to fix the problem.

Far fewer review questions throughout the videos in comparison to previous courses on top of quite a few of the labs not working or lacking in some instructions.

The course is useful in general but the final assignment was rather complicated. These kinds of sub-queries should be included in labs during the course as well.

The python portion of the course is not very involved and poor usage of style (lack of upper case SQL keywords) makes learning more difficult than necessary.

Code presented in the quizzes is really hard to parse, as it is presented in plain text without any highlighting. Slides and texts contain various typos.

The environment is difficult to set up. For someone who knows SQL and has worked on other platforms the IBM Cloud and workspace are difficult to set up.
