Good course, but maybe this course and the following course R programming could be combined into an 8 weeks course as that one is took longer than 4 weeks and this one took less.

A great little course, quite basic but very informative if you - like me - do not have a lot of knowledge on the subject. It can be taken in a day if you have some time to spare.

This course was a great start. It was simple enough to follow, I guess the real deal is in future courses. Definitely leaves a good impression for the rest of the specialization!

I am very glad giving this opportunity to study this course. This course has helped imporoved my skills as a data scientist. I will be glad to always be given a chance to study.

Very good!

This course offered me lots of knowledge about basic concepts and tools for becoming a Data Scientist.

It is well structured and easy to understand in most parts of it.

Es un curso muy interesante, fue un poco laborioso ya que el inglés no es mi lengua nativa aun así lo recomiendo, quedo con una grata experiencia y un buen conocimiento básico.

Overall, a very nice introduction to the basic concepts. Although I've worked with R before, there were still things that I've never heard before (mainly Github and R Markdown).

While this course is basic, it tells everything you need for the following ones. I'd add some more Git basics (other than read their documentation which is indeed a good point).

awesome course for learning data science and R.It is really helpful for beginners who wanna start or learn data science.Recommended for anyone who knows basic programming ideas.

Some of the content especially how to push a document in github through Rstudio is incomplete.

Creating Authentication tokens to push the files in github repo should be included

Not technically difficult, but very useful to see how real-world tools are used in real-life scenarios. Looking forward to blending this with the technical courses on R itself.

An excellent course about how to generate information from raw data, its an age compatible course that's help to see the future world with more real way that is based on facts.

Thank you so much Coursera for providing this course from reputed university it is honor and privilege to get these learnings it will enhance my skill and helpful in my career.

I found it very much convenient apart from Automated Video lectures. I believe teaching by prof will have much more impact on us. Indeed I liked the course.

Thank you very much.

Class was cool. I have meaning to learn how to use git, github etc. I think version control is very valuable. That is definitely the thing that I got most out of this course.

This course helps to understand the usage of R with RStudio and Git integration with RStudio.

I Recommend this course to all those aspirants who are moving towards Data Science.

Everrything is good but how do I access some links in the video. The PDF files I download, also don't seem to have it. Unless it is a problem with my adobe reader - let me know

I liked very much, brought lots of information according to Data Science. Thanks! I appreciate a lot the first course and preparing myself to participate of the others courses.

Maybe a little slow if you already have some technical exposure, but pretty straight forward and easy to follow if you don't. A well balanced class in my not so humble opinion.

This course is great, mainly for people without any experience in the field as it is very basic and introductory, I'm very anxious to see how we are going to advance from here!

This course is the first step to dive into the data science course. One finds a lot of videos about how to create and use the tools to carry out the specialization. Great job!

Es una Especializacion muy importante y el manejo pedagogico y metodologico Que realizan los profesores,ayuda mucho a los que estamos iniciando en este campo del conocimiento

Great first course of the whole specialization! This basic one is very important for later study because "Grinding a chopper will not hold up the work of cutting firewood" : )

Great overview to all the skills and applications we will be using later in the Data Science Specialization. It is brief but was great to get an overview of R, github, etc ...

Thank you for all the knowledge you have imparted to me, very good methodology, all the super great material, I hope to continue training in this beautiful world of BIG DATA.
