Introduction to R for Data Science

This course is actually more like half a course, but it does that half extremely well. This class will give you solid foundations in the basic data structures of R, and it does so very efficiently and very well - just a few minutes of lectures and exercises and you've learnt what is needed - demonstrating the effectiveness of Datacamp's platform. There is no coverage on control flow, functions, or vectorized operations, which is needed for an actual working knowledge of R.

This is a very useful introduction to R. I was taking the DAT203X - Data Science and they suggested to take an R or Python to follow along better. It was well worth it. You get a basic understanding of data structures, operators, and basic graphing.

A good course overall especially for novices. Material is very basic and covers only simplest data-structures and graphics. Course designed for those who can not program at all.

Only because of one ambiguous assignment I am not giving it 5 stars but I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to start R programming.

It is the best course for non-programmers who are wishing to start their Data Science carrier using R Programming language as a tool. I have done similar courses in another well know online source, but that one forcing students to use from begging tools like Git Bash and Git.

The content was good I think but it's sad to see that you can only get access to the exercices if you pay for it. I am a student myself, so I'm not able to afford the full version

Good way to get started! Lot of great examples, and the data camp platform that's particularly good for self-study and independent learners.

The course was good but I don't feel satisfied. First problem: I had too short time to complete the course. It should be much longer, like 1-2 months. Because of the limited time I hadn't time to practice and understand the basics. Second problem: sometimes I had impression that in the videos there were basics of the basics, and then in the "practical" part everything was much much more difficult, the commands weren't clear , I didn't understand what to do, and because of the limited time I couldn't explore the tasks.

I consider that the course is widely recommended for people with a desire to learn the basics of R. It is perfectly formulated, structured and explained. The teaching times are optimal. The exercises are excellent for putting knowledge into practice. They really challenge your intellect to solve them. This course is a must.

Overall I found the course very informative for beginners who want to learn and understand the basics of data analytics. The content was excellently delivered.

Excellent program designed to deliver R for the novice. The course material was very good and the instructor was clear and knowledgeable about the subject. The final exam could have been designed more effectively to ensure clarity.

The course is well designed and structured in an interesting way, and is a great intro to R. Course content, timescale and layout make it easy to spread out the learning time. Videos are well presented and not too long.
