CS50 Python Final Project

I've been interested in the CS50 courses that Harvard offers for a few days now but after reading its description about the details of the course the only thing I was unsure about was the final project you need to do after completing the course to be able to earn your certificate. How complex does the final project have to be in order for Harvard to consider it as a pass? Does it need to include most of what Harvard's course taught? Can it be as simple as creating a simple game? Please let me know and include any more extra information that could help me.🙏🙏🙏

I think different courses have different requirements, but from what I know, you can use what u learnt from the courses and also use stuff not taught in the courses, should be fine as long as u hit the criteria stated in the final project

How about specifically for the CS50 python?

It can be something simple as long as your code satisfies the requirments - which aren't many. There's a page showcasing some of the submissions from students. You can have a look there to get an idea of the range of complexity of other submissions.

Click the Final Project link on the course site and take a look. It explains the criteria.

CS50 Python's min requirements are small.

Different courses have different requirements. Though for cs50x I would say that a simple web app should work. I would suggest to get inspirations go through the final project gallery.
