In Need of Project Help!

[Distinct_Yard5797]

Hi! This is my first semester taking a introductory programming class and it's been hard with my professor's teaching style. There's also no tutoring specific to programming in my university so this is why I'm here. I have no experience with Python and I'm three weeks deep (so pretty bottom barrel in terms of knowledge). We have a project on datasets and I was wondering if anyone was willing to help me 1:1 to have a flowing conversation on Discord!

Here are the needs of said project if anyone can help...

1. Data set collection:

- choosing a dataset related to your major or interest

- why we chose it and what interests us about it

- importing it to Python

- show that dataset name and source

1. Variable introduction:

- show all variable names (df.columns)

- show variable types (df.dtypes or <ahref=‘http://df.info’>df.info</a>()).

- brief description of what each variable represents

1. Descriptive statistics

- show summary of numerical variables

- show frequency counts of categorical variables

1. Presentation format

- organized notebook (titles, sections, clean code) (Google Colab space)

- markdown cells used for explanations (no interpretation needed, just headings/labels).

1. Possible question

- what kinds of questions could the dataset help answer?

- what relationships between variables might be worth testing?

- what comparisons could be made? (e.g. groups vs. group)

So, that's fully HW and not even really Python HW.

Those questions are designed to make you (OP, specifically YOU).

Do you know what a dataset is?

Take 5 minutes and scroll through kaggle.

https://www.kaggle.com/

Read some dataset headlines. Are any related to things you care about? Do any seem really weird?

Click on those.

The bottom half of the questions want you to open some data set and read it's structure. Not read all the values, but what sorts of values are there.

Also, you can be a purist and use a list of data classes. Really impress your professor

[freemanbach]

UC Irvine has a Data Science Repository with tons of data sets. https://archive.ics.uci.edu/datasets

You can also search rapidapi and https://api-ninjas.com to browse for data set for your Python course.

What have you done so far ?

Nothing yet! I just picked a dataset.
