It was a informative and precise course with sufficient labs to get hands on.
I found Normalization is pretty tricky to implement. More detailed readings shall help me improve and gain confidence.

They do not teach Databases and SQL anywhere like here. Meta sure does Software Engineering very differently. If you want to be the best, I guess you ought to learn from the best.

Muy buen repaso para quien ya han estudiado temas de base de datos.

great but maybe it needed to be more practical and code based

The first 3 weeks are the best part of the course. There is mention at the beginning of setting up a XAMPP instance on your local machine but no actual instructions. There are lab environments but every single one is a blank slate which presents issues later on where you're supposed to update or delete from a database that doesn't exist. The student needs to create it first so they can use the insert code to populate the database for the exercise. There are some issues with quizzes over information that hasn't been learned yet and the videos immediately after covering what you were just quizzed on. Week 4 takes a nose dive as they attempt to teach normalization. It's very theory heavy with no actual lab environment to practice in. The material is ok, but there are other courses out there that teach the same material in a better manner. The final assessment includes some problems where you type in the SQL command to get a resulting table. There is one instance where capitalization of your answer should be doesn't match the capitalization of the table you're supposed to create. I'd only suggest taking this course as part of the overall Meta specialization. As a standalone class you're better off looking elsewhere.

The videos were clear and professional, but the quizzes, readings and assignments were absolutely riddled with errors and insufficient information (example: you have to write a line of SQL to do a database operation but they don't tell you the name of the table, so you have to guess, and if you get it wrong they just say "go rewatch the video"). If you're going to take this, keep the discussion forum open at all times.

The final assessment was not clear nor well thought out. Should have been a lab button. Foreign Key question had an incomplete table creation field. This is what got you a 3. Students should not have to experience such a poorly put together final assessment.

The final quiz is really frustrating. It's really easy to enter the correct answer wrong. Wrong according to the validation process. Not actually a wrong answer.

TLDR version: Good course overall with room for improvement. Quizzes are problematic sometimes.

Still need to be include some basics like JOINS and improve the grading assessment in week 5

There is a little bit of SQL programming skills that you can learn from this course.

Perhaps the worst course from the Back-end Development Specialization.
Some quizzes and SQL exercises are not in sync with the content taught.
