I learned a lot more than I expected. The course was very well thought and I enjoyed it very much.

By Pedro Sánchez Vázquez on 7/20/2026

Tim's explanations are invaluable. Everything in the course is explained in enough depth and with clarity. The exercises are carefully chosen and desgined.

By Jess Giesler on 5/14/2026

The video is so far straight-forward and easy to understand, though it appears the voice is doing a lot of reading aloud what I'm reading on the video.

Great course, wish the instructor explained about subqueries more though you could just watch 'CS50's Introduction to Databases with SQL' if you're looking for more info.

the way of teaching and making us write the query is just amazing . i think its one of the best beginner course i have come across.

By Hajar Assoujaa on 1/6/2026

C'est trés bien expliqué, la hiérarchie à partir de théorie puis pratique est trés pratique et parfaite. Et meme l'explication a été trés claire, et aussi la disposition des ressources.

By Phuc N Nguyen on 12/30/2025

Wonderful instructions and materials! Students like me need to put in at least 2X time to go through the exercises; it's all worth it though.

It was very good experience, I have learnt a lot through the lectures and very Good Explanation by Tutor.

The course was understandable and sometimes we returned to previous knowledge which helped me understand better. The practical examples were useful.
