About the Course

This mini-course is intended to for you to demonstrate foundational Python skills for working with data. This course primarily involves completing a project in which you will assume the role of a Data Scientist or a Data Analyst and be provided with a real-world data set and a real-world inspired scenario to identify patterns and trends. You will perform specific data science and data analytics tasks such as extracting data, web scraping, visualizing data and creating a dashboard. This project will showcase your proficiency with Python and using libraries such as Pandas and Beautiful Soup within a Jupyter Notebook. Upon completion you will have an impressive project to add to your job portfolio. PRE-REQUISITE: **Python for Data Science, AI and Development** course from IBM is a pre-requisite for this project course. Please ensure that before taking this course you have either completed the Python for Data Science, AI and Development course from IBM or have equivalent proficiency in working with Python and data. NOTE: This course is not intended to teach you Python and does not have too much instructional content. It is intended for you to apply prior Python knowledge....

Had a few issues with my IBM Cloud account and adding the Jupyter notebook but the help\response was great so was resolved quickly.

Great material that can defintely be applied to work experiences.

Lab works became more challenging and difficult throughout end of the course. Some tasks I've spent more than week just to find out the mistake. It is quite challenging yet fulfilling at the same time

My main concern is the copy-pasty nature of the course, which I'm pretty sure doesn't reflect real life demands. Having done CS courses in university in the past, they felt much more challenging in terms of the problem solving required in order to complete tasks.

It was a fun course, but I think that it could have more depth in other topics, it's primarily based in Web Scraping using Beautiful Soup.

Also it says that it is an intermediate course but I think that needs more content to be considered of that difficulty.

The time recommended to complete each section in my opinion is way off I'd say in needs to be increased by 10 to 15 times to sufficiently understand the material. Its no way 30 minutes is enough when now being introduced to the majority of these topics

The content was very short and learning required lot of side research. This section is poorly designed, this is not how other coursera modules are designed. This seemed to be a rush job. Suggest adding more content and reduce the steep learning curve.

The course itself was okay, but the instructions don't seem to get the final project in Watson set up correctly. Based on posts in the forums, this has been an issue for quite some time... This caused me quite a bit of frustration.

Content is good but implementation is poor, course chat support is ineffective, and resources were broken. Note that IBM did offer a month of free class to make up for the tools being down, but it was last straw at that point.

Some information like the links to the necessary data was hard to figure out, generally I learned a lot. I would recommend it anyone who wants to learn the harder way! It is intermediate, so beginners don't get headache

Definitely helpful but feels shoehorned into the Professional Data Science Certificate and more instructional material and videos to understand reasoning behind the elements of Webscraping would be beneficial.

The course content is good and great for beginner level. But faced a lot of issue in accessing the IBM skill network because of which I missed deadlines in the assignment and delayed completing the course.

I think that the final assignment of the course is too complicated, because the knowledge and programming skills after fifth course were not enough to solve the problems that were in the final assignment.

I already knew most topics. yfinance library was new to me and I fell it was not explained well. What it is, from where we get the data, is data updated? It was still fun doing analysis on real data.

Lots of errors between the code taught and what works in Python today. Had to use a lot of resources outside the course to actually learn - which was useful - but took much longer than it needed.

This course is not for absolute beginners. Some concepts are not briefly explained but they are needed to complete the assignment. If these things get better then this course can offer more.

Instructions regarding the final project or projects (not even sure at this point) was EXTREMELY UNCLEAR and UNBELIEVABLY CONFUSING... unlike the two other IBM courses I've taken so far.

the labs are not working to submit work to be graded. Also yfinance is deprecated and no longer a viable instrument for getting stock information. VS code won't even load it anymore.

This project only includes the programming questions relevant to web scraping and API. You should also include the other programming questions relevant to Python course material

Overal project assignment is good. But, using For loop for webscrapping has to be taught more in previous Course 04. Even using Dataframe is to be taught more for webscrapping.

The project was okay, but didn't test the broadest range of skills due to unnecessary repetition. Overall production and spelling were short of a quality educational product.

Needs an answer key or a better hint guide, this took way longer than it should have. There aren't enough coding drills in this course to be coding mostly from memory.

as with all of these courses on coursera there is a lot of frustration. Also it takes a really long time to get feedback and thats if you even get it.

This course was more copy and pasting code and didn't really allow us apply any learned skills. Calling the course a "project" is a stretch.

There were typos and errors in many of the lessons. On the 'build a dashboard' it is set to import an older version that is incompatible.

I wouldn't call this course a "Python project"... it's more of a lab with exercises about the previous course ("Python for Data Science")

not too much easy but not hard... You need to find out the exact level of the content if it is an advanced concept or a simple one.

This course has a some bugs in it. I was clean up code a lot during this course. Overall it is a good course. I like the the labs.
