Definitely some whirlwind action through the Terminal at times, but sets up some important frameworks and capabilities before moving to more advanced content.

Excellent course for the beginners. The course does justice in every manner. Superb platform to move on to the remainder of the courses in the specialization.

Serves as a great intro for data science (not that I'm an expert yet), and a good resource for making sure you have R and Git up and running on your computer.

Well paced and with excellent videos (and supporting textbook). This course provides a great insight into what is possible with Data Science and how to begin.

The first course of the Data Science Specialization is relatively easy, but reviews and puts in place everything that will be needed in the following courses.

This course is very interactive and user friendly for someone who is not a programmer and has limited programming language experience. I am very happy so far!

It was very well explained. proved very helpful for me to understand the basics of what a data scientist needs to know about data, data science and analytics.

Really enjoyed the course and Jeff Leak's clear presentation. Feel ready and excited to go and learn even more about Data Science starting with R Programming

O curso foi bastante intuitivo e de fácil compreensão. Nunca imaginei que eu fosse me adaptar tão bem com a voz automatizada do curso, mas foi bem tranquilo.

This is the most HANDS-ON course. I love it. I feel that I learn something in every single lesson and those are the skills I want to obtain from a Course.

very informative. I was able to grasp the material even though I had no prior background knowledge on the subject. I would definitely recommend this subject.

A great intro to setting up R, R studio, and Git, and basic data science courses that allow students to build to more in-depth content in subsequent courses.

Gave me confidence to use toolboxes available to work with Data Science problems.

Assignment were not too complicated and I like the way course was conducted.

As the first course of data science, I feel it is very clear and attracts me to do further study, I cannot wait to continue my journey of data scientist now.

I like how the course is structured. I learned a lot. I was able to set up a github account and download R, R studio and all the tools I need to get started.

Great introduction to the different statistical software packages, Git/Github, intro to data science terminology, and basic command functions to get started.

I loved this course. The videos were great and most informative. It was fun. On my way to learning more. Thanks to my great instructors and fellow students.

I think this course is a good start point, especially if you're trying to figure out if a career in Data Science is both something you'd enjoy and feasible.

I was actually wondering if this is tough since I am also taking online classes from somewhere and still have work, but I think I really needed this course.

El curso es muy dinámico, equilibrando bien la exigencia con la motivación para seguir atentamente el desarrollo de los contenidos. Totalmente recomendable.

This course was a quick and easy introduction to the Data Science Specialization. I am looking forward to taking the other courses related to Data Science.

It is so good for a beginner to get start with R and R programming. Because I have the tools that I need to R programming!! Can't wait to go further in R!

Easy to understand and practice. Although I found some challenges especially in week 3, the course motivated me to keep going through a well-taught method.

This is an extremely fine drafted course for begginer to data science, it has helped me in putting the stepping stone towards a new dimension to my career.

Good start in data science, I learned basic principles of R, using RStudio, integration with GitHub and also basic principles of Data Science and Big Data.
