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.....

I was able to learn and practice SQL and R using Google BigQuery on Google Cloud, and used real-world clinical database.
