Ratings and Reviews for Using Databases with Python

it was awsome

good job

Great Teacher, great content

Good course, with nice content, explained in a very easy and fun manner by the instructor. This course is very good for a beginner who wants to explore the SQL with python for extracting the data and getting a feel about data extraction from various web sources through APIs. Highly recommend this course. Thank you Coursera and Dr Charles Russell Severance.

Great introductory level python-sql interaction !

Was very helpfull Thanks

Great course. Learned a lot and will keep building on it.

The first 3 parts of this specialisation are a great way to get into Python. Everything is useful and explained pretty simply. My only two criticisms would be that it doesn't challenge you nearly as much as other courses such as CS50. The projects are relatively simple in comparison. The second is that there is little time watching the instructor write actual code which I feel would be pretty useful. Using Databases with Python is the installment I was most looking forward to. It didn't really deliver though. We rarely wrote our own code unless following along in the worked examples. The projects involved editing 2 or 3 lines in pre-made code which, if I'm going to be honest, felt like cheating ourselves. Then week 5 was almost non-existent. It felt incomplete and the final project felt like one of those week 1 projects that are there to ensure that Python and everything are running on your system correctly. This one didn't translate well to an online course.

I'd give this course 5 stars but explanations were quite vague, I'd like to learn more how to code than just from pre-written codes. But in general, Dr Chuck is a great teacher and I like his teaching skills and there are many things what can be improved. Also more exercises would be useful, especially from 3rd and 4th course.

Course was interesting and I learnt a lot! I'm not satisfied with peer review process...
