Reviewed Dec 4, 2024Teacher was very thorough and explanations made it easier to understand complex material
The practice was nice, but the examples given were kind of over-complicated. Could have been more simple and efficient, but instructor was trying to give examples of using subqueries in specific parts of the query. I think it would have been better if the instructor was a bit more creative using more efficient methods instead of trying to check a box to demonstrate a type of subquery. The end-of-course exam had a few useless questions and did not assess SQL subquery knowledge. It had questions about specific table contents (e.g., What table has customer information?). Also, the instructor kept saying things like, "WOW, I think you are learning A LOT." I mean, that might be a stretch. If there were more courses in Coursera for SQL beyond the absolute basics, I would probably take those instead. At the end of the day, there aren't many choices in Coursera, and it was still helpful to see examples of SQL subqueries.
