the final project peer-review section is completely broken and has been for some time. it appears that no effort is being made to fix this (despite it being flagged to tech support, and on the discussion forums. It means that great project submissions are being failed and really bad ones are being passed!

Course full of mistakes, waste of time and money. Shame on you !!!

no data files provided and the student is expected to work on the data which is not provided.

It is stated everywhere to use the file provided, but there aren't any.

I had to insert my own data

Unclear instructions, no data provided for exercises, broken grading gives you 0 points for correct solutions and 5 points when you didn't do anything

The capstone project lacks clarity and instruction and it definitely needs improvement.

Overall the course was okay, but the instructions were very disorganized. It was very confusing following the exercises, and the most challenging part of the project was inputting mock data, and trying to make the schema match the instructions. The instructions were always different, especially when the required procedures didn't check the earlier exercises.

I continue to be appalled by the poor quality of this Meta certificate program. Don't take this course, seriously. "Slapdash" doesn't even begin to describe how sloppily the material, grading criteria, and project requirements were put together. It's a complete waste of time.

The grading rubric didn't match the module instructions. ManageBooking is no where found in the modules, suddenly appears in the grading rubric. The rubric is miserable. You got 1 point if you did everything correct and 5 points if you made a partial mistake. GetMaxQuantity can't always provide 5, if the database is populated differently. The instructions require BookingID for UpdateBooking and CancelBooking, but TableNumber is used in the rubric. What an un-logical requirement. Typos? Tableau is no where found in the rubric. So we did Tableau for nothing. How can the many-many relationship exist between Menus and MenuItems? Many-many relationships are not practical and real-life databases. As usual, a lot of typos and reckless designs throughout this course. I have seen them in previous courses of this certificate, but this one is the worst one. Can't believe Meta staff released such a low-quality product. Who is going to trust this certificate.

The content was decent for learning but the assignment for the final project is incredibly poorly written and put together. Figuring out what to do was guess work at best with the wording in 3 different paragraphs completely contradicting the other. Then there's the peer review where the points system is completely none sensical with the highest marks awarded for when a user fails to do the exercise. Extremely disappointed.

very good course that summarizes all parts of the specialization, the only flaw is that inserting data for the tables has not been provided and tables not clearly described, otherwise ok, lot can be learned from doing the project

Gaining practical skills from this course is really commendable.

This course prepares you for the journey ahead!

Excellent. The course was so informative.

I've found it really useful.

Robust, useful and rigorous!

i like the project

Course some questions and their answers don't make the most sense and the instructions can be unclear at times. The criteria for awarding points in the peer graded assignment doesn't make sense no it's broken. Still I learnt a lot

The material was actually good, but the course had a lot of issues. Ambiguous wording, incorrect test answers, some multiple choice test answers had the same answer copy-pasted twice, and the entire set of mock-data we were meant to be given wasn't given to us until the very end (way past the point of no return. By then you sort of just had to figure out that they screwed up and generate your own.)-- and even then it wasn't complete, so couldn't be used for database purposes, only Tableau. Not only that, but the data they give the peer reviewers for grading is that same incomplete dataset. People in the discussions have had this written for at least 2 years and it is still the same. Tests / quizzes with 2 correct answers but only 1 selectable answer, or 0 correct answers but 2 of the same answer copy-pasted, or wording so ambiguous and non-descript that the correct answer is up in the air are all common occurrences. It defeats the purpose if every quiz you just go back and re-take it clicking the correct answers. It doesn't help you learn, it's just mildly annoying.
