very good, very intuitive course material. however doing something in full python environment within the course would have been even better. thank you professors and all others from UMich and coursera

This was a really excellent course. The functional project at the end helped me understand how recommendation systems work and now I'm very excited to try to build a similar system for books I love.

I understand that APIs are an integral part of getting into programming but, I feel that this course was just streamlined to make use of APIs. The runestone textbook had issues with caching the responses and would often lead to wrong data accumulation.

In general it is a good course but it would be more practical to teach django for the http request/response part, specially if you think that the industry works in terms of backend and frontend, therefore, professionally it would much appreciated.

I was a bit disappointed at week 3. I took help for almost 90% of the project work. There were no practice programs for week 3 and for a slow learner like I lost a lot of confidence and I'm back to start feeling like a dumb person.
Thank you.

The lessons on REST API need more information and more examples about the subject.
Also, the instructions in the final project should be cleaner. If a list is required, the specifically write, "output is a list. this list will contain".

Compared to the first two classes in the Python 3 Specialization, this one has fewer exercise opportunities and is highly focused on a few concepts. The final project is a bear, due largely to challenges in the Runestone environment.

The whole REST stuff using that idiotic get with caching was a nightmare to work through. Just give us the option of ignoring the internal built-in stuff, get our own API Keys and work it out.

The final assessment is a nightmare as your CACHE File is broken. My code works perfectly in my IDE but I never could make it work on your evaluation tool. Wasted 5 days on this.

the final project was very difficult and had to learn a package that only applied to this class and will never be used outside of class and has less function

Good course. The training environment is a bit rough to work in just for this specific course. Pay attention to the instrcutions to get it to run right

Last module doesn't have enough practice questions to complete the project without any hassle. Apart from this, the lectures are pretty dope.

The Runestone environment becomes very slow once you're working with multiple functions and is sensitive to bugs.

the last question of project is such a challenge, the run time error is not helping in many cases

API Section exercises could be better. They are not hard but the configuration is intensive.

The API documents are not so useful. The final project is fun though.
