Very good and useful practice of SQL. The JOIN party is pretty hardcore so I definitely couldn't master it but got enough of an understanding where I could learn quickly with some on the job training.

An excellent course for learning analysis techniques using Spreadsheets and SQL. Recommended for all engineering and data science students as well as for those managing businesses and human resource.

There is no longer any explanation of SQL in module 3. Believe me it is an awful section.

First of all I want to emphasize the fact that I am not a hater, troll or anything like that. In terms of Data Analysis, this course is NOT CURRENT -Most of the actions in spreadsheet are out of date since the software update, NOT CORRECT -The files have errors that don't permit them to be loaded in SQL, -The information and steps provided are not correct -There is no comment and description about the actions/shortcuts performed(I guess debutants are supposed to know that then), -We need to spend as much time learning than correcting the files for them to actually work properly NOT ORGANIZED -We jump from writing simple queries in the previous course(s) to writing long and advanced queries with no prior mention of their effects, -We go from proctors explaining SLOWLY and PROGRESSIVELY line by line of each query to writing 10+ lines queries without precise explanation, -We have incredibly long readings documents without any prior video explanation or EXEMPLES of what they are use for, -We jump from readings to hands on practice without any surrounding context, -No glossary for the first 2 modules -The content of modules is ridiculously disparate (Module 4 have 5 chapters!!!!! and all very technical) -The increase in complexity is not well balanced and not well explained -Was there some type of competition with the proctor for her to talk as fast as possible while explaining(and there was very little explanation)It's ridiculously comical. The lack of organization makes this course painfully difficult to follow. This course is completely at the opposite of the previous courses which I genuinely loved all the activities and how they are organized, from the short explanation videos, readings, hands on practice and exercises, they were SMOOTH and STRAIGHTFORWARD. This course, which seems like one of the main important, is very disappointing and should be updated and reorganized. I personally gave up on following the steps-by-steps activities in this course because of spending so much time looking for the correct file, trying to figure out how to correct it etc. PS: why do we have to download a different file for each single activity? Can't we download one file per module and work on the same file instead of having so many file??? Thank god I have a strong background in coding languages and Python because if I was really a debutant, I would have struggled badly.

This is genuinely the most confusing lesson I could imagine with almost no explanation from the course instructor. I am specifically referring to the sections on aggregate functions and subqueries (week 3), though this entire sections has been rough and confusing.
This is very complicated coding for a beginner (this course's target demographic) and it is breezed by with nowhere near enough explanation as to what these queries accomplish, how and when to use them, and how to format these queries. I took a different SQL coding course before this course and this lesson has confused queries and concepts that I had decent comprehension of before taking this lesson.
On top of all of that, BigQuery uses different dialect and formatting than any of the other SQL programs and servers that I have used. It also is very buggy and doesn't operate as indicated by the weekly lessons. Oftentimes the weekly assignments' instructions are outdated and need addendums to each step of the instructions, further confusing the concepts.

The instructor seems to be out of pace, especially at week 4.
Especially when it comes to SQL, at the earlier weeks, she adds too many things that weren't mensioned before which caused me confusion and lead me to look up every previous material in the course which resulted in me wasting my time.
It was good for me, cause i looked everything up on my own. But it wasn't good for the course experience i.e having to put into account that the instructor might introduce things unexplained and are also complex.
I might sound like being irrational and over inflating things but compared to the "prepare" and "process" courses in this series, this one is a big leap backwards when it comes to the instructor and the way things ,that are to be given to the student, are ordered.

The lecturer was quick, not thorough with her explanations, and generally, felt like she just wanted to rush through the topic. The examples she used in her explanations a majority of the time did not work, which I then had to look at the discussion forum to find solutions for. Overall, I found the other courses to be done quiet well, It was concise, explanations were thorough and the examples were spot on, however, with this course, I was very disappointed. I had to do most of my own research for the topics so I could learn on my own. The lecturer did not help.
