The final project needs to be completely revamped and have way more description with respect to the logging requirements.

issues on the module

Peer Review Assignment - Data Engineer - Webscraping

and there is not key or cheat sheet. big problems with this one. please help.

Need to explain more, it literally has no explanation at all

This might be easy for someone with more experience but for a newbie like me, it was hard and it took me quite of time to complete and understand, there is support when you get stuck but they reply with the answer not with an explanation, which is a boomer.

Should update contents as the names of api changes.

The video lecture is insufficient to prepare for final assignments. The lab exercise scattered here and there. API, web scrapping, ETL lab and then final assignment. I felt if the video lecture could elaborate more on the terms like variable, built in Panda dataframe, how to pass into a function (recap on what we learn earlier previous module) using ETL example. This would help us prepare better.

Nonetheless, the discussion forum was useful. I am glad the search box is there allow me to input the search on topic I needed most. There were some logistics issue like jupyter notebook wget unable to work. If should have corner for new comer to go for, prerequisites. Let them know if they use anaconda jupyter notebook this is what they need. If they use win/mac then another approach. I spend some time figuring that out.

I have some assignment was thank to help from fellow peers. I wish the lecturer could more active share more hints on final assignments or others. Not many of us are good in programming.

Okay, I am not sure how anonymous this is, but here it goes...

You better already know how to deal with Python dataframes. If your intent is to use this "course" as a way to learn about them, you will probably end up doing the same everyone else did: using Google, Pandas documentation and Stack Overflow to learn on your own. If you don't believe me, just go to the Discussion Forums for the course. It has over 60 pages talking about bugs and about how the lack of direction makes it really hard to follow.

You then start rating (peer reviewing) other classmates and you can see how people are struggling to get the questions right.

My rate for this is 1/5 stars. I already knew about dataframes and it should have just taken me about 2 hours to do the whole course, instead it took way longer to figure out what they were really asking and troubleshooting their bugs.

Al parecer no hay ninguna explicación para realizar los cursos de webescraping. Me parece muy mala estructura del curso.

Apparently there is no explanation for taking the webscraping courses. I think the structure of the course is very bad.

A quite challenging course. At beginning ones may think that the videos material is insufficient, but with the labs and the exercises you'll get a strong base knowledge. It's always good to practice on your own. I really enjoyed the course.

The rubric for grading is not correct for question 3. The instructions to the API questions is confusing. It asks for Country Name, but it seems that the quiz was looking for bank name.

I find that the grading by other students is inadequate.

Many of the assignment instructions are unclear

Good course to start learning basics of web scraping, APIs and ETL process, but unfortunately there are problems with some practical tasks:

• Unable to set up IBM Watson, it kept asking credit card info, I could not set it up despite having lite account plan.

• API exercise does not work, although I was able to get the API key, the server did not give access to data using the key (got the 403 error).

Fortunately the course is set up in the way that you can complete it even without IBM Watson. Needed using help from Google and some extra study, but I don't count it as bad thing because it teaches basic problem solving which you need when you face problems in your real work. Low score given because of all the technical issues with assignments.

This course was very difficult and confusing to navigate through as the screenshots for certain instructions were old and I'm not entirely sure I completed all the labs that are offered here because there is only one lab you can complete on the regular jupyter notebook and not in your ibm cloud watson thing. One of the python labs instructions are too old and need to be updated so that it works properly, read the newly updated documentation for the exchange rates api on APILayer to figure that out. Highly disappointed with this project course

Not everything explained in as much detail as it could be. Some instructions out of date and some issues with IBM cloud error messages.

Complete waste of time, got stuck with running codes as I am unable to use watson studio.

The questions were not clear. Labs poorly formulated

Error 400.

Many courses don't work :(

The hands on lab is a little bit challenging. You need to check previous courses or search the internet to find the best solutions to solve the puzzle. But that's very helpful to make your knowhow solid.

This project helped me to review the previous course Python for Data science

not easy

It's the most complex course I've even take at the moment in this road to Certificado profesional de IBM Data Engineering. The previous Python for Data Science AI & Development give the basic tools for doing it but the level of complexity, the unclearity to understand what we have to do and the excesive quantity of optional labs do it very difficult to understand.

Frustrating bugs when using the IBM Cloud. Unfair grading by peers. They do not provide an explanation of why they are grading bad when all exercises were completed as expected.

Instructions lack a bit of clearance. The videos are informative and done well. The overall concept is good and I recommend taking this course.

Very very hard class that I did not feel prepared for when going into the final project. took me a very long time to figure everything out. I wish there had been more practice projects to help cement fundamentals, and when the practice projects did ask you to do things on your own they gave no answers to know if you are right. If they just had more practice and simpler ways to practice what you learned I don't think it would have been as bad.
