An amazing course, through which one gets the exposure of writing powerful queries in MSSQL using very powerful tools such as VS Code and GitHub CoPilot

I highly recommend this course because each module is demonstrated in great detail. The unique material on GitHub Copilot truly helps beginners learn SQL effectively.

Microsoft's approach to this is horrible, in my opinion. The brief introduction to SQL within Google's Cybersecurity certificate was much more straightforward. This course, at least so far, is chaotic. To start with, Pseudocode wasn't actually described (no intro into what it was or why it was necessary), but then there's a video on how to do it. Then you're expected to write your own, but again, no reasons why. In the next lab, not only does it bounce all over the place within the databases without telling you to change databases, but in its "utilize the below code structure to get you started" section, it structured code in the following way: FROM -- your code here. This indicates that dashes (--) should be used after a FROM clause. This is absolutely inaccurate, but including this in an example is incredibly misleading. I'm learning more on how to use SQL from using a search engine than I am from this course. Just all over the place, poorly laid out, and not intuitive teaching methods in this course. I'm really disappointed.

It's too slow, confusing and wordy. It would be more hands-on.
