Data Science: R Basics

I just finished the course. I believe it provides a fairly simple introduction to R programming. The course is well structured, video lectures are good. The fact that key points are written under the video is quite helpful if you need a quick reminder when working on the assignments.

I did not think the course was particularly hard. If you have some programming experience you will certainly face no problems.

The data champ platform and videos do not mesh well. The lessons teach you operations but I left the course with a shaky understanding. Some assignments are unclear and some concepts are glossed over.

The course explains the basics very well. The exercises are useful, but the instructions on Datacamp are sometimes not clear.

Currently enrolled in the Harvard program. As someone who has taken a ton of data science courses online, the Harvard courses are by far the poorest in terms of how they're designed. The professor skips a TON of material and explains some topics very badly.

The course content was too poor. Though it is a basic course, the content could have easy included more- could have included plots, loops, etc... The provider is perfect and the instructor was fine. But the presentation of the lesson videos was not impressive, and attractive.

The video lectures are easily understandable, the assignments are not very difficult but they are good for practicing. I think I got basics and also I got so intrested in R as to I'm looking for courses to learn more of it. So I can recommend this course to any beginners.

Data Science: R Basics is an excellent first course for complete beginners to start their journey with R programming and data science. This course should also prove useful to those who might already know how to program in another language, but would like to learn R. My only real complaint is that the data used throughout the course and its assignments is related to murders in the U.S. which is a bit of a morbid subject for what is meant to be a light and highly accessible introductory course.

I'd recommend it to any beginner who wants to grasp a broad concept and applicability of R language, though the concepts don't go very deep in general.

Perfect! I loved the course and I'm going to complete the whole Harvard's Data Science program (9 courses ahead). I liked the instructor, the subject is perfectly clarified and the videos are engaging. The course is very concise - no chance to get bored. Perfect solution for everyone who looks for R fundamentals and basic statistics course in one place.

A really good introduction to R! You'll get to know a great deal in a concise and fun way.

I found it to be an engaging introduction to R. In it base functions and some verbs of the popular R package dplyr were taught. Practice exercises were done in the Datacamp console which I appreciated, especially since I am already familiar with it. The professor was clear and the lessons were well paced.
