VERY GOOD

Good

My review is not about the instructor. I am halfway done with the Google data analytics cert and wanted to start working on projects to begin creating a portfolio. This project did not aid in that, this felt like practice. I do think it was helpful understanding and becoming more familiar with SQL, but not to build a portfolio.

Hmmm... everything was going great until you see joins. The professor teaches ways to join tables that aren't industry standard.

SELECT *

FROM table1, table2

WHERE table1.code = table2.code

These practice isn't used and it's preferred to use JOIN

SELECT * FROM table1

INNER JOIN table2

ON table1.code = table2.code

Very little time in this introductory course is spent on explaining the functionality of queries that are used, the course is presented in more of a "copy what I do" method without much teaching. Also, the course introduces the JOIN concept using legacy syntax, which is not a good way to teach beginners.

Very basic SQL tools explained (select, insert, and delete) with easy to follow instructions. Could have used explanation of the table browser tool, more SQL commands, and additional explanation of joins for the price.

This is not a beginner course. I was interested to learn SQL and the databases but this project just assumes you already have the knowledge to write and understand SQL.

Cloud desktop keep on hanging. The theory is not enough. The project is too easy even for beginner.

Many technical glitches

interface is worst

The course content is good, but the service is horrible. Coursera launched these Guided Courses during Covid, but there are many glitches and no support. 1) I bought this course during their 2.99 Campaign that was supposed to end on 05/09/2020. A few days after I bought this course, I saw it lalong with all the 2.99 courses advertised in 2 sections on Coursera but at different prices (2.99 and then 7.99). I finished this course on 05/19. I was going to take another SQL course that should have been 2.99 because of the campaign, but to my surprise it was 9.99. I purchased it at 9.99 on 05/19 and reached at to staff, but until today 05/23 no one has gotten back to me with a refund for the difference. 2) Another issue is that the desktop for you to do your exercises become expired before you even get a chance to do all of your exercises, so you are left learning by watching the videos . This time when I reached out to Coursera, they told me to reach out the Course, but when you post questions no one answers hahaha and at the bottom of the course it tells you to reach out to Coursera for help.... 3) Oh the Guided Courses changed to 4.99 the day after I reached out to Coursera to let them their prices changed again, but still no refund for the difference I overpaid and not help from the course nor Coursera. Coursera used to have live support and was a fun place to learn from, but now with Covid and the increase in the number of students, they are only interested in making money. Before Covid, they had live support and you could fill out a survey, but now support is unavailable and when they reply they answer vaguely because they are making a lot of money and they dont need to care anymore.

My course was not over! I did not finish watching the videos!!

Suddenly, the video I was watching stopped and disappeared. They are not showing up now.

Please provide the videos again, I wanted to finish my course.

This program sucks and I can't get a refund. The MYSQL keeps failing causing me to have to start over and now i can't type anything on the MYSQL. Would not recommend this project to anyone who wants to learn SQL.

The Video is not good and it hangs all the time and it not a good thing to deal with because I know a few things about the database so I Complete the course but it didn't help. it is really disappointing .

there was a problem from the start with the project. I was not able to connect with Rhyme and it looks like myc ompleted project will never be able to work correctly because of this

There was a windows error during lab test, and it is cannot be fixed, even the cloudplatform cannot be reached any more

Third party tool wasn’t working , it didn’t even connected. I was still charged full price.

The cloud desktop did not work, so was not able to complete my task

Very unprofessional videos, a lot of mistakes and typos.

No even an introduction more like short intro

Way too basic for the money that you pay.

didn't learn anything new

Useless. Waste of time!

GOOD FOR BEGINNERS

Doesn't work
