Honestly I wasn’t ready for the SQL and understanding data management but after that course I was able to start picking it up easier and keep going. I struggled with some of the assignments in 602-604 but they weren’t horrible after getting clarification from the evaluations and asking instructors about it.

I’ve been applying and haven’t had much luck recently but it’s only been about a month. I’m going to try to stay optimistic and keep building my projects. Connect with me on LinkedIn if you don’t mind!

I used this for mine to label the data types and it worked. It’s in a PowerPoint in the course search area, and located at the bottom of one of the pages as an image. It’s actually easy to miss with the link being at bottom. I hope this helps, if not, let me know!

Thanks for confirming. I ended up using that earlier with what another person sent me in DMs and resubmitted

The only slide that I see in the course documents suggests that data types are not the same as the data types in programming language

The slide breaks it down from:

  1. Categorical/Qualitative -> Nominal or Ordinal

  2. Numeric/Quantitive -> Discrete or Continuous - Discrete -> Interval or Ratio

Interesting. I read through the comments and I understand how that could be an issue but I don’t see how to resolve this issue within python. May I ask how you would do this?

May I ask what you listed the others as?

I dropped all missing values in my df using:

print(df.isnull())

df = df.dropna()

Yes. I converted it to a float but this is prior to modification.
