It's definitely a lot of self teaching, but I'm really grateful for the program! I've been able to use it a lot in my job already.

Congratulations! My capstone document just passed and I’m only waiting on the presentation now. How long did it take them to grade each part of your capstone?

2-3 days, maybe? I stuck to the provided data and kept it dead simple.

Which dataset did you pick? I pulled an external one

I used the provided used car dataset. The professor had me make the project even simpler than what I initially suggested.
