    the data modelling part did not cover advanced topics on super type and sub type concepts. also not a single class on design patterns. wish they had a practical case study assignment.

    Fair enough. Good material and content for someone new or that needs to remember basic concepts about databases. Not needed if the main focus is DWH and experience with DB exists

    There were some assignments that were extremely long. A few documents need to be updated for errors. In general, a very thorough course on database modeling.

    A good course to start you with the basics of Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). Covers topics like ER diagrams, Normalization and SQL.

    Good Course with good learning, but at some places it becomes extremely boring which drifts away the excitement and commitment towards the course.

    The teacher's lecture is not very clear and all the assignments are graded by peer classmates which may occur several controversial issues.

    it is really good course. but the lecturer should speak slower and more focus on the important issues.

    Thanks overall is a good course.

    Step by step explanations. Divided into small parts so that the students can digest the information in small pieces. I like it so far.

    A solid course, I feel well versed in the fundamentals of database design. The 'opening question' bits are rather superfluous though.

    The course provides extensive knowledge on Entity-Relationship diagrams. It would be better if they taught more about DBMS and SQL.

    Only think i didn't like is the peer grading system as many of the users grade low without any reason!

    Course moves very quickly, but material covered was good. Some complaints that the peer-graded assignments need an appeal process.
