Avis et commentaires pour l'étudiant pour Database Management Essentials par University of Colorado System

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.

Some assignments are challenging. Overall the course is quite good

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.

Thanks for a great course

The course is well paced and provides a good understanding of basics of database design.

Excellent

This is a very, very good course about databases fundamentals and design.

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.

The way of grading is unfair sometimes.

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

Some terminologies are confusing, like BCNF, more in-lecture examples are appriciated.

Good course for broad end-to-end discussion of database design and management. Lectures are decent, assignments and practice problems are pretty helpful. Class takes 3-4 hours/week on average, though it varies by week. Would have like to see more advanced discussion for some of the easier topics/shorter weeks.

Great Course

Very useful information, and the explanation is really easy to understand

Good Course with good learning, but at some places it becomes extremely boring which drifts away the excitement and commitment towards the course.

Great course

The DBMS concepts explained in this course, such as ERD design, schema conversion and normalization are very good and has given a good foundational understanding to me.

It was a very nice course, however, there was less focus on SQL and more focus on ERDs

Although not have any business intelligence content, I recommend it to people who need to strengthen their knowledge in databases. On the other hand, it should be an optional course for those who were interested in obtaining certification.
