It was really insightful, coming from knowing almost nothing about statistics or experimental design, it was easy to understand while not feeling shallow. Just the right amount of information density.

As a business student from Bangladesh who is aspiring to be a data analyst in near future, I love this course very much. The quizzes and assessments were the places to check how much I exactly learnt.

There is a need for more hands-on practice but, besides this, everything has been interesting and a good course.

Some of the dictation should be changed so that the computer says "for example" instead of "e.g."

Good starter, but could have been Week 1 of a separate class. The entire course took all of 2 hours to complete.

I thought that the course was too simple and basic. I think that it all could have been condensed into 2 weeks.

Great intro to the data science major, needs to be more detailed in my opinion in regards to the git bash part.

I would have liked if the Course content(course 1) was in more depth, but the overall experience was very good.

This course was kind of helpful. I could've used much more practice with importing data into R and with GitHub.

This is a good intro to programming so far. It feels like I'm building a solid base from which to understand R.

Possibly a good introduction to R. Would have liked more R specific material, and maybe less focus on git hub.

It gives you the basics concepts of data science. A bit impersonal the lectures but after a while you adapt.

It was good enough but I think you need to be more clear in terms of Git. I still have some doubts about it.

Fine as a general introduction, but not a lot to it. Good explanations of how to use github and get set up.
