Course Q&A AI Python for Beginners
1

Hi, my name is Suzanne. I’m from Palm Springs, CA USA. I’ve waitressed my whole career and at 46 am making a change. I am taking AI Python course on coursera and I can’t even get through the first test. My code is all correct but the check your code cells keep giving errors. I asked the AI bot but the best answer it can give is that if the instructor was suppose to provide import information to run it on, then I need to get in touch with the instructor. I am instructed to ask for help on the forum here, as there is no getting in touch with the instructor. It’s the first test. The check your code cells. I can’t pass without those working. Is there some trick that I am missing? Is there some instruction that I am missing? I don’t get it. Please, if anyone has made it through and knows anything about coding with Python that can help me figure out how to make those cells work so that I can move on I would appreciate it.

Welcome to the forum and community.
First, a helpful tip:

When you have a question about a course, it’s best to post in the forum area for that course. This helps mentors for that course to help you quickly.

All of the course forums can be found via the “Course Q&A” link in the left-side menu.

I’ll move this thread to the forum area for that course.

Now, specific to your question.
I’m not a mentor for that course, so I have not seen the materials. But consider these general tips:

  • Every time you open a notebook, you must run all of the cells starting from the top of the page. Generally that’s where the assets are imported and the workspace is set up.

  • Follow the instructions in the notebook. Do not add extra code outside of where it’s marked. Do not add cells, do not delete cells, do not move cells around. All of these things will cause confusion.

  • When you have question, it’s best if you post a screen capture image that shows the error, assert message, or whatever it is you found confusing.

  • Do not ever post your code for an assignment on the forum. That’s not allowed by the Code of Conduct. If a mentor needs to see your code, we’ll contact you via the personal message system, and provide instructions.
