TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO CLINICAL DATA SCIENCE
The course is great overall. But when it comes to teaching SQL and R, there is too much to learn with just a few explanation. It is not easy for those who do not have background knowledge on those.
I started out without any idea on how to navigate R Programming and by the end of this course is wasn't such a novice anymore.....
Very nice overview of a very complex topic. Somewhat superficial in some areas, but this is an introduction class and covered everything to an acceptable degree. A very intimidating topic.
Great course to get started into data science, clear cut explanations by Laura Wiley and assignments that make sense. Thank you!
