I learned much more about what programming is used for and how it works. This last part of the course built on the 'building blocks' of the earlier modules and thought it went a bit fast in the final stages it left me feeling a real sense of achievement.

The materials are really well organised and engaging. When I look back I see that I've come a long way.

An amazing course that concludes the Python set nicely. Dr Chuck does an excellent job and his textbook adds considerably to the convenience. The test questions and programming exercises are thought out well. They help to consolidate the material nicely without having to spend tens of hours but at the same time requiring some thought. Highly recommended.

It is a great course! This course is considered another proof of that Python has powerful tools and the flexibility to deal with different kinds of data sources. Thank you Dr. Chuck for everything, you made every thing simple and easy to grasp, I will continue with more advanced Python topics with the same mentality that I have learn during this course

I loved all the 4 specializations, they were well taught, great for beginners to get a hang of coding, and especially Python. Loved the Instructor and his codes/explanations. Dr. Chuck has been one of the best teachers I've ever had in my life and this comes from the heart.

100% recommend it to anyone wishing to upskill or/and learn Python programming!

Dr. Charles makes these modules much more interesting than I have ever seen before. I am a Masters graduate from a reputed university, which is one among top 10 in the world, but I can strongly say that Dr. Charles is something different and I would love to study forever under him.

The way he connects technology to real world is something fantastic.

Nice course...!!

I really loved the course structure designed and the coding standards/approaches used.Teaching style of the Instructor is really Nice.

I just want to suggest that week 5 videos are not up to mark and should be updated as per new Google API and the Instructor must explain how we can add our own desired location from Google maps and See it on the Map of where.html File used in the Assignment because I spent too much time in Week 5 assignment but still was not able to understand the code.

I think Some more explanation can be included on Normalization as how we can create relational tables more precisely as it was used in code example and also on how to use Primary and Foreign key in Databases table with Working example and demonstration.

TA was EXTREMELY rude when asked a question about command line vs IDE. Refused to back down on the point, even though it was pointed out that the class allowed for it as per a reading in an earlier course in the specialization. This treatment was inappropriate and frankly disrespectful, and it soured the entire course experience.

I'd give this course 5 stars but explanations were quite vague, I'd like to learn more how to code than just from pre-written codes. But in general, Dr Chuck is a great teacher and I like his teaching skills and there are many things what can be improved. Also more exercises would be useful, especially from 3rd and 4th course.

The course was overall helpful and I've learnt a lot in the ways of SQL. However, the problems were fairly rudimentary and did not pose a challenge as most of it was written prior.

Assignments were too easy for this level.

The course was informative and some of the material regarding databases will be useful towards my current job. However, I felt that in classes 3 and 4, Python was really an after thought. I believe I could have completed this course without ever taking the first two classes because the assignments only required slight modifications to existing code. I was more analyzing patterns rather then truly understanding the code. I would rather see the course continue to expand upon basic programing knowledge so that I can write the code by myself instead of seeking examples to cut/paste all the time.

why need peer review to finish this course? I have submited but what if there is no one review for me, so I cannot finish my course?

Not letting me to resubmit the failed exam

This course is not challenging at all.

Very basic, rather simple

As a seasoned learner on Coursera, I enrolled in the "Using Databases with Python" course offered by Michigan University with high hopes of gaining valuable insights into database management and Python integration. However, my experience with this course was far from satisfactory, leaving me utterly disappointed and regretful of my investment in both time and money. First and foremost, the course content lacked depth and coherence. Instead of providing comprehensive explanations and practical examples, the lectures seemed rushed and poorly structured. The instructor failed to elucidate key concepts effectively, leaving students grappling with confusion rather than clarity. Furthermore, the assignments and quizzes were poorly designed and often ambiguous. It felt like the course materials and assessments were hastily put together without proper consideration for the learners' comprehension levels. Also, the grading methodology employed by the staff proved to be not only inconsistent but also incredibly frustrating for students. The criteria used for grading assignments seemed arbitrary and ambiguous. Despite adhering to the provided instructions and guidelines, many students found themselves receiving inexplicably low grades with minimal to no feedback provided.

Databases and Visualization (Peer-Graded Assessment) I had high hopes for this course, but unfortunately, my experience has been quite frustrating. Despite completing all the required work, I made a mistake in the peer-graded assessment and scored 70%. However, the course still does not mark as completed, and I did not receive the completion status or certificate. What’s even more disappointing is that there is no option to retake the assessment. Without any alternative, I am left feeling hopeless and unable to complete the course properly. This rigid grading system, especially for peer-graded assessments, should be reconsidered to allow students a fair chance to improve their scores. Overall, this has been a discouraging experience, and I am reluctantly winding up this course without a certificate. I hope the platform addresses these issues to make learning more flexible and student-friendly in the future.

I didn't copy anything but if they think that I have copied then they should reset my assignment again and give me one chance so that I could update my work.

Waiting for the assignment to be reset.

terrible explanations throughout the entire series and "staff" is equally as bad in answering questions. They give the most ambiguous answers...it's almost as if we bother them by asking.

Very disappointed in the class. Generally, Dr. Severance is an excellent teacher. In this instance he seemed to be phoning it in. The class was neither high level nor detailed.

I wrongly submitted the wrong files and they sent me a plagiarism note without even understanding or discussing the case with me.

excercices were not challenging, just few lines to add or adapt, should be a bit more difficult

Verbose, wandering. Instructor takes too long to do too little. No value add over a textbook.

The home tasks do not teach you anything

No help in terms of Technical Support
