Data visualization is a critical skill for anyone that routinely using quantitative data in his or her work - which is to say that data visualization is a tool that almost every worker needs today. One of the critical tools for data visualization today is the R statistical programming language. Especially in conjunction with the tidyverse software packages, R has become an extremely powerful and flexible platform for making figures, tables, and reproducible reports. However, R can be intimidating for first time users, and there are so many resources online that it can be difficult to sort through without guidance.

TOP REVIEWS FROM DATA VISUALIZATION CAPSTONE
Excellent course! Great overview of packages and techiniques for making visualizations using R.
A challenging test of hablities, requires some data wrangling and R programming beyond the basics. The visualizations produced are inspiring.
Very excellent course if you want to know everything about data visualization
This entire course (specialization) is excellent. The skills learnt from the specialization are quite useful in real work. Program materials are well structured. Thumbs up.
