This course was an Excellent, Interesting, and knowledgeful game for me. I have been excited to lean SQL and Databases and finally IBM and Coursera let my dream come true. Thanks both of them!

Very intriguing first exposure to SQL for CS students! Loved the integration with Python. It was a bit hard to actually learn SQL from this exclusively, so using outside resources will be helpful.

It's nice and it teaches you about SQL, but it lacks practice exercises and sometimes is oversimplified and can be too easy.

Most course material had errors and would not load, databases would not properly import data tp actually practice querying.

The content of the course is good, but the coding notebooks of the last weeks are full of bugs, which is quite irretating.

So many issues with IBM db2. Videos were good. Kindly add the same interface in labs as its originally present on IBM Db2

Great course for learning how to access Cloud Databases using SQL commands with Python! not so great if you are new to SQL

You should use DB2 to complet it but if you can't there is no support and the alternative in mysql does't work as well .

Lots of theory and general explanations. I was expecting more but I can agree on the fact that is an introduction course

Once on cuts through all the challenges using IBM cloud, the learning was great. Glad I know so much more about SQL now.

The final project might need to be reviewed. So much time was spent trying to load one of the .csv files without error!

V jednom modulu nebyly otázky na znalosti tématu ale jen na data, která byli někde v kurzu.. to by se testovat nemělo

This is a good course for beginners, despite some random errors in the tests that could make students a bit confused.

Final project could have been more comprehensive and the questions were too vaguely made which only confused students

Very bad online SQL system. Very complicated and buggy. You get lots of errors when you want to upload a CSV file.

Many dead links and typos in the course. Plus the Lab is down. Great content but this course should be reviewed.

an unnecessary emphasis on using ibm tools which many times don't get interconnected is a big turn-down.

It has the most basic about databases and how to connect python with an database instance on IBM Cloud.

The evaluation system is more theoretical than practical. Working with the IBM DB2 cloud is tedious.

It was really painful to connect db2 with python. However, my queries were answered very quickly.
