About the Course

This course will show how one can treat the Internet as a source of data. We will scrape, parse, and read web data as well as access data using web APIs. We will work with HTML, XML, and JSON data formats in Python. This course will cover Chapters 11-13 of the textbook “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-10 of the textbook and the first two courses in this specialization. These topics include variables and expressions, conditional execution (loops, branching, and try/except), functions, Python data structures (strings, lists, dictionaries, and tuples), and manipulating files. This course covers Python 3....

In the sixth week, it felt like they skimmed over the harder material and took me a while to understand. other that that it was very good.

Dr Chuck is great. There seemed to be a pretty big leap from the examples and the assignments though. Thoroughly enjoyed the class though.

This course was also good but I did not enjoy it as the previous ones- guess that the accessing web data issues were not as interesting...

Really nice course. Help was available when I needed it, however I think some of the integration of urllib needed to be better elaborated.

Some typos in the assignments, but otherwise very straightforward course with good information. -1 star for not having python 3 "support."

A little bit too easy on assignments and more practical videos on how to login on a website and navigate through it would have been nice.

Overall is a great introduction for access data, perhaps, it has some empty instructions due to the lack of explanation of some contents.

I'm a big fan of Dr. Chuck, and its a great course. I just felt that the XML, JSON, and the API portions could be discussed a little more

The course is as great as before. But the codes need to be explained more carefully and could introduce more details about the web data.

Excellent.

But sad part is there are not many exercises and exams. Problem are some how simpler(!) not different from done in examples.

A good Course to learn basics of Web Scrapping using XML and JSON, I learned so much stuff here that I didn't even learn in my College.

I occasionally felt lost in the application of the materials, but that could have been my own inability to anticipate a learning curve.

great course

twitter part was confusing, it required rigorous permissions from twitter online apps, therefore more insight was required.

Excellent instructor. He explains the code and concept very clearly. If the course had more coding exercises it would have been amazing

I like the teaching-style of the professor.It's very insteresting.

Btw,if more the example for accessing web Date, maybe more pratical.

El curso en general bien , pero deberia ser revisado y actualizado, en especial los trabajos ya que en ocaciones pueden ser confusos.

Dr Chuck always does a great job of feeling like you're in a real class, real teacher. I thought the content of the course was good.

Dr. Chuck is a very engaging instructor. However, the Coursera course does not guide students when they get stuck on an assignment.

Wonderful course which touched upon many things. It can be more intensive for an in depth explanation. Amazing course nonetheless!

The course is good but it takes way too much time in completion compared to previous courses I have taken in the specialization.

The third course and now I have proven three times, that I installed Python and can use it. Probably this would not be necessary.

The course needs more practice explained problems. Suddenly, the level of the course went too high. But, thank you for the course
