Overall not a difficult course that will definitely be useful in later courses, but Professor Moussa is not the best at teaching. Lectures are very repetitive and really are not worth the time, but practice questions provided for quizzes were all you needed to do to do well on the quiz. Concepts were easy to self teach or watch some youtube videos on, much better than lectures.

If you took data management in high school this will be easy. If you didn't, you may find this course a bit fast paced.
