The content is very nice and useful, but the grading system is bullshit. We were asked to answer questions like "according to you, what is the most important take away blablabla", and the answers were graded by the other students. This is a course about database design, is there no way to make an objective evaluation of the students' progress rather that some subjective bullshit that depends entierly on one's ability to write a story ?

Excellent course! But it would be better if the assignments are not learning reflections. Some concepts check questions would be much better.

The material is OK. It gives a good overview of relational database design. The course is not rigorous and the assignments are easy, although they give the user a chance to practice, if even at a minimal level. The grammar of the instructor is bad. I've had to look up several concepts taught, because the instructor was not able to adequately describe the material. He would fail elementary school English grammar. I can forgive the instructor's poor pronunciation, although it did get in the way a few times when he pronounces words so incorrectly that it seems he is saying just the opposite of what he intends. I had to rewatch several concepts due to the poor grammar and pronunciation of the instructor. Mind you, I speak several languages and have lived and worked in foreign countries and know the importance of correct grammar and pronunciation to adequately express thoughts and concepts.

The instructor had few pedagic skills, and in general the videos are hard to understand. However the topics are really interesting.

This is a pretty comprehensive course and it will explain many concepts to a beginner. It's just the teacher could do with a better English pronunciation and perhaps try to read his own notes first. Subtitles are not the best in places either, but I can live with that.

In overall, absolutely worth it, probably also in audit mode.

Thank you a lot for this course! I really liked it. The teacher explains everything very clearly and gives a lot of practical examples all the time.I enjoyed so much the way that he tought us. In addition, I learned a lot of useful and interesting things that I could use in real projects. . I recommend this course to everyone.

A very well designed course, with a lot of examples and an original way of correction. Thanks a lot, I feel I am able to normalize relations and create correctly the ERDs and the Relational models.

Excellent course. Glad I have completed all crucial concepts related to the course. Special thanks to our course instructor, Di Wu.
