Very good for the basics of data science. If you have no idea where to start, or what tools you need to use, this is the perfect course for you.

This was a great course!

The beginning of the course was a little heavily focused to the rest of the specialization, but otherwise it was great!

Great course, maybe sometimes might be difficult due to the synchronization of Git and GitHub, but it is a nice first approach to those topics.

All topics were discussed even if the videos are automated. I will recommend this to my friends who are also interested in this specialization

Good course! No previous knowledge required, concepts and info are taught with an easy to learn approach. Exited to move on to the next course!

It was great week of learning the introduction of R language which provided me with productive information on effective using of R studio menu.

Perfectly walked though, easy-to-follow, but most importantly - gave exactly what it promised: a great foundation for this certificate program.

This was a great introduction to the tools of the data science trade. If you are looking to get your feet wet, this is the perfect opportunity.

Was a good intro to Git & Github version control through CLI. I had a faint knowledge of R, which I suppose will improve in subsequent courses.

Great course to start Data Science journey. Students must prepare to find the background knowledge which are often partly covered in the class.

This was my first Coursera course. I am really impressed by the way the training has been conducted. I will recommend this to my peers. Thanks!

Extremely useful, well put together, fantastic professors and the course started helping me with real world applications within the first week!

Good encouraging start for a new comer to Data Science but also Coursera. The course material was specific and all topics explained thoroughly.

I enjoyed learning this course.The deadlines are perfect and the course is also limited to week.Thank you to the team JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY

I like the step-by-step processes in each lesson. I never thought I'd be able to understand this stuff, but surprisingly, I kinda get it. WOW!

This is a world-class certification and I have gained a lot, I appreciate the entire team especially my Professors, more power to your elbows.

Great course for somebody that is a beginner! I am looking forward to continuing with the second course of the Specialization in Data Science!

An elegant course that will help you set up your computer and GitHub repo so you are ready for the next adventures in this data science track.

Very helpful, though it requires some persistence and a curious heart to learn this (at least for me). It's like a completely different world!

Muy didáctico! Para los que tienen miedo de iniciarlo por no saber programación, aprenderán lo necesario para seguir el curso sin dificultad!

System setup is very fundamental for fruitful learning, This course is very useful to get familiar with all the tools used by Data Scientists

This is a great course for a beginner in R programming and RStudio. It helps to understand usage of Rstudio and GitHub and is well explained.

This course is really helpful to start data science as a beginner . It helped me a lot knowing such important things. Thanks to the authority

Anyone who is interested in Data Science and want to start from basics this is the best MOOC from John Hopkins University to getting stated.

From the course, I have learned how to use Git, RStudio and R together. It is a lot of fun in learning. Thanks for the teachers and coursera.
