The 2 first week were nice, the 3rd was good enough, the directions were not very clear and I had to spend certain time to find out what and how I had to do, the 4th week was awful, the directions were not friendly and I spent too much time trying to make RMarkdown work and doing the excercises. However I finally could complete it, I think the course meet the objective as an introduction course, the topic is complex but very interesting. Bigquery and RMarkdown access provided for this course was very useful and it was a very good experience.

very good course.Introduce me to EHR. Refresh on my SQL. And nice programming enviormnemt. Week 4 video could be more. R part is a bit weak.

In general, a good introductory course to the topic "clinical data" itself, BUT in particular Week 4 was very disappointing to me: An R-One-Pager has been provided which should be the basis for all R exercises. Coursera, are you serious? I started with some R knowledge basis but in the end, I refreshed my R skills using free channels like Youtube and StackOverflow Why it was not as structured as the SQL part?

I can not recommend this course to somebody with no (R) coding experience.

** Two Stars for the first 3 weeks **

The most disappointing part was actually the one supposed to be the most important thing i.e. Week 4. More basic training should have been given about how and when to use R for data science application, What is the point of training course, when we ourselves have to figure out how to code with the help of one-page documentation (which did not have an organized structure)

I really enjoyed this course very much. I'm hoping completing the Clinical Data Science Specialty will give me enough experience with medical data so that I can get a job as a Medical Data Analyst or Data Warehouse/ETL developer for a medical company.

The class teaches a great combination of industry clinical data models concepts and sample data sets, access to cloud-based Bigquery from Google and RStudio, progressive coding exercises bringing it all together.

Easy to understand, very professional and studying material is clear and relevant. I definitely recommend this course to jump into the clinical and healthcare data science world.

Great introduction to fundamental concepts. May be challenging for those without any prior experience in SQL or R.

Before i started this course , i had no idea about SQL . this course introduced me to SQL, i did further research and learning on SQL, I was excited about it because of how interesting it is.

Laura the Tutor is so amazing and its very easy to follow her.

the only thing about this course content that i wish for was that if the SQL programming language part could be taught more. i had to use another platform to learn more about it. that is how i was able to finish most of assessment 3 and 4. but in all it is a great course and has opened up so many opportunities for me

Great introduction to the clinical data science domain and toolsets

When I started the course I was in impression that this would be like another run of the mill kind but after going through the modules, my perception got changed. I really picked up many terms and understood how data science techniques operate in Clinical domain. Certainly this course makes you to learn many new concepts, make you actually work on them. Planning to complete the remaining modules

Very well organized! Explanations are good and detailed enough, most examples are helpful for understanding important concepts and acquiring essential skills and knowledge. I would strongly recommend this lecture to ones who are not in the medical/healthcare field, but need to work on clinical data. Thank you!

Great course! This course covers so much content in a condensed format without overwhelming the student. Great foundation for clinical data science. I'm looking forward to taking the subsequent courses!

One great course I will recommend to people. Had the chance to learn so much, especially about the MIMIC III dataset as I am using it for a project in AI. Thank you for this course.

I encourage people to take this course.

its real time and it equips with real skill.

the instructor is also so much great and into the point.

The material is presented very clearly, and exercises are easy to understand and complete but really test one's knowledge of the material.

The first 2 weeks were informative, challenging, and something beyond my scope for which I was excited to learn. The 3rd and 4th weeks were promoted as applying SQL & R to what basics we have learned. Regrettably for the same, as a visual learner reading the given material did not help much, my background in C.S. helped me better understand SQL, however, that was not the case for R. I had no prior knowledge of R and I was hoping to be taught at least the basics but what was given was one long document which was troublesome to understand. Comparatively, SQL was taught more than R, and it would seem the course providers did not want to spend time and energy on R. Nonetheless, I am grateful to have learned something different and yet useful to my background, will be doing the next course in the specialization next.

Posit Workbench License Expired_R Studio inaccessible. I am not able to perform the exercises, and practice the course as the Posit Workbench License Expired. Please look into this. If unresolvable, kindly notify at the least.

I cannot access the database on google big query as it no longer exist in the new window format. Total waste of time taking this course as I cannot go forward anymore
