Ratings and Reviews for Using Databases with Python

The best ever course!

Professor Chuck is awesome! This course is highly recommended!

This course does an excellent job of blending a basic introduction to relational databases and SQLite with some important tools in Python. Folks comfortable with SQL can probably skip most of the lecture in weeks 2 and 3, as the content is focused on learning SQL and using the SQLite browser as opposed to using Python with these tools. This was a great way to bring together the fundamentals from the first three courses in this specialization.

Verbose, wandering. Instructor takes too long to do too little. No value add over a textbook.

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.
