To be honest this module was probably the worst of the entire course thus far. I will outline some of the issues below.

- asks questions about concepts it hasn't taught you and expects you to figure them out by reading between the lines THEN proceeds to cover these topics in depth videos after it already forced you to learn them on your own. seems counter intuitive and a bit boring towards the end when youre covering things you already figured out last week.

- it is clearly written by multiple people who all have different coding styles which creates problems when they change from snake_case to camelCase to alllowercase in the same quiz and its unclear which to adhere to and simply not typing it exactly as the current one causes you to miss questions on assignments.

- there is clear typos, grammatical and spelling errors throughout the course which does not make it looks as professional as it claims to be.

I think that this course gives the nessesary amount of information in regards to databases. It really dives into database structure as well as basic SQL commands. When I say "basic" commands, I really mean the bare-bones commands, nothing too intense. For instance, they don't talk about "joining" tables or even doing "Union" commands. Another thing is that while they dive into the database structure, they really do not discuss different database tools (Azure Data Studio, dbeaver, etc...).

Overall, this is a solid course for introduction to databases and SQL. While it skips over some key points in SQL, it does provide some fantastic first steps on how to structure a query and create a database.

Information was good, instruction was good, some errors and typos apparent in the assessments.

Minor mistakes are spotted in reading materials and practice quizzzes. Plus why users don't have DOWNLOAD option for reading sections still? I feel like some of video instructions are too simple; the concepts presented in it are sometimes not worth repeating that much. Most of the additional resources could be found by uses using Google too. Last point, the lab platform is horribly simple for typing SQL queries, with a lack of UI, auto-suggest etc, etc. This part of the feature definitely needs some overhaul.

Materials like some readings are poorly prepared. Some are not carrying much information addition to the related videos. Labs are poorly designed, being too easy, and not covering all the contents taught in lectures. Quizzes are too easy on covering key knowledge, but sometime tricky at weird ways, like stating a query containing a clause WHERE id = seven, then asking you whether the query is doing what it's supposed to do. The answer is False, just because it's "seven" not "7". I mean, who would make this type of mistake? You designed a quiz question like this instead of questioning on real knowledge.

The most challenging course from the certification so far, yet not that difficult. I enjoyed the Labs since I learnt a few new concepts and refresh my SQL skills. ✅ Pros: - Summarizes pretty good all the concepts and skills you need to get started with Relational Databases and SQL. - Provides enough information and Labs to learn what you need to conceptualize, design, and maintain Relational Databases. - After this course, you should be able to implement a fully functional database for a project. ❌ Cons: - I would've loved to have more Labs, since I enjoyed a lot working on the ones that are included. - This course would be more valuable if you were taught how to deploy a Relational Database in the cloud, or in your own server (this might be covered in a later course so this might not really be a con).

This is the best IT course I have taken anywhere! The course developers are geniuses in Educational Technology. I hope they get to develop more courses like this. GlenMate.com

As per my experience, this is the most interesting course for me in this professional certification because it is very well organized and very knowledgeable.

I'm CS student. It was very basic thing and very time consuming. But some little things I found useful. I hope this course will contain more advanced topics.

Definitely the worst course in the back end certificate so far, although I really enjoyed the material. As others have mentioned, there were lots of small errors throughout that made quizzes confusing, and the course wasn't structured particularly well. On multiple occasions, I had to teach myself a concept that they introduced without explanation, only to have it explained in detail in a later lesson. I don't mind having to search out information myself, but I think it should be purposeful so that there isn't any wasted time later on in the course.

The course content is for way too beginners. The quizzes were confusing. I felt the quizzes were not evaluating your knowledge but your attention to spaces and details.

Bad assessment criteria, overly repetitive simple information assessment while complex topics are glossed over. Bad examples that did not make sense.

The "Introduction to Databases for Back-End Development" course is a fantastic starting point for anyone interested in back-end development. It provides a comprehensive overview of database concepts, making it easy for beginners to grasp. The course content is well-structured and the instructors are knowledgeable, making the learning experience enjoyable and fruitful. Highly recommended for aspiring back-end developers!

Overall, I found this course to be an excellent resource for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of databases and back-end development. The instructor's knowledge, teaching style, and the course materials all contribute to making this course an enjoyable and valuable learning experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge and skills in this field.

Like other courses in this certification, this course for Database Management is well above par for intermediate to semi-advanced database knowledge. The supplements provided in the course are very helpful. The course in-particular just guides about different parts of the technology stack in a beginner way but the supplements are really the core. This is a brilliant course.

This is the best course to start in database if you have no knowledge about databases. Although this course is in the Back-End Development series, you don't need any back-end knowledge to start this course. This course is purely about SQL databases. If you are looking for a course that will set a strong foundation in your back-end database, I 100% recommend this one.

This is a wonderful course, made with soul. This is a wonderful story in simple words, step by step, about complex topics. Huge thanks to the amazing creators and Meta Corporation. I am a refugee from Ukraine studying to find a job and this course has been a huge support for me and my family during a difficult time after russia's dastardly attack on Ukraine. 

Me gusto el curso, muy bien explicado todo. Bueno para mí que doy primeros pasos me ha servido de mucho. Junto con las horas de practica que puedes implementar los conocimientos teóricos que lo vas adquiriendo paso a paso. Si recién estas sumergiéndote en el mundo del desarrollo o solo quieres comprender como funcionan las bases de datos lo recomendó 100%.

This really a magniificent course and It'a a pleasure for me to do hardwork for this course. Here, I have got a clear idea and my skills are progressing in a very good manner. I think my hardwork really become worthy enough and it has given me enough satisfaction each and every step of this wonderful learning journey.

I really liked the topic of working with relational databases, as well as about sampling, updating, inserting into operators.

The course will be useful for all those who are going to work on projects with SQL databases, as well as for those who are just starting to learn them.
