TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO DATABASES
Well detailed course, I thought this topic was going to be hard to learn. But the teacher explained it well. Anyway, I enjoy this course, because I learned a lot from it. Thank you Coursera and Meta.
I wish accessing the Lab to practice SQL queries was easier to reach. I had to go back to previous weeks to find the lab link...
Over all very informative and helpful fro beginners like me, I found lab environment very useful and a good way to get hands-on experience . Some more interactive material could be better.
This course is so much better than Introduction to Data Analytics. The guidance is clear and the instructor speaks at a very good pace.
