About the Course

This course will introduce students to the basics of the Structured Query Language (SQL) as well as basic database design for storing data as part of a multi-step data gathering, analysis, and processing effort. The course will use SQLite3 as its database. We will also build web crawlers and multi-step data gathering and visualization processes. We will use the D3.js library to do basic data visualization. This course will cover Chapters 14-15 of the book “Python for Everybody”. To succeed in this course, you should be familiar with the material covered in Chapters 1-13 of the textbook and the first three courses in this specialization. This course covers Python 3....

The course is great... You can definitely learn many things... Was kind of hard for me and i went many times back and forth through most of the lectures... However i think i learn many new things....

This course was great! I enjoyed parsing different types of data: from documents and the web. This course is definitely (rudimentary) a must take course for anyone who wants to go into data science.

Awesome stuff. Useful things covered, but the student should be able to be tested in creating himself code, not just run or (simple( edit the existing code.

For last two weeks most of the things were not clearly explained.based on that i have given less rating to this course as compare two other three courses.

This course goes little fast and gave a little knowledge on SQL Basics. Some libraries were not discussed in previous lectures but came into assignments.

wonderful course but there is a problem with my certification.

I didn't get a chance to resubmit the peer graded assignment can some help me out.

All homework were to modify from an existing code, and all lessons were skimming on indexes. I learned less than other courses from this series.

everything is fine except the final assignment, it is not related to material of the course, running someone else's code is not the main skill

Assignments were not challenging enough, especially the final one. However the lectures were interesting and engagingly delivered as always.

The course is taught very well and clearly, however programming assignments are too easy, I feel it has been done too much simplification.

Exercises in the course were very poor, simple and did not require coding, just changing one or two lines. But topic was interisting

It's OK. the lectures are good. The book needs updating, and more exercises would be helpful to practice what we learned in class.

The class is very interesting but too many topics are covered. It would have preferred more self coding, rather than small edits

Assignments are very easy, and there aren't easy to follow notes that one can use instead of always having to watch the videos.

Good Course But teaching the vast topics quickly and in summarized way.

needed more explanation and deeping on several topics

Very good lectures and examples. However, testing, especially the final, should have been much more in-depth and difficult!

more hands-on projects and tasks are needed in order to strengthen the fundamentals of dealing with databases using python

not too many new things about Python. mostly introduction to Python capabilities in databases/

overall pretty good class.

Focused too much on SQL rather than Python, so not really that helpful for people who already know SQL (like myself)

By Ismail S

The only thing learned during this course was how to use SQL in python...The rest of lectures are just fillers

Database code is just a walkthrough. It should have been more details... Its hard to understand the code :(

Nice course but didn't include enough python code for other database vendors and wasn't challenging enough

I do not find this course is useful to learn seems it only gives a guideline to the python database.

Week 5 was not well explained and structured. Few things were confusing concepts were missing.

It seemed to me a little bit too superficial... It was almost only copying and pasting code...
