Using python for research homework week 3: case study 2
Here is the link to the Using Python For Research HarvardX course
PH526x: Using Python For Research - Course SyllabusCourse InstructorJukka-Pekka "JP" Onnela Course DescriptionThis course bridges the gap between introductory and advanced courses in Python. While there are many excellent introductory Python courses available, most typically do not go deep enough for you to apply your Python skills to research projects. In this course, after first reviewing the basics of Python 3, we learn about tools commonly used in research settings. Using a combination of a guided introduction and more independent in-depth exploration, you will get to practice your new Python skills with various case studies chosen for their scientific breadth and their coverage of different Python features.

FAQSWhat is the deadline to sign up for a Verified Certificate?May 5, 2018 00:00 UTC How do I earn a certificate?To earn a certificate, you must sign up for a Verified Certificate by the May 5 deadline and earn a grade of at least 70%. When you achieve this score, an option will appear on the Progress page to request a certificate. For more information, click on this link. Caution: the grade that you see on your dashboard reflects your grade at that time you requested the certificate. If you complete more assignments to raise your grade, the grade on your Progress page changes, but the grade listed on your dashboard is not updated. How do I upgrade to a verified certificate?Go to your edX Dashboard (by clicking the edX icon at the top left of this page). Under this course, click the "Challenge Yourself!" link. The last day to sign up for a verified certificate is May 5, 2018. How long does the course take?That is up to you! It is 5 weeks of content. Just be aware that the course closes on May 15, 2018! I am doing well on the assessments, but when I look under "Progress" I have a very low grade...why?The grade is calculated based on all of the assessments you have completed and the assessments that you have not completed (edX says you have a "zero" on those assessments until you have attempted them). You will see your overall grade move up as you progress through the course. |
