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

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

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!

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.

very short course sql should be needed to be taught in detail but it was just basics of the basics

The labs did not all connect to the IBM cloud correctly, otherwise the course was fine.

The course teaching methodology is not user-friendly especially for someone new to sql.

This course is really only useful if you have zero backgrounds or experience with SQL.

Not as strong as the other offering in the specialization. Slide need a bit of work.

I have many problems when I do my assignment, I think the class don't teach very well

This is a logical extension of the certification, but the interfaces are clunky

Overall the course is satisfactory although some areas still need work.

Need more real-world data on hand practices. Practises makes perfect.

There are not enough exercises and videos are almost usefull

Easy to follow. But not explained why should it be in detail.

Good course, however, it uses a lot of IBM specific tools.

Awesome course. Please also provide job.

dude make the course a bit more human

exams are not challenging

Very confusing at times.

More SQL needed.

The beginning started simple enough to follow. The learning curve jumps from 0 to 100 in a short time. Not an ideal intro course. The labs are much more complex than what is taught. Instructions how to restart and operate a Run a new SQL was not shown and I had to spend lots of time trying to figure it out on my own. The powerpoints and information are easy to follow but the ease of use through IBM's platform is not friendly. Definitely easier places to learn as I have taken other courses online for intro SQL. I wouldn't recommend purchasing this. I'd either use it in a Free Trial or Audit it. For that value, you can spend your money elsewhere.

1. Lots of the slides have repetitive content, for Ex. different type of joins, Every slide have some repeating lines/audio. Could have taken some different use case or else could have combined it making it a single slide for each joins.

2. The "Table Loading Issue" its been a week now I am facing this issue, even have posted in the forum, the solution provided is also not working. Every time I try loading the table in db2 it fails, without giving any error/warning message. I am almost done except a few assignments and final peer graded assignment due to this I am not able to complete my course.
