Very good to every beginner out there trying to get into database management , tasks are really educational , only the normalization section needs more clarification. but as a total it is awesome
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.

•This course has great content, but the peer review process is lacking structure. I found that most of my peer reviews were marked less than 100 with no guidance of what errors I had made, just the comment 'good'. There were also many mistakes in the answer keys, but no clear way to notify the instructor of the issues there were found.

•Start of this course was very good. But after week 5, assignments became very repetitive and most of the assignments were based on developing an ERD in a tool called ER Assistant. I feel like this part could be covered in 2 weeks time and more stress could have been given to the SQL part of the course.

•Though content is good slides and delivery style could be better. More comparison with latest technologies can be provided. Need for more interactive quizzes so as to make it more relevant to fast-changing database world.

•Good course with a lot of hands-on assignments. Sometimes the lectures could be brought in a more intuitive way and were a bit 'over-theorized', which made relatively simple concepts seem more complex than they were.

•Great content, horrible technical support from Coursera and the team that runs this program (since it is clearly obvious that Michael Mannino just recorded the videos and is not part of the class anymore).

•The course was clear, I had difficulties to find course materials, especially examples were used in the video class, I wish they had been put in more obvious places.
von Manasa T
•This is a good course for beginners out there. The examples make you understand the concept partially only. It tends to steer towards the boring side a little.
von Arushi D
•The instructors were really helpful throughout the course. Although this was a basic course, but it was informative and very much helpful.
von Donatien L
•Interesting, I would have liked to deepen SQL knowledge and practice. The conceptual parti seems a little bit too important.
von Saatvik N
•Good for the most part, but some parts were covered too fast, and normalization was covered without adequate explanation
von Rana Q U Z
•This course is really helpful About Database Systems.
von Cesar O M
•I wish to have more contact with the academic crew.
von Amber B
•Need more lessons on nested queries and subqueries
von Ayush J
•You can give a better explanation of ERD concepts
von Madhusoodhan S
•A free book to read would have been nice.
von HYEOK K
•not enough explanation about tools
von Aditi
•Baaic understanding about Database
von Marcel N
•Peer Review is sub-optimal
von Meena V
•Very time consuming.
von Mordi O
•looking good, so far
von DWARAKANATH S
•Good Solid

•I could not finish because videos were stuttered - even with bigger bandwidth - and as a consequence I could not finish the course and the exercises in my limited free time (therefore, only 2 stars). Is the problem solved now - cause I d like to resume the course again. If that's more successful now I would start the next parts of the specialization.
Thank you for an answer!

•can't wait to rate this course! I hope I could give 1 start but to show respect I rated it 2. It's just because I personally don't like the instructor and the way he talks, which could ruin the course! I truly hope we could have another instructor in the following courses or the whole specialization would be ruined and so would my interest in database.

•The course and concept were good but the way it was taught in the videos and Lecture slides was absolute garbage. The course was built in utter disdain by the lecturers, it seems. Full picture was always absent in lectures.

•Poor english, hard to follow assignments (instructions spread out over 3-4 microsoft word documents with no links between them). Teaches SQL with MixedCase namings, all-named constraints and other non-standard syntax.
