I loved this course. Initially I thought its very difficult and the course is not thoroughly been explained. However, with time I realized that learning anything new requires some time to get hold of the topic. And this course was the step towards inculcating all the basic aspects of R that one needs to be known. So, I'm very grateful first for the lecturer to come up with this course and who taught us precisely, second to the Coursera for having this course and giving people like us a chance to learn anything and on top of that to get the certificate as well. Thank you so much!

This was excellent! Very wll done.

I have a lot of experience as an analyst and have used a number of different analytical tools and platforms. I think this module could be intimidating for less experienced professionalsl or for analysts who don't want to get in to "programming". I think the course did a lot to alleviate any concerns.

That said, I'd be interested in undertanding how many of those working to achieve the certificate drop out with this course because it is beyond what they "expected".

For myself, I had a passing familiarity with R, but am now a convert.

I found this to be one of the best courses thus far. I thought the course was well structured. The introduction to R set the stage as to why this program is used and what results it will produce. The instructions on how to execute R were very well laid out. I finished this program with a very great understanding of R. I also feel as if I have a strong foundation on how to use this program. I am comparing this course to the courses on learning SQL. I felt when learning SQL we just learned how to write queries instead of first understanding why we use it.

The course covers practical issues instatistical computingwhich includes programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code.

R plays a very important role in Data Science, you will be benefited with following operations in R. You can run your code without any compiler – R is an interpreted language. ... Hence, R is powerful and faster than other languages. Statistical Language – R used in biology, genetics as well as in statistics

I took R about three years ago through UC Berkeley Extension. I expected to complete this course as part of the Google Analytics Certification without many more new things to learn. I was extremely happy to discover new features and techniques specifically aligned with my current work. This course has a good pace, excellent examples, and a resource library that is updated and relevant to today's challenges. I highly recommend this course. The instructor was very good in explaining features and best practices.

Great Intro to using R, RStudio and various common libraries in R. This course is not a deep dive, but instead covers the basics of using the R language, reading in data, doing data cleaning, "tidying", transforming, and finally visualization and reporting. Giving exposure to all these steps, end to end is highly valuable, because a student can complete work from accessing a data source all the way to creating a report. Many helpful links are provided to learn and practice more, which is also very helpful.

This one was really good. It's basic I know but still gave a lot of insight on how to use a superb platform like RStudio for almost anything ranging from "book writing" to complex data visualizations by writing and executing simple codes. I loved this, and didn't want it to end, so I slowed my pace down a bit in this course. Thanks to Carrie! She was a good speaker and covered very important points. I now hope I can find a job where I can use what I learned in this course, and of course, beyond...

It is really difficult to learn specially for those who do not have programming language skills before. But, it is attractive easy to follow and cna be mastered if a significant time and energy is invested on it. The packages do have sample datasets and exploring and working with these datasets can open the door wide and help to break the ice and go forward. There are ample and pertinent R community for help if any kind of problem happens while coding. Generally I found it very very interesting.

Carrie is very good instructor as the beginning of the course I felt disappointed and understand nothing and I thought that R is very complex programming language, but by the end of the course I found it very interesting easy programming language , I recommend it for everyone to learn R and take this course, for me I learned R programming language, R Studio , R Markdown , Making Reports and Visualization using ggplot2, and more that helped me to be high skilled as a future data analyst.

This was truly an amazing course; the instructor was one of the most exceptional ones throughout the course. There was a lot of effort done to help us grasp the R language, be it the graded activities, practice quizzes, or anything else. In other words, this course had everything Course 5 did not have. Where we were barely able to learn about SQL from the course, we were able to grasp a good amount of information on Myriad, and even that sunk in. Kudos to the instructor and team!"

Course 7 (Data Analysis with R Programming) of the Google Data Analytics Program has been a great introduction for me to R. The instructor, Carrie, is very knowledgeable of R and I could tell that she truly likes what R is capable of and was able to share the best things about it. I feel more confident in using R in my future analyses projects and what was imparted in this course and the tons of resources provided will definitely help in me in my future endevours.

