I had a lot of issues with this course. The instructor is fine and the quality of her videos is in line with all of the other courses. The course itself is structured very poorly. We went from very easy spreadsheet functions and basic SQL queries to much more advanced SQL stuff in Week 3. Week 3 was significantly harder than anything else. I passed the quiz, but I had no idea what was happening. Really complex queries were being typed out quickly on screen without any serious explanation of what was going on. I had to find other sources to really feel comfortable with JOINs and Subqueries. The Week 4 content was easier, and easily could have preceded the Week 3 stuff.

I find the quizzes are just annoying. There needs to be more questions on these quizzes. When you only have ~8 questions, you will fail if you get more than one question wrong. That might be fine, but there's always at least one question that I think is poorly designed. If you have multiple choice questions, there should be meaningful differences between the correct answer and the distractor options. If three of the options are things that would pass as correct in ordinary conversation, you are literally just splitting hairs over the answer that is technically correct. There is at least one of these really pedantic questions on every quiz. It's downright annoying because you can know the material well enough to explain how to do various things in Excel or SQL and then get these really nitpicky questions wrong. You'll always pass because you can just retake the quiz and do it again, but that wastes valuable time. If I'm going to fail a quiz and have to retake it, it should be because I genuinely don't know something and need a refresher, not because of a few poorly designed questions.

I also think the course fails to tell us very much about data analysis here. Five courses into the sequence and there hasn't been any sort of discussion of statistics apart from using functions to find averages. You don't need to get too heavy into math, but there should be some overviews of how to meaningfully infer things from your data.

The discussion boards are filled with frustrated people who have issues. Many of those posts have been up for months. The course could be so much better if it were just updated a bit. It needs more content. Give us more SQL examples.
