Ratings and Reviews for Using Python to Access Web Data

As in the previous courses, the material was well explained and easy to follow. Dr. Severance is charismatic and makes the best of a less-than-ideal medium. The assignments ended up being quite fun, but the wording is not always 100% clear, which I imagine poses some problems for those whose English isn't great. The other thing is that the assignments were always more complicated than the examples shown. In some cases, it was possible to apply what we learned; in others, it was necessary to look up how to do certain things. That's not a problem, but expectations should be more clearly communicated because people will waste hours trying to modify code they were shown only to discover that there is a very specific way of writing something. It's akin to showing someone a few collocations in a foreign language and expecting them to intuitively know an idiom they've never seen before. However, for people who are barely learning how to code, assembling and adapting code is perfectly fine, as long as you understand exactly what everything does.

Perfect!

Great course! Pretty advanced at the end, but great for peaking interest for further studies and current, real world implementation.

I found the worked examples to often be overly abstracted from the assignments. This resulted in me needing to look up how to do problems because I was stumped, only to discover that it was very easy and would have been solvable if some key information had been included in the lectures. I walked away feeling frustrated and incompetent despite completing the assignments because I was never able to figure out how to do them entirely on my own.

very good course

The course delivers what promises: once you finish you know how to access web data using Python. Highly recommended for "newbies" (like me)

for a person learning to code for the first time, this course is awesome, easy to understand

Nice Course, Only it's a little difficult fro me!

Great course, Chuck is amazing teacher and is able to explain everything in a very understandable way. Whole course is nicely made, with lot of quizes and assigments.

Great teacher! All exercises and explanations are great.
