Excellent course content, very well presented, great slide decks.\n\n(When I hear "DB Management" I think of tablespaces and indexes. The course should be named "Data Modelling Essentials" instead. )

Excellent introduction to DB Management, I learned everything that I wanted to learn from it. I highly recommend it and actually I am already enrolled to the next course of the specialization.

The course progress is a bit fast. It could be a litle hard for students without a nice enough English level.

Great course, learned a fair deal in regards to DB from a beginners POV. The only thing that left a sour taste in my mouth is the poor attitude of some students towards each other. The course uses peer-reviews and sadly some students take joy in poorly grading others whilst providing feedback along the lines of 'Great work!'.
If there was the possibility to actually report these users instead of having to resubmit your work and pray the next set of peers have some decency, I'd happily change my review to a 5 star.

The peer review factor is the downside to the course

COURSE IS REALLY INTRESTING

It is good - generally- and long at a 7 weeks giving a good grounding in the subject matter.I really struggled to understand some of the lectures in the last week as the oral description often seemed not to match the material being displayed on the screen (seemingly what was being described was a more extensive version of the table being discussed I eventually concluded).

Good course and foundation for theory

it is really good course. but the lecturer should speak slower and more focus on the important issues.
Thanks overall is a good course.

Fair enough. Good material and content for someone new or that needs to remember basic concepts about databases. Not needed if the main focus is DWH and experience with DB exists

I'm not sure peer grading is the most effective way to evaluate since peers can be just as lost as I am.

The course was very well presented and was easy to follow. my only problem is that I struggled a little and as much as I was trying to follow and read the recommended reading material, I found that there was not enough time due to the volume of assignments per week. Maybe if the assignments were reduced or we have them every 2 weeks?!

The teacher's lecture is not very clear and all the assignments are graded by peer classmates which may occur several controversial issues.

Great Course and Instructors!
Only think i didn't like is the peer grading system as many of the users grade low without any reason!

A solid course, I feel well versed in the fundamentals of database design. The 'opening question' bits are rather superfluous though.

Step by step explanations. Divided into small parts so that the students can digest the information in small pieces. I like it so far.
