I wouldn't really call this a course, rather it's more like an introduction to the very basic tools of the trade.

Very clear introduction for those unfamiliar with R, RStudio, Git, GitHub and the basics of statistical analysis.

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.
