I was able to pass Week 2 Final Assignment, but I was unable to fully complete the Exercise #8. Is there any way to see the correct information, now that the assignment itself is submitted?

Yes, we are here to help, but we can’t just hand you the solution. The way to get help is to give us more information, as Raymond says. Do you pass all the tests in the notebook, but then not get full credit from the grader? If so, then please show us the grader’s messages including Show Grader Output.
If you fail the tests in the notebook, then please show us the output you get from that test failure. These courses have been in operation for several years, so it’s very likely that the same mistake has been made before and you may be able to search for the error message and find other threads that are relevant.
You mention in your profile that you are an experienced software developer, so the first question is how much of your experience is in python? If you are relatively new to python, the two things in python that are most likely to trip up experienced programmers are:
- the fact that indentation is part of the syntax
- the way “named” or “keyword” parameters work
It’s item 2) that gives rise to the most frequent bugs in the model function. You must be careful to pass all the parameters to optimize and not “hard-code” any of the values or use the defaults.
If you’re new to python, google “python named parameters” and spend 10 minutes reading the first article that google gives you.
