Ratings and Reviews for Using Python to Access Web Data

I enjoyed this course, and the learning materials and instructor is great, but I felt that quite a bit that was covered (like the Twitter URL and API) required me to accept a number of principles/code that seemed to be a lot more complex than my beginner level could really engage with. When the assignments came we were given sample code that was 80-90% usable in our assignments. I did not feel like I was learning as much when I did not have to write my own code but just changed one or two lines...I also did not feel comfortable to attempt my own version as there were so much (given) code that I understood the reasons for but not really how to use it differently myself.

Very well structured course, professor has done an excellent job in explaining the concepts.

Awesome course

I did not like the part about the API. I believe this can be improved further plus the codes used were old

Well balanced introduction to web data retrieving, sound coding examples and usual clarity in background explanation by Dr. Chuck

course is informative .but i think few topics need more time and more precise information . graded assignments should also be increased for better programming.else the course is good.

The twitter api chapters confused me a lot during the later stages. But i think the assignments and quizzes are very very well thought for such a complex set of topics otherwise students just get lost and get stuck at some assignments and quit altogether! 1 star deducted because i thought Dr. Chuck could have explained the worked twitter api assignment in a better way as he got stuck in some places and it confused me lot at that moment! However the exercise made things very clear so over happy!

Great and concise material with to the point explanation. Loved it Dr.Chuck

The XML/JSON part was too steep, for begginer level XML to Dictionary parsing is complex, and we should go more thoroughly for lines of code, not enough info to grasp the concepts for task completion.

Very useful. It teachs you to access quite a good range of data in the Web , including Geolocations. Thanks Dr. Chuck! Really useful!
