This course is divided into four parts which involve hands on projects as well as covering new content in each module. Our goal is to learn about how we can interact with hard to access web data (when perhaps there is no API for the data), and build useful programs that search, download, and parse web data. We will cover some HTML, web scraping, working with browser and command line programs, reading from the clip board, downloading and parsing HTML data using BS4 and Python, downloading pictures, storing data, controlling the browser with the Selenium module, and many other elements of web scraping.

I love teaching programming using fun and interesting examples because it helps students go farther than learning hard to contextualize concepts. Understanding what we are doing and why means that students will be able to apply algebraic concepts (like x+y) having understood examples like (red bike + blue bike) in a way that has context and meaning. 

提供的家庭作業
Each module of the course will involve reviewing code and other materials and spending time working through the examples to build and practice coding. This involves working through the video and code examples provided with the module, and uploading homework for each module. The modules in this course build on each other, so it is important to complete each module before working on the next. Homework should take approximately one to two hours per week, in addition to the one to two hours required to work through each module. This may take longer depending on the complexity of the module, and the code that the student is interested in working on. This course may have new concepts which will take additional time to work through. There will be a homework assignment provided for each module of the course, students can work on their own version of the topics that are being covered using the sample provided code or come up with their own unique idea. The goal is to spend time programming each week and incrementally build coding skills.

提供的評估
All submissions to the classroom or the teacher section for weekly submissions will be reviewed and feedback will be provided. Feedback is generally given either as an informal assessment, or with a video, of course, if students run into problems with their code, they are more than welcome to send in any issues, which will be promptly addressed.
