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!

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.

No help to upload Oracle Application for use with lesson - not good. Also have to buy the text book which is fine. Should provide option to buy thru Amazon Kindle - easy to use.

Expected a lot more from the course. Also, the teaching style isn't very engaging either.

Course needs to be updated and be more concise

basic introductory information

unable to install Oracle

Bad lecture

It's ok to have a peer review assignment. But it's obviously not appropriate to have all the assignments as peer review assignments. It is just taking way too much time to wait for scores. For every problem, you have to upload a single file for it. I cannot understand the point of doing this except for wasting time.

Software requirements are too strict. VM Machine is running slow on my mac so I went MySQL for the first two courses but Oracle database is still required for course 3 and course 5. So how should the students like me do to complete the assignments?

After I completed the course 1-4, I unlocked course 5, but it's informing me that this course content does not start until June. So I have to wait for 2 months and pay another fee to complete the specialization. But I am not going to do that.

I was excited about this data warehouse specialization but now I am just disappointed. I would not recommend this course to others. Maybe try something else.

Presentation of material is obtuse. Failure to relate many of the concepts into simple common language. Technical jargon is dense and nearly indecipherable. The test questions are poorly formulated, unclear and often do not refer directly to terms and concepts as they are presented in the course material. The presenter is obviously exceptionally knowledgeable of Database Management principles and concepts, but his teaching ability falls far short of his technical knowledge. Minor issues: Multiple inaccuracies in the transcripts from the video dialogue. Transcript outlines are awful. The video editing is poor. Submission of course quiz retries often results in an incorrect representation of the retry's answer submissions in the feedback presentation, even though the retry was graded accurately.

I had high expectations of this course, which unfortunately were not met. The course seems to me to be outdated. Most of the slides are from 2012/2013 and haven't been touched by then. In addition, the material is explained very long-winded. For many assignments I had to rely on Youtube. Furthermore, the effort to upload the assignments is much too time-consuming. Actually, I intended to complete the whole curriculum, but after this first course, I will check for other offerings.

In wk3 my DB is totally messed up and I do not know where to find the CORRECT create statements to recreate the DB that the assignments expect! It shouldn't be too difficult to provide one page that gives the commands to execute to create the DB that is used in each week (for each week separately). Due to that I'm un-enrolling from this course.

The course has very poor support to install applications for the course. The teacher is going though the course at a very high level. Not going much in details. I would rather read Definitive Guide to Data Warehousing and it provides more information than this course.

assingnments are not grading .so i do not have reason to study something that can't finish

I learnt everything thank u coursera for this course I feel delighted I feel like Einstein

Coursera and this course sucks. You are at the mercy of idiots doing your peer review.

sorry i dont want this course unfortunately i taken i am not interested in this course

way too much talking head - showing head instead of the subject of discussion

too many peer-graded assignments, not worth doing.

Its very bad i got plagiarism without any reason

Not what I expected

its time waste

So bad course

horrible
