About the Course

Nearly every aspect of business is affected by data analytics. For businesses to capitalize on data analytics, they need leaders who understand the business analytic workflow. This course addresses the human skills gap by providing a foundational set of data processing skills that can be applied to many business settings. In this course you will use a data analytic language, R, to efficiently prepare business data for analytic tools such as algorithms and visualizations. Cleaning, transforming, aggregating, and reshaping data is a critical, but inconspicuous step in the business analytic workflow. As you learn how to use R to prepare data for analysis you will gain experience using RStudio, a powerful integrated development environment (IDE), that has many built-in features that simplify coding with R. As you learn about the business analytic workflow you will also consider the interplay between business principles and data analytics. Specifically, you will explore how delegation, control, and feasibility influence the way in which data is processed. You will also be introduced to examples of business problems that can be solved with data automation and analytics, and methods for communicating data analytic results that do not require copying and pasting from one platform to another....

Excellent challenging course. Tough to crack assignments and assessments without hands-on knowledge.

Excellent content for someone with no background in R. The course is thoughtfully designed and well presented. I am willing to ignore a couple of minor issues I noticed.

The lectures are good, but the peer review process is horrible. The actual assignment is ok, but the reviewing part is a joke. There are a ton of "please review my submission" posts. When I try to review submissions myself I am directed to a project that isn't even the same. The feedback stops at the lectures. There is occasional help from fellow learners but nothing from staff. I was looking forward to completing this whole specialization but given the lack of support to even be able get us the correct info on assignments or help, I can't recommend continuing.

I found the class focused only on coding. Assignment were different than notes and support from the teacher and TAs was limited.

Very poor content overall - highly encourage you to look elsewhere, like DataCamp, over using this
