video lectures were good but the final project at the end was too loosely structured, and depended on you to go learn many features of ggplot on your own

Nice, but missing a lot of features for those who selected Audit Track. Due to missing excercises, the course without quizes is of very limited value.

Final Lab project demands far more knowledge of R tool that was taught during the course, it will be really difficult for me to comply with it.

I expected more programming with R and less theory. Mainly because I already knew the theory and just wanted to learn how to apply this in R.

The course is manageable apart from the final project which is significantly harder compared to the earlier assignments.

Nice course.

But the week 5 project is a little vague. It would be beter if we had a lab assignment instead.

I found using Datacamp for assignment is confusing. Instruction is not very clear

Interesting course but I had a lot of difficulty with the final project.

A good introduction to some basic stats, a mediocre introduction to R

The final project should have an instructional video.

stats instruction is good but the R part is weak

I felt like I didn't have enough skills in R.

The week 5 is very hard to accomplish.

Don’t like the last section

disappointing final test

its perfect for start

Good for a beginner.

The course instructor is EXCELLENT! She does a fabulous job of explaining everything thoroughly and uses good examples to do so. She makes understanding probability and data easy.

I rated the course low because of the instruction in R and required use of R. I wanted to learn R's basic commands but this was almost impossible. The instruction we received in the course with respect to coding in R was entirely insufficient to be able to complete the extremely long final project (the supposed two-hour project took me 13 hours). The coding no longer works (R code changed since the videos were made). Also the final project data set was too large to be used in the workspace provided by Coursera, and crashed my computer every time I tried to use it. Filtering and selecting did not work to limit the data set either, as both those functions caused R to shut itself down. I planned to continue on for more of this series because the instructor is so great, but I cannot deal with R so will not be continuing.

I honestly can't recommend this course. The coverage of statistics was fine, and the labs were sufficiently clear, but the final project suffers exactly the same critical flaw as so many other online courses: after a limited exposure to a tool, the student is expected to use that tool in a context that is so different that the original classes are all but useless. In this case, where RStudio worked flawlessly and effortlessly on clean data, the final project doesn't use clean data.

If your goal is to learn statistics without a particular software package, look elsewhere.

If your goal is to learn R & RStudio, I'd have to suggest a more rigorous, step-by-step approach.

I reviewed many concept which I am grateful for, but several thing need to get better. First, all over the course I was waiting to hear about p-values more, as was promised first time but got nothing more on the videos. Second, many question were asked on exam about the material in the book that were supposed to be optional. Third, final projects includes a huge data file which my laptop suffered loading in RStudio every time. If the it is meant to evaluate the students knowledge, a much smaller data would be enough as well. by the way, I appreciate your endeavor.

Content is not bad. However, peer review system for final project is not great. I had to wait for other students to review mine and wait for other students to submit theirs. How long this is takes is largely dependent on how many students are currently taking the course (which was not enough and so I had to wait). This kind of system for marking should not be done for online courses where you cannot guarantee there are enough users always taking it at the same time. Especially when there are paying users that may have to pay an extra month whilst waiting.

It is a basic level course and I was expecting I will be taught how to use R studio or basic R functions. But instead , difficult R exercises were assigned without prior knowledge/teachings of R. I had to struggle a lot in completing the assignments.

regular course content was fine for a refresher. what I really wanted was the intro to R. the lab, however, was the WORST. I ended up going to YouTube to figure out half the stuff I needed to do. Why am I paying for that? I was really poorly done.

Statistics part is fair enough, but R part is absolutely not.

Giving the document of R does not mean teach you. You even have to make a difficult R project in the end of the course, but without any tutorial or example to make so.

The course materials (book & lectures) are clear enough, but the introduction to and support for using R/RStudio is completely lacking. Unless you already know R/RStudio, steer clear of this course and find another.
