After trying several courses to get me started with R programming, this one came to the rescue and had all the info I wanted. It also provides a great way to practice through labs and a final project!

I always wanted to learn statistics from scratch, but I never had a good university teacher. Here I found a good teacher and also the opportunity to learn whenever I want ( and skipping parts I knew!)

Fantastic course. Both the lessons and materials were very educational. Besides it constitutes a very didactic introduction to ggplot2 and dplyr.

Great introductory course in statistics. The lectures are not about R per se, but you learn R by applying the statistics that you have learned.

Very informative, the project might be a bit difficult for R starters like me since the introduction to R in this class is not very systematic.

Does a good job of covering the basics. In my case, I'm looking for more of a refresher rather than learning the concepts for the first time.

Good course for statistics. However, it would be great if instructor explained some of the R tools used in the labs in her lecture videos.

This was one of the great course available and the first one I have completed.
Thank you mentors for your hard work in making this course.

I think the r part of the course is too hard for the people who do not know r programming. Some videos about using r should be included.

statistics are quite adequately illustrated; however, the R skiils teaching is not efficient. i encounter alot of probelems of graphing.

Very good course. A bit basic for my background, but useful anyway to refresh concepts and look at them from a different point of view.

Cheatsheets should be provided for beginners in using the RStudio. In that way, graphs and plots can be easily understand by the user.

This is a good course for learning basic statistics, and then learning how to use some of those ideas with the R programming language.

The course material covers the concepts of probability quite well. However, the course should go deeper in R programming techniques.

The coursework is manageable and well taught but I think there is a disconnect between the first few weeks and the capstone project.

This course provids a good overview of basic statistic concepts and basic probablyity. Also, the R practice exercises are useful.

The data material choose is not good enough, there various of the problem in the process of draw graph, due to the data quality.

This is a good course to learn the basics of statistics, probability and R. However, it should be more intensive in R coding.

The theoretical part was really very useful, the R sessions could be a bit more descriptive to make the conceptions clearer.

Very good instructor, but not enough tutorial for the application of R studio, especially for those new to the programming.

Most learning is independently to expolring data, and you will bring you own question Using R to find the correlate answer

I love the lab of this course. But I hope there can be one lab teaches us where to start with a data set. like the project.

Love the lecture style and the learning is at the appropriate level for those with an interest but not much prior knowledge

I was able to refresh a lot of things I've learned back in my undergraduate years through this course. I highly recommend.

I think it will be better if you give students more R practical assignment. But overall, very useful and helpful learning!

A very thorough course, it helped me understand much more about statistics and especially how to read and interpret data.
