Amazing course for beginners! The entire course is well structured and has good hands-on assignments. SQL is extremely essential for Database management and fun learning so please do try this one out!

Great course easy to follow, very good notes, videos and guidance on how to complete the assignments. This is a great introduction course to begin your knowledge and training to be a Data Scientist.

I feel like I have learned a lot about SQL from this course since I am not from Computer Science background and the way the course structure was like a step by step manner which made the learning more easy.

This was a very interesting course. It was harder than it needed to be due to a few errors in code, but that also made it more interesting and challenging to verify that you were retaining the information.

there are some unnesessary hardships for the students becase either the IBM tools are not working or not available, or becasue the alternative tools are not properly reivewed and thus contanin mistakes.

Course is god enough. However the last assessment is not. Misprints and not clear questions lead to disappointing marks in the end. Also other students marked assessments based on their understanding.

Most of it really good. I think joins should be covered in the base material and there should be less of an emphasis on sub-queries. The Peer Reviewed final was a little confusing in its questioning.

A very useful course with some very interesting datasets/Jupyter notebooks to work through/practice your skills. Offers a good balanced blend between theory and practical/practice. Very good course!

Much important instruction was missing which lead to a delay in submission of the peer assignment. Various errors popped up which had no solution in the discussion forum also. Kindly look into it.

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.

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!

Covers the basics, but might be a little difficult for a complete beginner. Manageable, but difficult. Needs more help using SQL within a Jupyter Notebook which should be in the earlier labs.

The course is good with all proper content and practices. However, the evaluation technique for screen shots is not very great. Sometimes its quite difficult to get appropriate screen shots.

Overall is a nice course. It was a bit confused because Handson Lab related to each other. It would be nicer to have a short remind from previous labs or better to keep labs independently.

Course was well organized, I found the lab exercise to be useful in learning the material. The quizzes and final project were fair and tested my knowledge of the concepts. Great course!

I liked the way this course is structured and I am really happy with the kind of exercise it contains. It would be really great if more details regarding the python script was provided

Good content. I have learnt a lot :) Please improve the uploading files for the tests. There were several loading errors coming from the files which should not happen at this stage...

This is a good course, and a good refresher with lots of hands on exercises. One area for improvement is explaining the link between the DB, SQL, SQLite, and Python in a clearer way.

I would have rated this course 5 out of 5 if the Skills Network Labs were more stable. The Skills Network labs seemed to give errors such as 'restoring' or 'starting' indefinitely.

It was good for basic knowledge of SQL. It would be better if we could understand more on Joins, Grant functions. But thanks for the great work. It was really good for me personally

There lack of guidance for those who get stuck. The instructors are not available to guide. The discussions might look helpful but they consume our time or say waste a lot of time .

(MINUSES) Was Not enough coding practice, some tech difficulties with DB2 and SQL, not responsive on forums, 24hrs response should be the practice
(PLUSES) otherwise, great course!

This course is excellent for starting with SQL but I got only one issue in week 4 module while connecting DB2 database in my on environment they don't explain all steps properly.

The course starts from the basics but progresses to intermediate level concepts in SQL, like joins and subqueries, which are required for day to day work in the Software industry.

Great course, great material, well structured, excellent didatics but some labs presented some problems and could be improved. Anyway I've learned from this course. Congrats IBM!

This "
Databases and SQL for Data Science" course was good. I learned too many new things and it really helped me by providing fundamental knowledge regarding databases and SQL.

This was an excellent course even though it was challenging. I was able to move from introductory SQL to Intermediate level. I really, really enjoyed the practice exercises.
