    About the Course

    As data collection has increased exponentially, so has the need for people skilled at using and interacting with data; to be able to think critically,
    and provide insights to make better decisions and optimize their businesses. This is a data scientist, “part mathematician, part computer
    scientist, and part trend spotter” (SAS Institute, Inc.). According to Glassdoor, being a data scientist is the best job in America; with a median
    base salary of $110,000 and thousands of job openings at a time. The skills necessary to be a good data scientist include being able to retrieve
    and work with data, and to do that you need to be well versed in SQL, the standard language for communicating with databa...

    A comprehensive course that covers major aspects of query building and retrieval in a management system. The topics were delivered well and the materials/assignments were relevant for skill-building.

    I loved the practices. I learned alot But I think some of them had mistakes... The online visual studio code never worked for me! It might be good to make a video that explains how to work with it.

    The mistakes in the presentations and the massive ambiguity in the final assignment were a complete letdown for me. All in all, I did learn everything that was taught, but I wonder how much of that was made possible thanks to my previous experience in IT.

    Good course to learn the basics but not worth the price you pay. Until week 3, everything is fine, but week 4 is a disaster. The final assignment is very confusing and sometimes it is hard to know what you are being asked. Not recommended.

    The videos were not as informative as I would've liked them to be. When you input incorrect code there weren't many resources to find where your mistake was. It would be helpful to have a tutor or someone to chat with for help.

    There are many small errors and inconsistencies in this course. They may be minor for someone that is familiar with SQL, but if you are just learning these errors making learning some of the specific details very difficult.

    No reference answers for practice questions and final project. Have no where to learn what to do is right or ideal. Poor function support. Some basic functions like Instr() can not be used. I'm done with this course.

    The course has no transcript for review. And the system of SQL exercise is also wrong when you are using “WHERE” Clause and “=” signal. Because of the mistakes of system I even can not make any progress. Please check.

    The course went fine up until the final assignment. It was very irritating to do, because of the incomplete database, broken correlations, different tables stating different things, which should've been the same, etc.

    the video does not provide much infomation on how codes are structured. the readings are in pieces. and no tuitor for quized and homeworks. I would not imagine a 0 knowledge person would comprehend this course well

    bad experience on exercise:

    In the course, you will learn different functions of sqlite but they merely bring you along with examples but pop out with tons of different exercises without giving you a single hint

    The instructor spent too much time on unnecessary and self-explaining topics, and on the other hand failed to explain some important details. I ended up skipping much of the course and googled a lot by myself.

    Decent introduction. I recommend https://mode.com/sql-tutorial for a better introduction to SQL.

    Assignments are very badly designed. Also the questions in the final assignment are unnecessarily repetitive!

    The lectures were not easy to comprehend for a computer language. Though the course mentions it is a beginner-level course, the lecturer jumps to a certain part where there is a learning curve expected.

    A little too easy, not challenging at all, given this is a beginner level class, I'll give it two stars. You could finish the whole course on Saturday if you get up early plus Sunday if you do not.

    I'm not really that enthusiastic, too much talk and too little exercise

    The teacher gave the impression that he did not have enough time (which is false because he could make many more videos).

    Even reading the prompter throughout the course, the instructor has been extremely nervous and unsmooth in reading. This is the biggest downside of the course and eclipses its good sides.

    Didn't feel it actually helped me learn because there wasn't any step-by-step instruction. It just was videos w/script and then quizzes and you were expected to know the content.

    The instructor is so hard to follow that it made me not want to continue with the entire specialization. Although I really like the challenges and the idea of peer-reviewing.

    Slides have many mistakes. I have experience in other languages but even for me, the lecture is far too ambiguous in some parts and way more details in some other parts.

    Hi, First of all I don't like peer assignment concepts. second especially in joins videos if you have shown examples with output, little elaborate, will be more useful.

    Below expectation for such a high profile university. Luckily my basic background in SQL was enough to get me through the activities because the lectures were poor.

    I wish that the instructor used examples that mirrored the type of questions in the coding exams. We did not cover all the material in the coding exam.

    The structure and guidance provided on the final assignment was very poor, resulting in far more time required to complete than expected.

    El tercer modulo deberia estar mejor explicado ya que muchas de las formas de utilizar las sintaxis y los codigos dejan bastantes dudas

    too much theory, I needed something more 'pratical' that allowed me to start using and write code and not see a lot of slide with code
