I like this course as it provides intro to parsing and many other techniques as well as knowledge on different protocols of data structures.
However, it seems that for the last assignment there is a incompatibility between python 3.7.1 and the code that I run for the last assignment, as only the lowercase input can generate the correct place_id. Wish this issue got fixed

Great course but just lacks a little practise sessions
If you wanna learn how to parse HTML, XML, JSON and get started with web scraping to access data, this is a good starting point.
nice assignments
It was a Happy Learning with University of Michigan.
Thanks!
One of the best courses that I have ever taken.
Top lecturer, keeping it fun.
Great course, great teacher, great platform
I felt that more practical examples were needed. I struggled getting the exercises done. Even when I completed them it didn't feel like I knew what I was doing - more like "ok it is working now, don't touch it" feeling is what I felt. I understand one might say, the canned reply of "that is how programming is" but this one felt different.
Great course, however skimmed over some key topics that are pretty fundamental to understanding not just the Python but the context of Python in web data extraction.
