Provider: Study.com
Course: Database Management
Course content: Mostly text lessons, some had videos. Quiz for each lesson, five questions each. 70 question proctored final. One homework assignments, which was simple, but somewhat time consuming.
Final exam format: 70 multiple choice questions.
Final exam content vs course content/practice exams: Pretty well aligned. The final exam did have a disproportionate number of questions pertaining to the NoSQL chapter of the course, which I thought was odd.
Time taken on course: About ten hours.
Familiarity with subject before course: I took a similar class in college 20 years ago, and I've worked with MySQL off and on for 15 years.
Pitfalls, high points, things others should know: This was my second Study.com course, and it was much better than the first one. Actually learned some things in this class, and definitely improved my SQL skills. Not a difficult class at all, except perhaps the advanced SQL stuff such as joins and unions. The homework assignment was easy, but requires installation of the MySQL server and workbench software on your PC, plus the capturing of screen shots for each step in the process. That's not difficult, just time consuming.
