Lesson 1: Dataset Download and Environment Setup
Before starting the analysis, the dataset must be downloaded and prepared inside Google Colab. In this project, the dataset is sourced from Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/lainguyn123/student-performance-factors
After downloading the dataset from Kaggle, it is uploaded manually into Google Colab.
Uploading The Dataset In Colab
• Click the folder icon on the left sidebar in Colab
• Click the Upload button
• Select the downloaded ZIP file from your system
• The file appears inside the /content/ directory
Since the dataset is in ZIP format, it must be extracted before accessing the CSV file.
Code To Extract The ZIP File
! unzip "/content/archive (2).zip"
Once the ZIP file is extracted, the CSV dataset inside becomes accessible for loading into Python. This step ensures the dataset is properly prepared for inspection, cleaning, and further analysis in the next lesson.
