Very Good course. I was pretty much satisfied. R-lab can be improved and better explanations to help us on the test could have been given (after not passing the first time, for example).

I recommend this course to students with no background statistic knowledge, especially art students like me. The pictures with teachers's explaination make it easy and to understand!

Course material is not enough, you need to also refer at least one reference book as well.

good information but the coding is far too difficult for a class of this level

Requires a working knowledge of R. Also not exactly an introductory course.

The course is good because it collects pieces of information together if you have studied something before. But I went through it for a very long time (relative to other specialization courses) and lost motivation several times, had to take breaks. Some topics are not described in such detail and with incomprehensible examples, which is why it is go difficult to solve problems. Tasks with R are generally difficult - but not because it's code (i'm good with it) – most often tasks were not related to lectures in the subject, and often instead of using functions and other convenient methods in R, you had to solve everything manually, simply substituting the numbers in the formula. But what's the point then in the code?
I would also like to draw attention to the fact that it’s very difficult to pass tests, sometimes the question and answer options are ambiguous, or it seems that there can be more than one answer.
Also important is the fact that the curators do not answer questions at all on the forum, I met questions written six months or a few months ago - and they were unanswered. How so?
In general, I am glad that I took this course, but I can’t say that it practically helped me. You will have to watch other courses to fill in the gaps and understand what was not explained here.
