This class was very challenging and fun! I was so intimidated to start it, seriously took me 2 months of looking at it to finally get started and I am glad i did. I learned so much and it was fun!

First off, whoever developed these courses developed them to purposely leave out vital and helpful information, such as the shortcuts for moving from line-to-line in queries. The online support chat would not even tell me. This lead to a lot of errors. Second, the videos and the chapters do not do a good job of explaining the syntax of queries. The videos hold back and give the most basic, but when you get to the lab activities they make them more difficult and expect learners to be able to get them done. It gives a sense to me that learners have to figure it out without any guidance. Its worse than a college class. At least in a college class there is a physical person who you can go to for guidance. "I understand its not made to be easy, but this is stuff that requires extra guidance. Do better, Google!

Doesn't say when things and case-sensitive and when they are tells you that you got something wrong but not what you got wrong. The labs have issues with them so when you input something right it tells you that you did it wrong even though when you go into the review and check how it wants you to put in the commands is the same as what you entered. Haven't had a problem with the overall coarse until now.

The information has been helpful, but I need a lot more hands-on activities to grasp everything. I really don't feel like I'm getting support or explanations on activities when I get stuck. I'll look at the screen for so long trying to understand where I'm going wrong on an activity and I feel like I'm just wasting time. Would be helpful if there was more simple instructions.

This class really held me up as the quizes asked for extremely specific command lines and syntax when even the instructor in the video admits that it would be extremely difficult for a beginner to memorize said syntax and command lines

The instructor is pretty bad, looks like the person is AI generated, very hard to engage with the materials..

The spectrum of Linux and SQL is way to massive to learn in a 3 hour course. Test were difficult as well.
