Very good course but some information is just too abstract. It need a little bit more detail and depth in order to understand concepts. The practicality of the exercises is just amazing. Great job!

Overall, this course was okay. It did not really teach the mechanics of how to write sql queries. However, it was neat to learn about the database design. This course could be improved if there are more exercise where we have to write queries from scratch or real life projects.
Having more real hands on labs/projects is where the learning really happens.

Although I have zero background in SQL, this course felt too easy. If I have to put my finger on it - the practice tasks are not challenging in the slightest. On the other hand, the lecturer is very nice to listen to!

Good resource but lots of fluff in the beginning like history of SQL which is irrelevant

The way it directs you to use PostgreSQL is very confusing; it doesn't explain how to install any software and isn't user-friendly for anyone new to this field. You should review the course introduction.

The course is theoretically very demanding, compared to how simple the practical exercises are, and the classes could have more graphic resources that facilitate the understanding of the topics.

The course does not say how to use pgadmin, how to create simple queries. The quest system is terrible. Lectures are generally related to seminars and you have to google a lot to solve tasks (

It is very confusing for a beginner who is not interested in the history. Above that why use python? This is the most confusing SQL course not for beginners in programming

Extremely disappointing. The virtual lab doesn't teach me anything new and I was I don't have any support from the forums. An utter waste of time

I think there should be more detail and proper practical live example instead of ppt query
