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!
The lessons were short and easy to follow, providing all the basics as well as a few more advanced topics, to get student quickly up-to-speed on databases and SQL and their application in D/S realm.

•Great course content and pace however the downfall was the IBM Developer Skills Network Labs and the IBM Db2 on cloud..Both these systems were extremely glitchy even during my Final Assessment and support in the Discussion forum was slow
By Kristen P
•In the intro to data science specialization, this course is a relatively steep step up from the previous one 'Data science methodology.' Perhaps obtaining some basic understanding of Python prior to taking this course would help
By Shan C
•Overall the course provides the concept of SQL and a great picture. Just with technical issue in the Peer-Graded Assignment, causing spending loads of time to find out the solution, which those time could have been saved.
By ZECHEN L
•This is a course with a lot of information, but the tutorial is not complete, resulting in a lot of time wasted in the debugging environment. The problem is difficult to solve, which makes me very frustrated

•If you have zero knowledge about database and SQL...this should be the right course for you..like me...however, i feel like the course is not very structured and lack materials like questions and exercises.
By 清基 英
•First student did not check my submission at all gave 0 for all of the questions. I really felt sad because I did correctly for the project. I wish Coursera will do somethings for those mean act.
By Parth R J
•the course is good but the way they teach you is not as good as other IBM courses it was bit confusing for me where to write the code etc the instructions were not as clear as they should be
By Nick J
•Useful course, but the instructors aren't engaging enough in my opinion. I only really felt interested right at the end, when I was trying to work things out in the final assessment.
By Aishik S
•Could not get the dataset from the assignment, always threw xml error, had to go to some other guys github profile who completed the course, thank fully he attached the dataset used
By Brent M
•Not super clear and struggles a bit with accessing and connecting to the DB2 I think the examples should match what is on the assignment and really break down the query language.
By Pali M
•The labs in this course did not work. This led me to using external platforms for my assignment which took a lot of time to configure and install relevant modules and libraries.
By Sisir K
•The speaker in the videos goes too fast. The hands-on labs are very useful and were my primary sources of learning. The videos didn’t help much with the learning process.
By Aniruddh G
•The environment is difficult to set up. For someone who knows SQL and has worked on other platforms the IBM Cloud and workspace are difficult to set up.
By Manuel M B
•The course is good, but i think that you will provide a platform to practice while watching the videos. In some examples the data base is not upload.
By Vyacheslav I
•A little to none explanations, very easy quizzes. Low quality slides. Good if you want to remember lines without understanding what they are doing.

•Learnt a lot about connecting database from python and how jupyter notebooks are useful.
Please mention IBM DB2 only, if it covers only IBM DB2.
Thanks
By Soh J
•The lesson and video itself is okay in general, but the bugs for the labs and assignment is what makes this course very annoying and time consuming.
By Roger S P M
•Getting the right syntax for Python and SQL together was really tricky/difficult. I wish there were a reference book/website for additional study.
By Kyle S
•The basics were easy. The hard part were the instructions in the course didn't tell you all the steps that you needed to do to launch the labs.
By Akash C
•Some of the documents which are referring to IBM cloud are outdated. Otherwise this course is really good some one like who is beginner in SQL.
By Robert C
•Instruction is overall pretty good, but there are some gaps. Final assignment and tech issues can lead to a rather frustrating experience.
By Matthew A
•This course was OK, but I'd still like to see more hands-on exercises and a final assignment that's more aligned to the prior coursework
By Yike
•Assignment marked by other classmates is not a correct method. classmates often do not read answer carefully and give a correct grade.
By Anisha Z
•Does a good job explaining SQL queries. But the final assignment has to be designed better. There are too many repetitive questions.
By Marcus V C D
•The last exercise of the last week is not clear how to do it and the server does not run it. There is no assistance from the forum.
