About the Course

In this course you will get an introduction to the main tools and ideas in the data scientist's toolbox. The course gives an overview of the data, questions, and tools that data analysts and data scientists work with. There are two components to this course. The first is a conceptual introduction to the ideas behind turning data into actionable knowledge. The second is a practical introduction to the tools that will be used in the program like version control, markdown, git, GitHub, R, and RStudio....

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.

It was pretty good, but most of the information is rehashed briefly in the intro to R Programming

Course was good, nice introduction to data science and its branches. There was not much of depth.

I don't feel like I learned a ton from this, but hopefully, it prepares me for the next courses.

I didn't like the fact that the instructor didn't feel human-like, however, it felt more robotic

Content is not found sufficient. Also order of the video series also requires some modifications

A necessary prerequisite for the other Data Science classes, but not really a standalone course.

I liked it because it helped me to configured the software that I will use in the next courses.

Good overview of existing tools but more information will be useful to dig into the data world.

Peer-review by some user that have no understanding or related knowledge not seems to be good.

I think maybe because I have computer science background, so I think this course is too easy.

I don't really think that this amount of information should exist as a whole separate course.

Good overview. But it is confusing for the first class when you have no idea about the topic.

Need more practice in R programing, Github, commit, branching, adding text, making directory

some information was interesting but in general I don't think it was crucial for learning R.

If you don't know any thing about data science, good introduction, otherwise a wast of time.

A very simple course, focussed on installing the correct tools on your computer to learn R.

Too little material for 4 weeks. All this could've been written in a PDF instead of videos.

the computer voice is very hard to handle.

low production value of the course in that part.

Video lectures where TTS, not at all engaging. Thankfully, text material was well written.

Overall the course content is good, but the power points are not engaging and interactive.

Very Basic level. A little difficult to stay focused without having an instructor around.

Very basic, may be a bit more use cases on Git would have been useful. But that's just me

Few content for an entire course. I think this one could be together with R Programming.

Wasn't as good as I expected, but still I learnt from it, I can say it's above average.

I am aware that this is the introduction to this topic but it was a bit long-drawn-out.
