It was really insightful, coming from knowing almost nothing about statistics or experimental design, it was easy to understand while not feeling shallow. Just the right amount of information density.

As a business student from Bangladesh who is aspiring to be a data analyst in near future, I love this course very much. The quizzes and assessments were the places to check how much I exactly learnt.

Nice introduction. I especially enjoyed setting up version control for my local R projects via Git/Github. Simple but such an improvement!

Great starting point for those looking to dip their toes into Data Science. Good balance between "rookiness" and more experience profiles.

Very interesting course, I was able to understand most of the stuff enough when i dont have a background knowledge about it. Thanks a lot!

Excellent beginning to this class. I wish there was a bit more about the in's and out's of R - maybe something more about compute science.

Good intro course however it just scratches the surface for a non-programmer like myself who has no previous experience in R programming.
