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.

The course was interactive with hands on lab exercises further helping students to grasp concept. Theories were well explained in details with illustration that helped to foster understanding.

The course started out pretty well in the first week, however it went down hill from there. The organization of lectures are not very good. Why would there be a lab on database and table creation before the lecture on CREATE function? Also there is a quiz on 3NF before the lecture on 3NF (though there was reading). There was 1 single exercise for the database design and normalization part, and the database wasn't implemented on the platform so there was actually zero practice. And the final assignment grading was all over the place.

Started out great the first week. Into the 2nd week examples went from the command line to a SQL client that was not introduced or explained. At this point a different instructor would work an example that was out of context and clearly was from another class. Also, I didn't really need to see the instructor the whole time. It would have been much better to leave the slides up instead of constantly going back to a guy who is just standing there talking.

Good but has a lot of issues. Also the final assessment is not based on output but matching things the way they want you todo them and if you do it another way you get scored bad. Apart from that good course.

The final quiz was not clear. It said to enter the the missing word, but then it says to run the whole querry.

The questions on the final exam where you need to right SQL code not related to the database you create are completely broken

Getting errors about needing to upgrade to new versions of courses. There is no note/option to upgrade per the support article. Coursera should do a better job with giving more detailed support info. Other then this issue, which has happened to me for a couple specialization, no complaints with Coursera. However this a major inconvenience. When the error message pops up about needing to upgade, why not take the user directly to the place where they need to do the upgrade?
