Great intro. Having no coding background, this was still a good blend of being shown the basics but still having to figure out a few tiny things on my own.

The instructor taught each and everything in such a simple manner that people with no background in programming would also understand the concepts easily.

Excellent Course with simple and informative materials

the educational process very helpful and the approach to build the knowledge and skill is remarkable

I think it is a good introduction to the data science specialization. It made me understand a sufficient concept about the courses of this specialization.

It is a simple and good course; starting from the tools you require, going through the installation , githhub and other basic items required to progress t

It's a good introductory course to get those who are unfamiliar with this topic and type of learning environment acclimated with the necessary skill sets.

informative and detailed.explained simply and efficiently by the lecturer.for someone with bad learning difficulties it was easy to follow and understand

A wonderful course to get you started on getting the basic tools and packages of R installed on your PC. Highly recommended for first time learners of R.

Love the exposure to Command Line Interface (CLI), Git, Gitbash and R. Will recommend it to anyone that wants a career in any computer/mathematics field.

Great and helpful course to get started with R programming. Highly recommended for someone wanting to get in to R and understand how the language works,

I found this course to be very useful in shaping my analytics career. Many thanks to coursera for provinding me the financial aid to pursue this course.

Very nice to receive such an in-depth overview of the entire course before starting. Also: great instructions on how to get help, I'm sure I'll need it!

Includes very basic stuff like setting up a github account, installing software etc: so I guess that's great if thats' not something you've done a lot.

Excellent instruction, step by step coverage of topic in easy to understand terms. Support study material is very good and useful for quick reference.

Wonderful tools were taught. Good course. The presentation of the tools was appropriate to get started quickly with these tools. Thank you Instructors.

Brilliant lecture! After this I have got a general idea about what I need to learn to become a data analyst. And the lecture's quality is pretty high.

An excellent introduction to Data Science. A must to all newbies - the course is engaging and full of real examples. The readings are a must, as well!

Really good, with basis for the next steps in statistics. For me the most interesting thing is the Github software and it functions and possibilities.

A good intro course - however, it's up to one's own initiative to work independently in order to test out what you've learned from the video lectures.

I have read the books, they are free and very informative.

Just 40mins in Coursera are equal to more than 5 hours (2 classes) in "brick-mortar" class.

A great introductory course that requires no prior knowledge is fully in video format and lets you get an overview of what data science is all about.

The course is very usefull, making clear the principles of data science, and your basic tools. Instructors are also very clear in their explanations.

I give 5 stars to the course because it offers different perspective to my current job and I'm looking forward to learn more to the upcoming modules.

I have never learned programming and totally new to this field. However, this course really served its purpose of teaching me the data science tools.

Great course as it shows you the basics of what the Data Scientist needs. It is easily understood and you can review lessons after you have taken it.
