It's the best course I've taken. It has all the basics about machine learning algorithms and more.

great course. could have explained more techniques in caret package with coding examples

Really nice introduction to machine learning in R. You wouldn't want to pack more than this in 4 weeks. Would be interested to see if this course adopts the recipes / parsnip / tidymodels in the future.

It's a mediocre intro to some machine learning tools. I think the course materials could be drastically improved.

Really good exposure to machine learning and builds on the previous course in regression

This is a very good basic course for machine learning. I got the basic ideas and skills for it.

The lecture material is great, but the quiz material is in need of updating. R and it's packages have gone through many updates since the problems were written so it is sometimes difficult to reproduce their results even with running the sample codes given after getting the answer correct.

Excellent course. Shows how simple it is to start running models with machine learning...! Well done
