This is the feedback for DS6504 course from students throughout the years.
- Interesting paper, learning real world problem and solution, quite Interesting to create dashboard and visualized data from database.
- One should must take this course because this will help in their future. Practical knowledge about sql, software’s used for analysis and reports are quite useful in workplace
- Everyone should take BI paper because you will gain a lot of knowledge
- It is very useful
- It's a good course to learn the in demand skills.
- It is difficult so make sure to be prepared and learn a bit before taking it
- I would like to say Trang is very good teacher so everyone preferred tutor as Trang.
- The course is really helpful and chances of getting job in this is always open.
- If you like to do things practically, then I think you should go for this course.
- This course is very helpful and gain a very good knowledge like how to create dashboards, sqp quries etc
- It's a very useful class. The big data is the core of information age.
- It’s great and you learn a lot of new skills such as knowing how to use sql, creating reports of visual studio and just talking intelligence business to another level
- You seriously need a good understanding of SQL database and learn the basics of Visual Studio.
- It is a good course if you are interested in learning about SQL and big data. The assignments were good and the difficultly level from assignment 1 to 2 was a good progression
- You will gain detailed and broad insight starting from data, database to Big data. You will see yourself begin with SELECT * and finish this course deploying a dashboard that changes according to the input parameter.
- Very soon you will know that Trang has come into the educational field to really pass her knowledge and experience to students. She is passionate and supportive so unpack the questions and ask if you have.
- Very interesting course and lots of important learning
- That it is worth doing
- I think it would be a good course to take. Currently at my work I've been asked if I'd like to work with T-SQL a bit, so this course has definitely prepared me to do that. Security is a big thing in the IT industry and as it continues to grow, the demands of SQL will become more frequent.
- This course is an excellent way to get knowledge of business Intelligence and Data. It will help you learn new concepts and write SQL and T-SQL whilst applying that knowledge into designing dashboards which is very useful in a business setting.
- Must take this course!
- Make sure you study for the tests. Focus on SQL - mainly T-SQL and the Stored Procedures as they played a big part during both the assignments and tests. Try attend all the lectures and labs (if applicable) as this will help greatly with overall understanding of the material and will also aid you during the tests (as questions from certain lectures may pop up in them). It's quite a grind, but it's actually quite useful.
- This is a excellent to pick up even if you are not deciding on doing database major. it can be a great help because SQL can be used in many different areas
- Fun course. Combines a wide range of skills excellent to have: from SQL to dashboards, data warehouses, big data, etc. Also, I liked the combination of technique and aesthetic required to create a dashboard that is both functional and nice to look at.
- This is a meaningful course that can teach you some practical knowledge
- It’s worth it to get a overall view of data science
- Ensure you backup your assignment data, make sure to read all the course material including labs.
- Worth learning!
- If you already know SQL it will be easy, otherwise make sure you study a lot more.
- Once you complete this course, you can make a good-looking dashboard by yourself
- Trang will provide all the teachings she ought to give, but as a student/learner also try to learn more about the subject by yourself, it's very interesting!
- It's very fun to study business intelligence and big data. It focus on teaching student practical skills that they can use for their future jobs if they are interested with data warehouse.
- Its a comfortable elective, would recommend

- Overall the course is very good and l learned a lot of things
- I like this course a lot. It is a practical course, that teaches you how things work in real IT world. While making dashboard especially for assignment 2, I learned a lot and I hope this course will help me in getting a job in this field.
- It's very good to learn step by step.
- The course is ne and really helpful for student in future.
Due to lockdown, we haven’t get a chance to attend the lab session under guidance of Trang, but has managed all the possible things to help us.
It our pleasures to have a tutor like you who is always ready to help us at anytime.
- The course content was good and the lecturer is helpful and approachable.
- The overall satisfaction with this course was good.
- This course provide hands on learning knowledge which is quite good for our future. Prior to this, I worked in command based oracle, but this experience was very different. This course not only help in improving knowledge about SQL , it also help to understand different software used for reports and analysis which are very useful in real life working environment. Most students faced problem regarding software’s due to remote study in a Covid -19
- Over all good for this paper, I learned lots on this paper
- Was a lot of content in the course which was good, and lecture notes, labs and teaching were all good and cannot complain with it.
- Overall was a good course
- Because of Trang it made learning a lot more easier she is very helpful and nice. One of the weakness for me was to learn and get use to this online learning content it was really hard to for because I am face to face type of person who learns o the teachers. One the strength was actually staying engaged throughout this semester and personally I believe I have done pretty well especially because it was new to me.
- The strengths of this module is that I learned about Big Data, Warehouse and Visualizations. Weakness of this module is lack of tools and labs in covid-19 period. It was really tough for me as a student who has no experience of programming, and if this course would have been done in Campus, things would have been different as , with tutors help, would have learned more. Online support and instant replies from tutor were very helpful (specially Problem Pool).
- We learn many things in this subject and tool can be very difficult to use
- Good for BI
- Course was very well put together, Trang was a good teacher willing to help students when they needed it and present information with ease. Was times I was unsure on how an assessment would be carried out and she clarified it all.
- I would've liked to spend more time on getting used to T-SQL as SQL queries were easy to grasp but T-SQL was a step up in difficulty
- No improvement suggested.
- Excellent tutor: very patient, extremely good at explaining and making students to participate.
- One of the largest strengths of the module is that the SQL code is explained in great detail and there are snippets of the SQL code provided to help students visualize how they need to write the code.
- You can gain a lot of knowledge if you choose to do this paper, including using complex SQL as well as other method including making dashboards for "Customers" which will help me in the future.
- Some lecture parts, Trang says "you guys try yourself". This is a meaningful time.
- Overall of this module is that it provide the best for us to learn what is bi and big data and It does in the real world. Like the way you teach lectures and putting quizzes to makes us learn.
- It is a great course and very important for our future as data scientists. I would suggest the use of Power BI as we had a briefly introduction to this tool in Fundamentals of Data Science and we never got to experience it again.
- I personally think the assignments should be group assignments
- Great explanation !
- Strengths: learning supports learners who are just starting to learn SQL coding - Weaknesses: Timeline Suggested possible improvements: More time for coding in test :D
- A small amount of guidance for the start of assignment 2, with importing data from flat files.
- Very useful paper, assignments are full of challenges. Tutor is very helpful and interact with students well. I am glad to take this paper and creating dashboards are fun.
- I think the paper was good overall, there needs to be more course supplied resources.
- Trang was great at communicating with me when I reached out to her on email too, seemed to be tolerant of students specific situations.
- The material that was provided was of a much higher quality standard than other courses.
- The strength of the module is the lecture is very straightforward and easy to understand and follow. Especially for student who are new with SQL and dashboards.
- I think the module doesn't have any weaknesses.
