This course has really helped with optimizing queries that I work with everyday, enhancing my understanding of RDBMS, joins, analyzing and structuring exactly what you need and yielding those results.

I thought this course was great! Great introduction to Relational Databases and SQLite. Highly reccomend for anyone new to SQL, Databases, or someone looking to get started with a data science career.

The course was overall very good. One thing which I felt can be improved is the pace of the modules. The level towards the end shot up very quickly.
I would definitely recommend this course for anyone who wants to start with SQL.

Good course to learn SQL queries. I think it will be helpful for someone who wants to pursue a career in data science. Final assignment and quizzes however were very confusing and not in line with what was taught in the videos.

A good introduction to SQL. The first few weeks were very informative and easy to follow, however week 3 and week 4 seemed disjointed. Some topics were covered very briefly, so I feel like my understanding Is not quite complete.

very nice course and good explanation
would have been nice if a summary document would have been provided at the end of each module to be able to look up content more easy and have a guide when writing applications later in time

It was my first time doing a peer review assignment and it increase my knowledge a lot by seeing different ways to solve the same problem and different ways of thinking.
The Assignment was very helpful on apply what you learn.

its much easy to understand the queries with the simple explanation . Best for beginners but I suggest to go through sql and how queries work before starting this course so that it will be helpful to quickly grasp the queries

Everything was good except there was a sudden rise in difficulty level of question in day 2&3.
And also i think that if the instructer had asked to guess answer during teaching, it would had given a much clearer solutions.

I think the course need more practice quiz and all practice code quizzes answers should be put.Because If I don't remember wrong, Week2 and Week3 practice quizzes answers were not put. Apart from these the course is so good.

Great introduction into SQL and very well explained. If I had to critize something, I would say that the examples presented should also be from chinook.db. In this way it would be easier to follow and also try for yourself.

I think the peer-reviewed assignment should be only on the last portion of the last project for the custom data analysis part only. Because the other questions are very technical and can accelerate the process of grading :)

I enjoyed the course and learnt quite a lot in a relatively short time. My only critic is that I felt there was a gap between the depth with which each topic was cover in the lectures and the complexity of the final exam.

Nowadays SQL is majorly using for Data Preparation, not for analysis as we have many advanced softwares to do that. Just one suggestion: Can you add a section how data can be transfered from SQL after Data preparation ?

I believe this course focused entirely on retrieving data and no emphasis was given on creating or modifying tables. If these topics would have been included then it can come out as a complete package for learning SQL

This is a great course for beginners. One of the things which can be improved is to have more practice questions to use all the concepts introduced in the lectures. For example: I did not get a lot of chance to create

The Course was a great, well structured and gave good hands on experience with the queries and quizzes. The only thing lacking was no proper instructions were given to use the sandbox, I really struggled with that.

Course videos could include the respective output after showing codes. it is hard to imagine the output when we first get to know a new sql function.
Some peer review assignment questions are hardly understandable.

I have prior knowledge on SQL as a programmer. However after studying this course I got a another flavor of SQL from the Data Science point of view. I loved this course and the trainer as well. Thank you coursera.

It was really good but the only downside for me was the final exam, setting up DBeaver was a challenge for someone with no prior experience. I would have liked it to be on coursera like the whole module has been.

Some examples in the later part of the course is a bit difficult to understand for those with limited programming background. Few broken down, step by step examples of complex queries will be highly appreciated.

The videos and explanations are nice but it would be excellent if the running of SQL code and its outcome
Will also be shown in the video so as to explain the minute difference between two functions in the code

The course was very well organized and the instructor was fabulous. I just wish we had received more practice exercises as I feel that I know the material theoretically well but practically I'm less confident.

The course is mostly based on theoretical content, which makes it a pretty good foundation for those who have never touched SQL. I would rate this course 5 star if it provided more examples and applications.

The first two modules are okay and easy to understand, but the last two modules are little bit confusing, and from my perspective, the instructor is simply reading the script rather than teaching a lesson.

Easy to understand and learn basic SQL concepts over 4 weeks. Only wish it was longer with more opportunities to practice coding. Will definitely look at taking a more advanced SQL course through Coursera.

The final project was way harder than the materials taught in classes, It would be better if they teach more before letting us handle such challenging task. Still the course was great, and I learned a lot.
