About the Course

This course will introduce students to the basics of the Structured Query Language (SQL) as well as basic database design for storing data as part of a multi-step data gathering, analysis, and processing effort. The course will use SQLite3 as its database. We will also build web crawlers and multi-step data gathering and visualization processes. We will use the D3.js library to do basic data visualization. This course will cover Chapters 14-15 of the book “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-13 of the textbook and the first three courses in this specialization. This course covers Python 3....

Touches on a lot of subjects. Each having its own complexity. I'd have loved of the concepts are covered in a little more depth.

This course could do with harder assignments. This last one was just "run my code" and screenshot stuff. Learned a lot though

Great course but personally I think it will better if Pandas is taught instead of SQL, especially for a beginners course.

Great course with LOTS of info. I only wish some of the techniques seen in more complex code was talked about a bit more.

I like this course, but not as good as the previous three. I think it did not present the database models very clearly.

El curso es genial y Charles explica muy bien. Pero los prácticos van de más a menos. El último es demasiado fácil.

Peer graded assingments take a lot of time because you need to be graded by three others and a instructure from UM.

Its good, as the other course, but the extension of the topics, maybe need to make another specialization for it.

Topics covered are great, but there is a lack of assignments to be done by students completely on themselves.

Id suggest for week 4 and 5 to have more difficult exams. I loved the course nevertheless. Thanks Dr. Chuck!
