About the Course

As data collection has increased exponentially, so has the need for people skilled at using and interacting with data; to be able to think critically,
and provide insights to make better decisions and optimize their businesses. This is a data scientist, “part mathematician, part computer
scientist, and part trend spotter” (SAS Institute, Inc.). According to Glassdoor, being a data scientist is the best job in America; with a median
base salary of $110,000 and thousands of job openings at a time. The skills necessary to be a good data scientist include being able to retrieve
and work with data, and to do that you need to be well versed in SQL, the standard language for communicating with databa...

A comprehensive course that covers major aspects of query building and retrieval in a management system. The topics were delivered well and the materials/assignments were relevant for skill-building.

I loved the practices. I learned alot But I think some of them had mistakes... The online visual studio code never worked for me! It might be good to make a video that explains how to work with it.

Week 3 was a bit difficult. The questions asked in the quiz were little different than that which were in the lecture video. Rest everything was fine

The quiz questions does not match the material provided in the course. There are more easier ways to coding rather explained throughout the course!

The topics are well explained but the videos are monotonus (slides and the teacher talking). I think the course could be more interactive.

doesn't do a good job at teaching how to use functions, they just give you background info about the function and expects you to apply it

Good for learning basics of SQL but not much application and integration of concepts. In general, however, it is good for beginners.

Course would be much better if you can work alongside the instructor. Using presentation slides in a coding class is not ideal imo.

Error de traspaso de información por el idioma y por formato de número, lo cual me perjudico para poder realizar la prueba final.

This course needs more examples or exercises with solutions to give a better understanding and use case scenarios for each topic.

The lecturer maybe is a good data scientist but does not have the skills of presenting or explaining material in an easy manner.

Good course overall, but the gap between what is tought and how complex some of the application can be is frustrating at times.

should have provided more explanation and help for exercises and assignment questions. The lecture is also not in depth enough.

the course itself was good however I did not like the last peer review assignment. It needed more structure and instructions.

Did not provide enough detail or examples to do complex queries. Never got through all the exam questions and barely passed.

Course schedule was good , but content is a little short. To make improvement, should present some example during the video

This is a good course for basic knowledge of SQL but the quizzes and assignments are very confusing and badly elaborated.

This is a good course on SQL for Data Science. As you will particularly start from scratch and go uptil tedious methods

examples are fewer and there's no output of examples makes it hard to understand. Definitely, it needs to be improved.

The overall format was quite good but it would be more helpful if more examples are included in the lecture videos.

Avrei gradito piu esercizi tra la spiegazione di una funzione e l'altra. Grazie per tutto quanto appreso. A presto

I felt modules 1-3 were good, but it went off the rails on module 4. Unclear assignments with poor instructions.

This course is helpful for beginners, but I felt that some explanation weren't clear and quizzes were challenging

Assignments could be more basic.

The level of difficulty should gradually increased.

Superb instructor though.

More explanation of concepts is required. Also it would have been better if SQL code was explained in depth.
