About the Course

This course is the seventh course in the Google Data Analytics Certificate. In this course, you’ll learn about the programming language known as R. You’ll find out how to use RStudio, the environment that allows you to work with R, and the software applications and tools that are unique to R, such as R packages. You’ll discover how R lets you clean, organize, analyze, visualize, and report data in new and more powerful ways. Current Google data analysts will continue to instruct and provide you with hands-on ways to accomplish common data analyst tasks with the best tools and resources. Learners who complete this certificate program will be equipped to apply for introductory-level jobs as data analysts. No previous experience is necessary. By the end of this course, learners will: - Examine the benefits of using the R programming language. - Discover how to use RStudio to apply R to your analysis. - Explore the fundamental concepts associated with programming in R. - Understand the contents and components of R packages including the Tidyverse package. - Gain an understanding of dataframes and their use in R. - Discover the options for generating visualizations in R. - Learn about R Markdown for documenting R programming....

Carrie's enthusiam for R was contagious. She provides clear and easy to understand explanations, and she is pleasant to listen to. It was easy to follow up. I am myself an R enthusiast now. Thank you!

I didn't find the discussion parts helpful at all. The questions were not interesting or inspiring and it seems noone has taken them seriously anyway (people either answered with blanks only, or with text that was clearly written by ChatGPT). Additionally there were too many topics that were introduced and explained multiple times (instead of using the time to go more into depth). Still: the course is a decent introduction into R. I like the cloud environment, the tests were okay and the exercises too.

The instructor explained R programming concepts clearly and was very convincing. The presentation of the material had a natural flow. However, although this was a beginner course, I would have expected more detail on data cleaning, for example, what to do with missing values beyond excluding them in any analysis or visualization.

It's a great course for beginners. However, the quizzes are to easy to solve. But for a general overview of what you can do with R and acquire basic R programming skills this is a great cours to complete.

I was rather torn on whether to rate this course as 3/5 or 4/5. Large portions of it were quite informative and helpful. At the same time, some very important aspects of R were either glossed over or not well-explained (pipes, I'm looking at you), and later portions of the course felt as if someone had taken the correct order of lessons and randomly jumbled them. Earlier lessons would ask questions that I didn't know the answer to, and then I would find the answer two or three lessons later, in the exact format that had been asked.

Additionally, this course could have benefitted from significantly more hands-on, follow-the-presenter material, as well as clear indications of when we would need to have a file (for example) saved from an earlier lesson in order to use in a later lesson. This happened several times, and I was usually left in the cold without anything to use to follow along. The presenter also sometimes skipped steps in her explanation, leaving me uncertain how to replicate the results she got.

So, I learned a fair bit about how to get started in R, but the course certainly could have been better put-together. 3/5 stars.

Interesting course but when introducing a new language (R) with new suite to work with (RStudio), I would like more detailed samples (real examples, not just an oral explanation.. in a simlar way R markdown helps you being in contact with the code through code chunk),

I would start explaining all diffrerent areas in Rstudio, what's different in the upper left and bottom left panels?

I also realize about an example, after explaining best practices to nest instructions writing them in the next line, but sample code was using nested code in the same row (can be really misleading when you are being introduced to that best practices...)

I completed the specialization (8 courses). You may find the exams in Course 7 somewhat hard. Coursera Support is a horror where you never get the same answer twice and never know what is true.

I give the whole spec. 2 stars. Few entry-level jobs in Consortium, misleading marketing (0 to $67k in 6 months), broken content (Capstone files are too large for spreadsheets) and obnoxious Coursera support.

Needed more challenging excercises with more extensive coding that required greater depth of understanding.

This course is very basic in nature .I recommend their should be more on R programming.

Most exercises the only think we have to do is copy and past , we dont have space to think or try in our way and learn by doing, usully people learn of their mistake. Copy and past is not really usfull for learning we don't realize that if we use capital letter will lead to an error or many other thinks we must pay attention to. I think giving exercis and let us doing them is the best way of learning, maybe you can put the correct sintax at the end of the excercie in case we can't do it but at least have de oportunity to try.

During the entire course, I kept getting error messages when I was trying to run the code chunks in the exercise files, and one of the last videos was messed up. Also, the course was not well organized. I would not recommend this course.

Not Best, I really go through youtube videos for all the coding parts but reading and activity are very helpful.

To learn a new language, much more practice and less videos are necessary.

ขอเขียนเป็นภาษาไทยนะ เพราะเชื่อว่าองค์กรณ์สุดล้ำค่าของโลกอย่าง Google น่าจะแปลภาษาไทยได้ไม่ยาก คอร์สนี้มันไม่ไหวอะ เหมือนจะปูพื้นแต่เวลาออกข้อสอบยากไป ไม่มีตัวอย่างอะไรเลย ละคอร์สมันจ่อมมาก ละทีร่สำคัญ มีตั้ง5week กว่าจะปั่นให้จบ รู้ใช่ไหมว่าทาง Cousera เขาให้เวลาแค่เดือนเดียว ถ้าไม่ทันต้่ิองจ่ายเพิ่ม1200 บาท มันไม่เหมาะกับคนที่ด้อยโอกาสทางการศึกษาอย่างฉันเลยปัดโถ่ถัง
