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.

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.

Some of the videos which had the screenshots were not clearly visible. Also the sequencing of the course can be improved.

This is a great way to start learning R. Of course, it should not be taken as a stand-alone course as it is quite basic.

Kind of boring, but a useful, "spoon-fed" introduction to data science, GITHUB, and R, and connecting the two platforms.
