This class does not go into enough detail. The lectures are not particularly helpful. The final assignment is mislabeled in terms of time it will take which leads to poor time management. Some of the questions are also considerably more difficult and require skills not taught or practiced well enough during the class. I wish I had done a different class.

Worst MOOC I fell across on web. Lot's of bugs in the assessment, lot's of incompleteness, teacher does not go deep in subjects, ends with a peer review letting you no guarantee it will ever be review, certainly not within the Free Week. I feel like I lost a lot's more time then I should have for the content I learned, overall very frustrating experience.

It's so hard, not enough examples to refer to when doing quiz. You should provide a variety of examples prior, similar to what you will ask in the quizzes. For someone like me, new to coding, it's very hard to remember how to respond to similar questions by the examples. People need to get familiar with the examples first, then move on to something new.

To be honest, i don't think this is for beginners.

Many things you need to find our for yourself and as per today, i don't know which tool to use for doing the queries? How to make the tool go and take the data for the spread sheets? This is basic.. so now i know the queries but i don't know where to use it.... Did i miss something?

I honestly am very disappointed with this course, no live coding in action just lectures and slides.

I shall stick to Udemy and Data camp as they show the instructors writing the code live as they teach it in some editor such as MYSQL or PostgreSQL.

Instructor is great at explaining but no live video showing them writing the code.

Interesting course, it made me remember some things I learnt in college. Final assignment is too bad, simple queries for getting the info we are being asked to look, repetitive code to be implemented, a lot of ambiguity in the description of some points. I would call this course "SQL for newbies", or "First approach to SQL".

The course compared to other data science or programming classes I took was not effective in demonstrating how to use in a practical way the foundation of sql. No files were provided for exercises, exercises and lecture were read, no documents or link to install sql lite were provided. This is not a professional class.

Many errors in video and the quizes: the course has never been corrected and will never be, admins doesn't answer on te forum section. The videolections are useless since you can't apply the examples that are being explained and you don't even rhave the dataset necessary to understand the examples

I do not like this course. I could not even get through the first week of this program. All the instructor is doing is talking through 'her ideas of using SQL' not actually indicating how to perform the actions of doing SQL. I get a much better, interactive experience through LinkedIn Learning.

This course was not hands-on enough. In my opinion, we should have been practicing each of the techniques as we learned them. Watching a bunch of videos completely misses the mark. It was also difficult to do the assignments without the practical experience.

Won't say a bad instructor but this course is surely not for a beginner. What she is doing, is just telling what happens if we use this and that. No practical examples. She is not even defining the technical terminologies. Bad experience

Not enough in-course practice and they do not teach you how to install/use SQLite in your computer. I guess this course allows you to speak thoroughly about SQL more than it teaches how to use in real-world scenarios. Needs to improve.

The course wastes a lot of time in going over "learning objectives" in each video. There is so much redundancy that the entire first two weeks can be condensed into 1 hour of actual material. I felt that there was a lot of time wasted

really going to unsusbcribe from coursera because of this course, Python for everybody was really good, but what the hell is this SQL, the teacher sucks, she just literailly reading her notes instead of teaching. Worst teacher ever!!!

Class work should be similar to the Final Assignment to cultivate thinking. Also, Solutions should be provided so that we can learn from mistakes. Coding for week4 has errors, this should be tested and fixed.

This course is very difficult the instructors do not give you any real example and, in each Coding Quizz you have to struggle in your own to approve.

They should check the content and add more real exercises.

This is a nice introduction to SQL

But, it had almost nothing about Data Science

The final exercise is graded by "classmates" usually a bad sign. This final exercise was very tedious and needs a lot of work

Many mistakes in the exercises. Content is so-so, at times it's too easy and at other times it skips over important subjects very quickly. Final assignment very unclear and the data set used is incomplete.

i don't recommend to take or purchase this course as it have some wrong information which force you to answer the quiz wrong to pass it. also the instructor sound to be not professional in teaching SQL.

Horrible. The data is from 2014.... no, no and the tests don't function properly... can't read answer because the screen won't scroll.... Coursera you are better than this outdated piece of trash.

U C Davis basics was unbelievably bad. It was the most terrible possible approach and the lecturer was all fluff. I have my doubts whether she has any any basic knowledge about the subject herself.

It does not worth it. The tutor does not have any teaching skills and she is reading the text from the script all the time. In addition, the course is not practical! I would not recommend it

El profesor explicar claro que se debe entregar en cada hito pero para el ejemplo de analisis utiliza herramientas que no se tiene conocimiento y no se puede aplicar para los entregables.

Awful. I could not finish course since there was a problem identified 4 YEARS ago, but not fixed or at minimum with updated docs. Total waste of time and I am asking for a refund.

I have the same questions people had 4 years ago regarding the peer-graded assignment. The most upvoted post was never answered. It looks like the staff abandoned the course.
