Reviews

Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.

by Isaac A. on March 26, 2023
One of the best courses I've taken on Sophia. I didn't have a lot of problems with any questions, but I was already familiar with SQL basics. I think taking this might be hard for someone with 0 experience but the content itself is very thorough and well made.
by Chase N. on March 26, 2023
very enjoyed this course
by Tyson S. on March 26, 2023
good
by mahidhar n. on March 26, 2023
Material order is wrong. Sometimes wasn’t able to understand the material. But nonetheless I have gained good intro knowledge to databases
by MELISSA B. on March 26, 2023
Found the concepts explained very well. I suggest keeping a notebook of all formulas with at least one example written out. If you refer to these during milestones this course is very straightforward.
by Krescinda C. on March 26, 2023
Good course. Able to complete quickly. Downloading entire unit pdf helped with milestones.
by Jeffrey R. on March 26, 2023
