    The final quiz is perfect as no one can use all the materials together and should use his/her information to pass the test so the point is realistic.

    It is great course to learn relational databases using different DBMS (Db2, PostgreSQL, and MySQL). Plus, the lab materials are useful to practice.

    Unable to complete course due to broken labs. I'm paying for a broken product I can't refund. This low rating is deserved.

    old way of teaching. Alot of content is suitable for google search engine. Exercises are labor intensive yet the focus could have been put more on understanding and solving problems....

    The course is good but not clearly explianed, at least for me, it's like giving you half the info. and the other half I have to check google or other resources so I can understand the whole idea.

    The project was a huge mess, I like the idea but the implemntation was awful, even the peer grading was a mess cause the images aren't clear.

    I would not recommend this course to anyone.

    This is an introduction course, very basic. I was always able to connect to the Skill Lab server for the hands on assignments. I was also not able to get extension for my IBM cloud account to finish my assignment, this shouldn't part of requirement. When I post messages for help in the forums, there is no TA to answer your question promptly.

    The content is interesting and informative but the mandatory lab software doesn't load properly and there isn't any way around it unless you pretend to do it. Not ideal.

    This is a very good course. I got clear idea/concept about RDBMS which can support my further learning.

    This cours includes many hands-on lab work. Possibly a little bit challenging. But I think those hands-on works are very critical and helpful.

    Excellent course on relational databases. After a theoretical knowledge base you can apply it to PostgreSQL, MySQL and the IBM DB2 cloud.

    The final project is complete and allows you to create your own database.

    I recommend it!

    Great Course.

    I think that it should go deeper about the Normalization concept, but for being an Introduction is really amazing!
