I had to retry it about 5 times. It also succeeded partially one time, another try fixed that.
It also helped to delete a second file that had a copy I made of the test . I think the grading is assuming a single .py file in the notebook

Identifying Vulnerable Communities using the U.S. Census API | Coursera

Hello,

I’ve completed the programming assignment “Identifying Vulnerable Communities using the U.S. Census API” from Module 2 of the course “Data I/O and Preprocessing with Python and SQL” by DeepLearning.AI.

Despite obtaining the same outputs as those shown in the expected results, I received only 65% from the auto-grader. I’ve double-checked my code, verified every cell, and even consulted multiple LLMs, which confirmed the correctness of my solutions.

The file I submitted was titled:
C4M2_Assignment-1.ipynb

I’ve already contacted Coursera Support (case #05575509), and they recommended I bring the issue to this community so that the teaching staff can review it directly.

Could someone please help confirm if this might be a bug in the grader?

Thank you very much in advance

Hi. Please create a new post for this issue. Also, please remove the -1 from the filename. Otherwise, the grader will check the other notebook with the default filename. Also, please include the error messages you’ve been getting from the grader. Thanks.

For reference, the issue with Palwasha’s notebook is just a malformed query in exercise 8. With that, please make sure that all the notebook cells run, then save the notebook before submitting.

An error occurred: The “coursera-platform” tag cannot be used in the “Data I/O and Processing with Python and SQL” category. Please remove it
I can´t create a new post I obtain the message above every time I try. i don´t know which tag to use in order to create a new post

“I’m very sorry for the inconvenience. I’ve reviewed Exercise 3 and corrected a small mistake that was affecting everything else. I had written int instead of Int. What I don’t understand is that I was still getting the expected outputs, which is why it took me so long to identify the root of the problem.”

Hi! Does this mean you’ve passed the assignment now? If so, that’s great! If you can send me a direct message of the exact code that was problematic, that would be helpful for next time we update the grader. You can click on my name then the blue Message button.

On another note, please also send me a screenshot of what happens when you fail to create a new post. I can escalate for fixing.

Thanks!
