I've completed the two previous courses and I learned basic programming, I had few things which weren't ideal. This "course" or section I should say, is a disaster.Previous issues were the little content available for each course, by the end of it you feel rather void because you expected better quality and more content than 15 minutes max video per week. The only positive were the exercises which you would see in the book at the end of the chapters.Each course is mediocre as the teaching uses little formal language, which would have been appreciated, it is not like a college "course": the standards are very low, and fails to explain anyway because the explanation is not well prepared and brushes off content. In this last Section: it is not a course, it became worse; became faster, didn't explain content neither in the slides nor the book and the main concepts are barely introduced. It looked like he bored himself while explaining and writing, and it is not an excessive description.There are at the end of each week course interviews with the creators of the programming languages and of himself traveling the world and having fun which left me perplexed, for obvious reasons for the latter, and for former as the interviews is about concepts and issues not related to the course at all, discussion which the supposed new programmer would never understand and of course I've never learned anything from the interviews, never understood what they were even talking about.I planned to do other courses like django and web development from the same teacher but the obvious lack of effort in the teaching made me reconsider my learning journey.
The best
same as the previous courses, it was amazing and full of wishdom! Every Professor needs to be like Dr. Chuck, hehe :))
Thank you Dr. Chuck
good
Challenging cource. Keep It up
The course was great & I have always liked Chuck. His teaching style is easy to get and engaging. It helps to have a teacher who is passionate about the material.
Of course, all thanks and respect to Dr. Chuck for this special course, which opened our eyes to some of the uses of Python for dealing with APIs, JSON files and XML. R E C O M M E N D E D 100%
Dr Chuck is a personable teacher who stays on point.
The course "Using Python to Access Web Data" on Coursera provided a valuable learning experience. It covered essential topics like web scraping, parsing HTML, working with APIs, and handling data formats. The content was well-structured, with clear explanations and practical examples. The hands-on exercises and assignments helped solidify the concepts. The discussion forums and peer-reviewed assignments provided opportunities for interaction and feedback. Overall, I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in using Python for web data access.