I just wanted to express my appreciation for the incredible learning experience I had with the course instructors. Their detailed and step-by-step approach to teaching the material was impressive. The course structure was well-planned, with each lesson building on the previous one, making it easy to follow along and understand. The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and supportive throughout the entire program. Thank you for a fantastic learning journey.

This is my first time taking a programming course and running it to the very end. I love the way Carrie literarily carried me through every step of the way. R programming really helps you clean, organize, manipulate and share your reports with your stakeholders and fellow Data Analysts.

This particular course on R programming will set you on a journey with the right perspective into other programming languages that will support you in your Data journey.

In the beginning I had reservations because of past reviews, but the course gave a good introduction to R and the possibilities it offers. Occasionally the examples shown were not easy to follow, as not all information was presented. But it encuraged to dive into the subject to come to a solution. The readings with the resources mentioned are very good. And I followed the advise to create a notebook. This was very helpful. Thank you.

Buen curso, sin embargo en el examen final hay algunos errores pues no compila los códigos de buena manera,

el curso en general cubre lo necesario para realizar las mismas actividades que se enseñan con SQL y excel, y las gráficas que se pueden generar , es bueno ya sea que sepas algo del R o si eres totalmente nuevo seguro quedaras satisfecho, muestarn las principales librerias para ejectutar analisis de datos lo cual yo no conocía

When I started the course I was very worried about the difficulty of programming, it was a success that Google selected an instructor who was not a nerd, they selected an employee who had learned R from scratch in Google, that gave me the courage not to abandon the course, I thought if she could learn, I could too. The R course is basic, but very well structured and gives the opportunity to continue advancing, I loved the course.

An easy to understand way of introducing a Programming language to a non programmer. The Instructor did a good job of preparing ones mind of the possible fussy time when it seems confusing using R but will be clearer with much practice. I can say for a fact that the Course delivered on point. I just feel like using just R for my analysis, no more excel or SQL. Kudos to the Course instructor and those who created it.

R Language was interesting course but definitely challenging. The pass few weeks I have had a lot going on personally (home) and at work. I feel like I slacked a little do to that but I cam back with a vengeance. Even though this was more challenging for me then Tableau I have learned a lot about both R and Tableau and want to learn more as I will never give up. Thanks for the opportunity and I will do it again.

Great intro to R. The hands on activities are fantastic. Some of the material might be a little repitive for some but keep in mind that core concepts are being repeated for retention. Everyone learns differently and there is an ability to read the text in addition to watching the videos for highlights. Again great intro to R, RMD with great basic examples to follow and then use to expand the code, templates etc.

I think this is the best R programming course I have found so far on Coursera. Other courses require you to exert a huge amount of effort to learn something unfamiliar.

The Google Data Analytics R programming course enables you to learn effortlessly. By the time you finish each week's course, you have somehow internalized the content. The videos are well made and the hands on activities are fun and effective.

Good introduction to R programming, for data analyst. Includes the basic filtering and use of ggplot2 to visualize data. Also introduces markdown. Out of all the courses in the Google Data Analyst Certificate, this course is the most technical. The pacing seems to be alittle off, sometimes it is really slow and other times it is rather fast. But could just be me, who already has extensive experience with R.

The structure is easy to follow and understand, gradually from easy to difficult but don't worry, you can do it. Carrie is one of the best instructors ever and I learn lots of things from her, her advice is really useful and powerful that has encouraged me a lot - to keep learning, and finally, I completed this course, that's amazing. Thank you, Carrie, and wishing you good health and happiness always.

I found the course well structured and instructor was great - Carrie. Nice, easy to understand way of teaching, especially difficult for online mode. It was by far the most difficult course of this certification (may be because of coding) but surely it is something one can only master or learn next level by practising again and again. Foundations and basics, with learning materials have been provided.
