Overall this course was informative. I wish it had videos or recordings to help ease through it and help retain information.

Nice course!!
by Frank E. on February 14, 2025
Keep up the good work.
by Philip T. on February 14, 2025
Good class in a lot of ways. Theory questions tried a bit too hard to be tricky if you ask me. The database interface they set up for learning queries is the better than ones I've dealt with before. Clean and effective. Hats off to whoever made that.
by Jeffrey S. on February 14, 2025
Very easy to work through, with clear and concise instructions and detailed explanations. Would recommend
by Billy D. on February 14, 2025
