Ratings and Reviews for Using Databases with Python

Would love to have more challenging assignments

The final course in the amazing Python for Everybody Specialization by UMich and Dr. Charles Severance. Really glad I took part in these series, which improved my skills in Python programming. Real hands-on approach to show the basic and essential concepts about how to interface with databases using as a tool the embedded sqlite, how to correctly define normalized tables, and how to implement important design patterns.

The course is easy, but informative.

There was not as much coding as prior courses but students can learn the knowledge of database.

Thank you!

No teaching. Just a guy talking. Do the problem sets for practice. If you need help, pause the videos and try the code out yourself. Seriously though, a programming course where the teacher is not actively type out the code but just scribbling around it. He doesn't work through code but talks around the concepts.

Very nice course. The professor is awesome!

Good initial overview to the topic. Most code is actually provided to the student, preventing deeper learning via trial & error. However, it is a tradeoff of making the course accessible to a large number of students versus being too challenging and preventing newcomers from enjoying the subject. Dr. Severance is excellent -- entertaining and clearly very knowledgable. For any novice programmers looking to understand how Python interacts with databases, this is the best place to start.

Awesome course - looking forward to the Capstone

great
