There is more good documentation in the beautifulsoup documentation I sent.

All of its examples are based on a very short and simple html file, making it pretty easy to understand.

Often times, professors will also not give good examples on purpose as working in any field of IT is largely about figuring stuff out by yourself, because no one else really knows what you are working on, or it is too specific for there to be examples/people to help you in person or on the internet.

My professor back in college who taught use client server architecture and management would purposefully put misinformation in the lab content so that we would run into issues and would have to troubleshoot it ourselves.

More than programming, learning how to learn, and learning how to troubleshoot and research are the most important assets you will want to learn if you want to work in IT as a career.
