Instead of taking advantage of that great tool which is Codelens, this course's last week is almost entiley based on a taylor made module (request_with_cache) which can't be debugged with codelens because it is not included. Further more, this module is as well not working on the interpreter, so basically there isn't any other way to work with it different than trial error.
It is a pitty given that the first 2 weeks of the course are awesome. It is the third one which supposedly contains the added value, the one that is less flexible and not clear.

Very good as usual, though the final assignment was a little bit challenging as somehow I could not run "import requests_with_caching" (so I could not practice in my own Spyder environment). The final question was also well designed as one must recall the method in Section 16.5. Breaking Ties: Second Sorting.
One of the best courses in Coursera. Hardly do I see a course that give clear instruction, with a runstone environment that allows me to directly practice after learning. Most of the courses I have learnt are quite boring with a lot of theories. This course just stands out !!!
3 course in the excellent series and perhaps the best one so far. Great lectures and exercises!
Can be better
The final assignment which requires secondary sort on string in rever order is genius!
Took a lot of trial and error to get it right.
Really learned the power of lambda and sorting
Thank you!
Great information but there are issues with the way Runestone limits Python functionality. For the final project I had to use an Incognito window to prevent bugs, and the directions were unclear. It took 2 days of trial and error to figure this out, and the course staff was not helpful in resolving the issue.
It is a awesome course
Thanks a lot for this great course
