About the Course

In the capstone, students will build a series of applications to retrieve, process and visualize data using Python. The projects will involve all the elements of the specialization. In the first part of the capstone, students will do some visualizations to become familiar with the technologies in use and then will pursue their own project to visualize some other data that they have or can find. Chapters 15 and 16 from the book “Python for Everybody” will serve as the backbone for the capstone. This course covers Python 3....

Now I understand how data mining, API's and dumping and retrieving data from a database works. Excellent course to start understanding how python can be used to work with data sources on the internet.

This course would benefit by making students do at least some of the work for the capstone assignment. Just downloading and running code shouldn't be enough to complete it.

More content should be added. For example a full walk through of a real life project. Covering the all components that come into planing and executing a real project.

I wouldn't bother to do this course. You don't have to write a single line of code to complete this course. I have only done it just to complete the specialization.

Assignments are trivial and assignment grading needlessly picky without providing educational value. The grading process is not efficient and status is not apparent

I thought this was a good course. Dr. Chuck goes through an interesting example of going through email data and there is plenty of time to do your own project.

It's like a read-only course, or running the code that has been provided. Exercise is not as good as what has been offered in the other UM specialisation.

The Capstone was adequate, but I had hope for a bit more of a challenge. The specialization all together helped me get a better grip on Python Basics.

You don't really do much in the way of coding to complete. Just watch the videos (which are really good) and run the programs that are provided.

I'd rather have assignments for which you really need to change/write code, not just run existing one. Otherwise the course by itself is great.

It's interesting to see more complicated implementations of what we've learned, but the capstone is not as strong as the first four courses.

Good to review and inspect code but I would have liked some code assignments which lead us into the data analysis in a more hands-on way

Excelente curso, no obstante quería obtener el certificado con honores y no me fue posible aún siguiendo las instrucciones indicadas.

Love Dr. Chuck's teaching style, but was overwhelmed with this class. Will go back and revisit some material to see if that helps.

I would have liked this course to include more coding practise, instead of running ready made code. Although that was fun too..

I hope in this course, there will be more materials related to the analysis of those codes instead of just simply using them.

Not good enough. Only run, run, run, and less participation than courses before. Add some wrong code to correct may be better

I am not sure if it was ever stated that there would be no coding, but there wasn't any. In any case, thanks Dr Chuck! :-)

slow process of assignment grading by the instructor contradicting to the fast replies of staff on forum.

Good class. There was a of new and confusing coding concepts that weren't explained in detail, however.

This capstone contained no code training sessions. Just listen and learn. Not at all what I expected.

By Gabriele B

I expected some more coding in the capstone rather than just apply code that has already been written

By Pete F

While there is value in subject matter, coding by the learner should be included in this module.

Could use more substantial programming assignments. Escalates a bit too quickly near the end.

the lecture videos made my concepts clear but the assignments could be more challenging

Much more independent study

Not so instructive

Nevertheless, it's a great set of courses
