It was really insightful, coming from knowing almost nothing about statistics or experimental design, it was easy to understand while not feeling shallow. Just the right amount of information density.

As a business student from Bangladesh who is aspiring to be a data analyst in near future, I love this course very much. The quizzes and assessments were the places to check how much I exactly learnt.

If you are doing this for certification then go ahead, but if your intention is to learn then this is not a good course. Its absolutely basic and most stuff you can find online without spending any money. Wouldn't recommend.

A lot of common information, no real examples. may be OK os introdaction, but for scilled student useless. Bunch of very short videos — I'd prefer to see it as a text tutorial

Too basic content.
I have not learned anything with this course (installing R and RStudio should not be part of exercises or lectures).
I hope R programming course will be better

There is imply not much substance here. Everything here can honestly be integrated into other courses or offered as a free overview course of what data science is.

This course is more of an overview of what is to come. A lot of what is presented here could just be in the format of a word or PDF with a series of links.

It does nothing better than just a PDF file... I would appreciate if they actually provide a PDF file, so everything is integrated and no loading time.

Not really enough content to be a course in it's own right, should be additional material as is useful, but definitely not a requirement.

It is really basic course, I expected much more even if this is offered only for $29.. (the cheapest course in the specialisation)

Completely useless. Just a number of boring videos of what you may possibly learn in Data Science Specialization.

I've taken a class in R. Half the quiz answers are wrong and is really overall pointless as a course.

The course contains almost no valuable information. It is not required to spend 4 weeks for it.

It's a course which is designed to preview the other courses. It could easily be eliminated

It's boring. The robot's voice is annoying that's why I can't focus on the lesson per se.

Too compact and short. Should be integrated to other courses.
