Ratings and Reviews for Using Python to Access Web Data

It was amazing course and easy to understand at the same time. Topics cover all the basics . I can humbly offer extra non-mandatory lectures and assignments(A bit harder and taking more effort to complete) for non-beginner students.

Perfect!!

Great style of teaching and the material is excellent, a great introduction for users of data (esp external data and through API's)

Very interesting.

I learn this class ,the exercise is very easy and do not takes pain to try for it. Just so easy

Great course(series) for any beginner willing to put in a decent amount of work; you reap what you sow.

perfect

Mr Sverance is so funny and humorous. The class is easy to unserstand.

Another interesting course.learnt loads. Eagerly awaiting the next.

Compared to other Python Courses I have taken this is course has no meat on them bones and is NOT worth $80 at all even for a certificate. However for FREE? ok. Worth the introduction to some useful tools. Spend your time and money on a more valuable course like Fundamentals of Computing Specialization, which is awesome, and is about the same price as of this writing. This course offers no challenge, little content, and the assignments let me down. Assignments are basically handed to you where you only need to alter one line of text to get the right answer on what is supposed to take an hour. Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python thru Rice U has content and weekly mini projects that really push your learning ability and after taking the courses, I felt like I really got something out of it. This course barely scratches the surface of "Accessing Web Data" and does nothing to challenge your coding skills. The positive side, it introduces you to Web API's, the basics of Beautiful Soup, and other BUZZWORDS. At least structure assignments to combine all of the efforts learned in previous chapters onto one another. Side note... what is the professor doing filming lectures on vacation or at lunch? This does nothing to add to the content of the course and is distracting and unprofesh. The meaningless assignments let me down.
