Very fundamental but also covers essential materials. Friendly level of difficulty which motivates you to learn. Recommend to everyone who is new to Data Science.

Good general overview and introduction to the command line interface, Git and GitHub. The quick overview of types of data science questions was very informative.

Very useful for getting set up for a mostly-newbie. Some things could be updated but some quick Google searches or discussion forum dives solved them all for me.

The course is very clearly structured, and it provided an excellent start into the courses that follow within the specialization. Love the automated videos, too!

thanks for this course it is a good step for the start from scratch move and it will help to keep going after this start throw R Language and Data science track.

Very insightful and a good place to start by having an understanding of the tools involved in Data Science, looking forward to the next step which is learning R.

Very well narrated with needed information. Here and there some 30 sec video is repeated. Otherwise a great course to know whether its what we want to do pursue.

Excelent introduction. I like how you need to explore the content to do the last part (pushing into GitHub). Great illustration on how to learn about these tools

first course in coursera.org, start my data scientist way.

You can learn to prepare the basic toolbox for the further data science explore.

Come on. Learn with us

Ha sido maravillo, se abarcan aspectos desde lo mas básico y se avanza de forma concreta evidenciando las habilidades que se como estudiante se van adquiriendo.

This course is very essential for those students who think that where we start to be a data scientist in future. This course is great for start in data science.

The course is smooth and exciting and the lecturers know what they are doing very well , I highly recommend this course for everybody interested in Data Science

I fell very good with this training in fact it is very well explained an in a way a person like me ( non English native language ) easy to catch the instruction

Course provides amazing understanding of data and how it works in real world and what importance it has in core areas like healthcare and many other businesses.

This was a great starter for me. I have very little experience with Data Science, especially the practical work. This provided the foundation I was looking for.

Este curso es la base para un mejor manejo de R, RStudio y de sistemas de control versiones como GitHub. Esencial si se busca entrar en el mundo del big data.

Un buen curso básico para entrar al mundo de la programación. Te enseñan a usar la plataforma de GitHub, descargar R y usar comandos en la Terminal de una Mac.

Its level of difficulty and simplicity is extraordinary well balanced. Totally recommend this course and probably will recommend the whole especialisation too!

Good as a first course. Breaks up the content so that you can understand straight out of the gate if you will have an issue with the tools and software or not.

Interesting and straightforward introduction to main concepts of data science. Gives comprehensive outlook on complexity of working with data and analyzing it.

Best course for beginners, Recommend it to everyone. Thanks a lot for the efforts of the mentors that they put in to create this great course for introduction.

Simple straight forward. It did push me enough to be interesting but not enough to make me give up because it was over my head. Nice step-by-step instructions.

This was a great introduction to data science. It provides an overview of the science in general, and the course provides all the tools needed to move forward.

Excellent course, well organized and very pedagogic. Requires homework and motivation, but really adapted to someone not in the field, thanks to the teachers !

Great course, it was very clear and can be understood easily. It provides a great base for starting an intro to the field of data science. It helped me a lot.
