    Solid exposure to a lot of core SQL topics and the Labs provide a place for structured practice. However, there are a limited number of practice exercises available,

    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.

    The course is good, but i think that you will provide a platform to practice while watching the videos. In some examples the data base is not upload.

    A little to none explanations, very easy quizzes. Low quality slides. Good if you want to remember lines without understanding what they are doing.

    Learnt a lot about connecting database from python and how jupyter notebooks are useful.

    Please mention IBM DB2 only, if it covers only IBM DB2.

    Thanks

    The lesson and video itself is okay in general, but the bugs for the labs and assignment is what makes this course very annoying and time consuming.

    the third party tool failed and it was incredibly frustrating to try and move everything to Watson Studio. Once I got that going tho it was fine.

    Getting the right syntax for Python and SQL together was really tricky/difficult. I wish there were a reference book/website for additional study.

    The basics were easy. The hard part were the instructions in the course didn't tell you all the steps that you needed to do to launch the labs.

    Some of the documents which are referring to IBM cloud are outdated. Otherwise this course is really good some one like who is beginner in SQL.

    The course was pretty dull in my opinion. My overall thought is that they are trying to impress the student rather than teaching the basics.

    This course was OK, but I'd still like to see more hands-on exercises and a final assignment that's more aligned to the prior coursework

    Assignment marked by other classmates is not a correct method. classmates often do not read answer carefully and give a correct grade.

    Does a good job explaining SQL queries. But the final assignment has to be designed better. There are too many repetitive questions.
