The course has a very nice pace and fits into one schedule seamlessly I like how it's structured reading material first, then presentation to reinforce the content read and then a quiz to put into practice what you have learned. With this being a new skill I am pursuing I must say I am pleased with how things going so far. - Keangelo M
I love this course, and I'm looking forward to the next two follow up courses to get my SQL certificate. I love the readings, the presentations, the discussions. This is the best I could have hoped for actually after being out of school for several years. - Dorothy R
I would highly recommend this course as an introduction or even a refresher. Though I use SQL daily, I have taken away new tips and tricks for more effective ways to write queries, making me more efficient and productive. Ms. Cecelia has put together very thoughtful and thought provoking body of lessons to gently move you through each unit. You can tell she thoroughly enjoys SQL and takes great care in the lessons as well as the thoughtful responses to questions. Very impressed and SO glad I took the chance. I'm really looking forward to the Intermediate course! - Kathy S
