About the Course

This mini-course is intended to for you to demonstrate foundational Python skills for working with data. This course primarily involves completing a project in which you will assume the role of a Data Scientist or a Data Analyst and be provided with a real-world data set and a real-world inspired scenario to identify patterns and trends. You will perform specific data science and data analytics tasks such as extracting data, web scraping, visualizing data and creating a dashboard. This project will showcase your proficiency with Python and using libraries such as Pandas and Beautiful Soup within a Jupyter Notebook. Upon completion you will have an impressive project to add to your job portfolio. PRE-REQUISITE: **Python for Data Science, AI and Development** course from IBM is a pre-requisite for this project course. Please ensure that before taking this course you have either completed the Python for Data Science, AI and Development course from IBM or have equivalent proficiency in working with Python and data. NOTE: This course is not intended to teach you Python and does not have too much instructional content. It is intended for you to apply prior Python knowledge....

Had a few issues with my IBM Cloud account and adding the Jupyter notebook but the help\response was great so was resolved quickly.

Great material that can defintely be applied to work experiences.

Lab works became more challenging and difficult throughout end of the course. Some tasks I've spent more than week just to find out the mistake. It is quite challenging yet fulfilling at the same time

I enjoyed all the labs in this course, they helped to cement the knowledge learned in the prior basic Python course. The estimation for time to complete the labs is extremely low though. Please consider amending the estimated completion times to reflect the fact that novice Python programmers are taking this course.

Hi! This is a great course! It is desirable to have at least a basic knowledge of python. Even without any skills, I recommend this course, it takes you from the basics of the language to the very essence of its use. I happily remembered what I knew, repeated it, and gained new knowledge. Thank you for this course!

I wish all the courses in this IBM certificate had this sort of assignment instead of quizzes. It would be great to make a better platform for screenshots - it is not visible, and hence peers provide wrong answers to the submission.

But overall, this was the most useful course in the certificate series.

The practical work presented in this project is truly commendable. The author demonstrates a strong understanding of the subject matter and skillfully navigates through various challenges.

One of the standout aspects of this work is the incremental approach taken towards increasing hardness.

In comparison with other IBM courses, this one is objectively weaker, due to the small amount of information provided. At the same time, it is always useful to repeat parsing materials, and laboratory materials are beyond praise. Upfront 5 stars, but recommend deepening the course.

I've enjoyed the course more than I was expecting. I believe they have upgraded it, looking at previous reviews.

I liked that we had to look at libraries to get the slight changes to the code taught in previous courses.

I also think the time pressure is a good gauge to get it done.

This mini project guided course is really good to kick start your Data Science Project. However, If you do not have any prior experience in Python Programming, I would suggest you to take "Python for Data Science, AI & Development" before you take this course.

Loved it. Webscraping is one of the core skills that I've been wanting to learn, so I love that you guys created this new minicourse to give more focus to it! Great that you used the ongoing Tesla and GameStop stock news to make the subject matter topical too!

THANK YOU COURSERA

MY JOURNERY TO BECOME A PRO IN DATA SCIENCE IS INDEED BEING POLISHED

I have two opinions of this course : The course is complex because it is required to know what is being done and it is NOT for beginners . However, the course teaches a very useful practical application but it is necessary to study from other sources.

The course was VERY informative and difficult, but well taught. I really enjoyed web scraping and transforming the data to be used. I would like to learn more about graphing and plotting. I believe that is in future courses. This course is excellent.

Great way to practice all the theoretical knowledge gained in the previous lessons of the certification. Multiple ways to collect data (via API and web scraping) and processing them in order to build our own first dashboard within this certification.

Really best course to study python basics. i really worked hard to get my outputs and it was really overwhelming when i received my outputs. The final assignments and their link to git hub was also really great. Now i got an opening to git hub too.

The project taught me how to request data using requests and BeautifulSoup libraries. I also enjoyed the part where they have given a lot of examples prior to the exercises given. I have learned a lot from this project.

Thank you so much! I never thought I can do webscraping now! LOL! I enjoyed learning Python, and I am looking forward to learning also uploading data into RDBMS using Python.

Thank you so much, IBM and Coursera :-)

This was excellent, I really needed an opportunity to apply the techniques learned so far and this was an excellent example. Well guided, but didn't totally hold your hand - was good to get me thinking.

Extremely helpful and gives a very good brief hands on approach of a real world scenario. New learners are expected to know basic python to get the best of the best out of this amazing course!
