One of the best MOOC courses out there! Challenging but you will learn a lot if you stick with it. Extensive and in-depth lectures/practice exercises on SQL. Appreciate that you learn using two systems, MySQL (through Jupyter) and Teradata. However the Teradata interface is a bit clunky and takes time getting used to.

BTW, Jana is a great instructor and Duke courses, in this track, especially the Tableau and MySQL courses are the best out there at the moment.

great course. great example databases. i would suggest renaming the course Managing Big Data with MySQL and TeraData. The Teradata component of the course was very heavy, and all graded pieces of the course used Teradata.

I would also make the assignments graded --- they can be peer reviewed. I think doing the assignments really help, not just completing the quizzes. those are my thoughts.

Many thanks to professor and the course staffs. What a great course that bring me to the SQL world!

Awesome Experience.

A lot of work, but totally worth it. I definitely feel like this course does a great job of teaching applied SQL, rather than just teaching you syntax. Highly recommended.

equipped with modern tools and practical experience

Great course.. well explained

This course is thoroughly satisfying. You can hear the brain churning while trying to figure the most intuitive way to write the queries. It gives you the confidence of working with big data sets, gives an insight into how other cohorts think and helps you rate your own faculties of logic. The course delivers on the promises it makes.. 100%

phenomenal ipython notebook exercises! really well thought out and coherent with the tableau course. goes much deeper than other online SQL courses, problem sets can be hard

Very well structured and easy to follow. Very effective.

It is a great course! There are plenty of online assignments to practice.

Thanks a lot!

Super helpful for beginner like me to learn SQL language.

Step by step instructions let you build a solid foundation.

Useful skill to keep. Jana is well prepared for each course. My company uses other softwares so there are some difference in syntax.

This is a great course, one of the better ones in the series.

Very good from-the-ground-up coverage of SQL with lots of practice on two different databases and real company datasets.

Excelente curso com grandes aprendizagens e ótimas formas de aplicabilidade. Essencial para quem precisa tratar grandes volumes de informações.

It is a well-organized course. I really learnt a lot from the course. And the assignment and exercise work as a good practice for me to put what I learnt in the course into use.

Excellent course for learning the query side of SQL!

It's a good choice to have practical exercise like quiz 5

Great course, with detailed explanation and case study. Recommend to set up a follow-up part 2 course

A difficult and time consuming course. Each week the assignments are significantly harder than the previous week. However, you will become fairly sufficient with SQL after completing the course.

Hint to succeed with this course: Utilize the community forum and the search function.

Great, great, great course. Interactive and engaging. Relevant and focused. This is the future of learning!
