This course is excellent! It was very well structured in a way that made the material easy to understand. I now have more confidence in my SQL stills. Having a solid foundation of fundamentals is a great way to ease learning new things.

An amazing course, through which one gets the exposure of writing powerful queries in MSSQL using very powerful tools such as VS Code and GitHub CoPilot

I enjoyed the read through portion, but the non-demonstrational videos were time consuming and not necessary to the lessons. I know how they may help some individuals, but they were not useful in my situation

This was an excellent course to get started. I did have some issues with the VS Code database on occasion but was able to restart the lab and get it working.

The course was effective but I would have expected more foundation detail, e.g. order of execution and the order in which clauses should be arranged among other things. The discussion at the end of each lesson would have been more helpful if you could ask the AI coach questions about things that needed clarity - instead the response was 'let's stick to what we're talking about now'. Also when I was asked one question and said I'm stuck the AI coach indicated my answer should have involved indexes. Indexes were not discussed at all in the training. Since it's AI, they can make mistakes however one of the demos even used a clause that had not yet been covered. Attention to small details like this would have made this a 5-star rating from me.

The teacher sounds foreign, voice is rough to the ears. Dear Microsoft, please put native english speakers in your english course, this makes all the difference.

Microsoft's approach to this is horrible, in my opinion. The brief introduction to SQL within Google's Cybersecurity certificate was much more straightforward. This course, at least so far, is chaotic. To start with, Pseudocode wasn't actually described (no intro into what it was or why it was necessary), but then there's a video on how to do it. Then you're expected to write your own, but again, no reasons why. In the next lab, not only does it bounce all over the place within the databases without telling you to change databases, but in its "utilize the below code structure to get you started" section, it structured code in the following way: FROM -- your code here. This indicates that dashes (--) should be used after a FROM clause. This is absolutely inaccurate, but including this in an example is incredibly misleading. I'm learning more on how to use SQL from using a search engine than I am from this course. Just all over the place, poorly laid out, and not intuitive teaching methods in this course. I'm really disappointed.

It's too slow, confusing and wordy. It would be more hands-on.
