N​eeds to have a lot of work done on the Peer graded assignment department of the course

Please review this course assets! especially IBM DB2 cloud service's availability !!!

The IBM service tutorial was hard to follow. Layout of the application has changed.

The cloud system has so many problems which will prevent us to submit our works.

so many stuff are out of dates and some instructions were very unclear.

a​lot of the instruction were not clear especially on week 4 and 5

Very poorly done. Not enough information on working in the cloud.

T​he assisgnment is poorly worded and working in DB2 is a pain

every material in course not match interface of the programs

Partly labs not working, tasks unclear, could be better

IBM DB2 database didn't give me good using experience.

Not suitable for non computers background students.

WHY FORCE ME USE THE IBM CLOUD? SO COMPLICATED

The IBM tools are so unfriendly to new users

Last few lessons are not clearly explained.

T​here are so much errors in notebooks!

The voice-over makes me wanna sleep.

The Lab env sometimes has trouble.

Expected more from an IBM course.

needed to update many topics

hard to use sql server

not well designed

very simple

Hi,

I completed entire program and received the Professional Certificate. On the Coursera link of my certificate "3 weeks of study, 2-3 hours/week average per course" is written. This information is not correct at all, it takes approximately 3 times of that time on average! I informed Coursera about it but no correction was made. It should be corrected with "it takes approximately 19 hours study per course" or "Approx. 10 months to complete Suggested 4 hours/week for the Professional Certificate".

Here is the approximate duration for each course can be found one by one clicking the webpages of the courses in the professional certificate webpage: (*)

Course 1: approximately 9 hours to complete

Course 2: approximately 16 hours to complete

Course 3: approximately 9 hours to complete

Course 4: approximately 22 hours to complete

Course 5: approximately 14 hours to complete

Course 6: approximately 16 hours to complete

Course 7: approximately 16 hours to complete

Course 8: approximately 20 hours to complete

Course 9: approximately 47 hours to complete

This makes in total approximately 169 hours to complete the Professional Certificate. As there are 9 courses, each course takes approximately 19 hours (=169/9) to complete.

The main issue with this course is the tools that we have to use in order to complete assignments. Learning and understanding SQL was the simple part. What I struggled with most was using IBM's DB2. This course needs to be updated and explained thoroughly because the way I struggled with just trying to get the systems to work was unnecessary. I never been so frustrated over an assignment before and this left me very discouraged. If there are any fellow students that are reading this you will need a lot of patience with this course ad if this reaches any professors ir people in charge of this course I hope that you look into this issue immediately and update the course to make the instructions clearer and more concise.
