About the Course

When working in the data science field you will definitely become acquainted with the R language and the role it plays in data analysis. This course introduces you to the basics of the R language such as data types, techniques for manipulation, and how to implement fundamental programming tasks. You will begin the process of understanding common data structures, programming fundamentals and how to manipulate data all with the help of the R programming language. The emphasis in this course is hands-on and practical learning . You will write a simple program using RStudio, manipulate data in a data frame or matrix, and complete a final project as a data analyst using Watson Studio and Jupyter notebooks to acquire and analyze data-driven insights. No prior knowledge of R, or programming is required....

Very good materials, clear and precise. Very useful for anyone with a knowledge of another programming language and very easy to understand for begineers. Highly recommended.

Great content, perfectly structured for the once who already know programmig. Beginers may need to revise/practice more to keep up with the topics.

Great course to learn the basics or R. The labs provided good reinforcement for concepts learned in lessons, but I had hoped for better instructions to install Jupyter Lab (notebook) for the final lab. Having to use Watson for the final lab (ie, setting the account up) didn't work too well.

The course is good for beginner. However, I find the example is too simple and the final project require more example to be refer. As a beginner to R, less example can be difficult for me to code and produce the exact result.

It's a good course. For me the hands-on portion needs to be more me doing versus a written repeat of the video and hitting enter on command. My learning style is needing to do it, in order to truly understand.

It was really fast paced . The video content was understandable and nice but more practice oriented interface along with the video lectures would do the task much better.

I loved to learn R, but as a begginer the classes are a bit fast passed. Although, I loved that I got to apply what I learned in the final project.

Could be better micromanaged for coaxing beginners but it does pack enough practical exercises to familiarize them with R fundamentals.

I have done many MOOCs over the years but doing IBM certification for data analytics is a very different experience on Coursera. This certification is designed and envisioned by those without experience in adult learning/pedagogy/course design. The result is frustration. They may have outsourced different components of courses; someone who wrote the transcripts had nothing to do with those responsible for designing projects and evaluations. Adding more icing on the cake, they have kinda forced learners to use Jupyter for R-related work in Watson Studio, which has been a total pain.

I learned a lot and enjoyed the course for the most part. To improve the course I would include more practice exercise labs(multiple per subject instead of one). Additionally because their was not enough practice, I found the capstone pretty hard(it took me far longer than the time duration listed for the module). If more exercises could be included and the capstone difficulty decreased a little bit I think I would have given this course a 5.

This course is average. I didnt feel that the content equipped me to do the exam confidently, eventhough I made an effort to understand everything and practice.

A lot of information is technically there, but some things like the end of course peer-graded assignment feel disjointed and aren't as clear as they could be.

I had alot of problems with the labs and I encountered questions and things in the labs that wouldn't even be introduced until a few videos later.
