TOP REVIEWS FROM DATA ANALYSIS WITH R PROGRAMMING
Carrie's enthusiam for R was contagious. She provides clear and easy to understand explanations, and she is pleasant to listen to. It was easy to follow up. I am myself an R enthusiast now. Thank you!
It was a wonderful step by step teaching process. Really helped me gather the basics of R. Would love to have had additional resources for optional assignments at the end of it. For more practice.
Content was fine. This instructor had some troubles reading sometimes, and for me she was a bit boring. However, I think it was a very good introduction to R and the functions that might be useful!
Initially I was not so interested in this part of the specialisation but everything has changed after this course. The course instructor explained all the concepts nicely. Now I love programming
