Course content is interesting. However, the projects and practice problems are poorly guided with inadequate instructions.

The didactics are not really good on this course. The exercises are pretty hard and the assignments lack some guidance.

Course final quiz is outdated needs revision. Whole process was complicated and poorly explained.

Partly bad explanations for what is to do. Sometimes not stringent content, so hard to follow

Instructions are not clear and not easy to follow. Would have loved more exercises

Se necesita mejorar la explicación de ejemplos de la semana 4 y los ejercicios.

Need a lot of work when it comes to tasks, such as wording, information given

Poorly designed course. Not enough explanation to solve the exercises.

This course is poorly prepared and delivered. Hence, I am quitting.

The worst Coursera instructor. Disorganized.

This course is almost a waste of your time.

I usually don't write reviews, especially negative ones, but I feel like I should share my experience with this course. I regret not reading reviews before enrolling because it was a terrible experience. Firstly, the difficulty level of this course is significantly higher than the previous one in this specialization, making it impossible to take them sequentially as intended. Secondly, the course is poorly structured, making it difficult to follow the topics. While the lecturer seems knowledgeable, she struggles to effectively explain the material. The practice exercises were the worst part. The absence of an Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) made it hard to understand the dataset's table structure. Additionally, the tasks were unclear and sometimes incomplete, such as "Write a query to format the view_item event into a table with the appropriate columns" or "Use the result from the previous exercise, but make sure." Furthermore, it seemed like the dataset had been updated, leading to discrepancies between the practice exercises and the solution videos. The solution videos were also problematic. The lecturer appeared unfamiliar with the tasks, providing poor explanations and wasting time trying to find mistakes in her code. I'm disappointed and won't recommend this course unless it undergoes significant improvements.

This course is the definition of nonsense . The bones are great interesting topic and knowledgeable instructor. But that is where the positives end. In week one you from 0 to 100 mph. Then in subsequent weeks you get philosophical ideas with expectations of you knowing how to apply them with no how. for instance you learn doing idea A is important, get asked to apply A. Then solution video of look at me applying A in a very specific method that was never shown. Then in week 4 you get final assignment which again you are unprepared for and given vague instructions. People fail you for little reason despite knowing the challenge and futility of this course. Only those who truly see this course for what it was will pass you. best of luck and please pass people on the final assignment.

This course started out okay with the instructor going through everything but as soon as the first assignment started the course showed the cracks. Most of the assignments are not clear on where to start for the practice sheet as it is not linked in the assignment PDF you have to try to search to find it in the discussion forum written by the instructor. That practice sheet for said assignment IF you find it often will give you an error and not allow you to access it on mode. Example "page not found or moved" error. None of the staff responds to you and almost all of the learners are asking for the same help and questions related to finding the practices we are supposed to do. Unfortunately this course is required for the specialization so you must complete it.

I had to abandon this course and the entire SQL specialization with it. This style of instruction is terrible. Too much time is devoted to learning spoken details of the instructional dataset, and one's ability to pass assignments depend on your ability to memorize those details from the video. They could have just provided an ER diagram and shared key details in writing with the assignment itself. Every other course I've seen focuses the video instruction on generalizable lessons and concepts, but I did not feel like I was learning any. With little meaningful content, I tried to limp through the assignments hoping the next course in the specialization would be better, but I won't ever get there because now I'm stumped by the final assignment. It's over.
