Explanations could have been more clear. More focus was required on urllib and parsing.

Compared to the previous two courses, this one is poorly structured, rushed and unclear

Very long videos, difficult to follow and not a nice code evaluation platform

still i haven't feel i have completed and i acquired knowledge on this course

Didn't find this course very useful what I was looking for, boring!

it's not good for learning python for use in data science

this was a very boring course from the abouve to courses

I cannot complete this course since labs are not working

Good videos, but way too easy and not enough practice.

the explanation in xml, html, json is not enough

felt very unnecessary for the speciatialization

I finished it, and still showing not completed

Very difficult to understand all code

lots of parts need more explaination

This class is not challenging at all

peer graded assignment is not good

Non è all'altezza dei precedenti.

i didn't undrestant it completely

Not as good as the other two

not so much into the subject

Not very useful material

Not good

I could not wait to finish this course of the specialization to write my review.

Even though the first two courses in the specialization were pretty straightforward, this one has terrorised me. Now, I understand the difficulty some people might have met in the previous two courses and left mixed reviews.

I do not even know where to start with how bad this course was. There has been incomplete information in the online course that you could find in the textbook. But, some written scripts/programs in the textbook are different/changed from the ones in the video. Moreover, the assignments' descriptions are so hard to understand that when we had to use BeautifulSoup to follow links it took me 1 hour to understand what I was asked to do. I am not a native English speaker and I could have worded it better.

Then there are other issues such as:

- explanations of installing BeatifulSoup, and where, unclear

- accessing Google API does not work anymore; how am I supposed to follow along with the example given for how to work with APIs?

- Twitter has changed the way you can access their API and now requires 3 tokens, not 4 as in the videos/textbook; I guess I have to look this one up on the internet too, so I can properly grasp the concept

- there is missing information in the course/textbook on how to approach the assignments.

I do not mind doing research on my own, but how am I supposed to know what to look for if I am not told what I need to finish the assignments? The other issue, and the reason I signed up to Coursera, is that infomation you find online is overwhelming and it seems no one wants to make programming easy for someone that has no clue how to start. I would expect this not to be an issue when using Coursera. And the structure, "written script" and explained before the actual script being written down is so bad that can confuse people so badly.

I've completed the two previous courses and I learned basic programming, I had few things which weren't ideal. This "course" or section I should say, is a disaster.Previous issues were the little content available for each course, by the end of it you feel rather void because you expected better quality and more content than 15 minutes max video per week. The only positive were the exercises which you would see in the book at the end of the chapters.Each course is mediocre as the teaching uses little formal language, which would have been appreciated, it is not like a college "course": the standards are very low, and fails to explain anyway because the explanation is not well prepared and brushes off content. In this last Section: it is not a course, it became worse; became faster, didn't explain content neither in the slides nor the book and the main concepts are barely introduced. It looked like he bored himself while explaining and writing, and it is not an excessive description.There are at the end of each week course interviews with the creators of the programming languages and of himself traveling the world and having fun which left me perplexed, for obvious reasons for the latter, and for former as the interviews is about concepts and issues not related to the course at all, discussion which the supposed new programmer would never understand and of course I've never learned anything from the interviews, never understood what they were even talking about.I planned to do other courses like django and web development from the same teacher but the obvious lack of effort in the teaching made me reconsider my learning journey.
