A detailed explanation of installing R and setting up the environment.. A perfect start and the foundation to enter to the world of data science.

The course provided me with a better view about data science and I cam to know what are the tools and concepts which a data scientist deals with.

I learned a lot about Data Science and what could be expected by potential employers. It was very interesting. I look forward to the next course.

Great tool to break down the different skills needed to become a Data Scientists without using complex technical terminology. Highly recommended.

Like it very much, getting all the tools needed for the next part of the course and getting a sort of background or introduction to data science!

It's a very good course for beginners. If you already hace R and gihub it may be a little boring, but remembering the basics is never a bad idea.

The course is detailed and informative enough to give one with minimal background in data science an adequate appreciation of the subject matter

Good exercise to get working environment set up and learn more about what data science is (asking the right questions) and what it isn't (magic)

This was such an explanatory step by step course. So well arranged with even a bit of humor. Thank you for making this available for many of us.

Ainda não tinha feito nenhum curso nesse tipo de plataforma e posso dizer que foi ótimo, o método e a flexibilidade da plataforma são perfeitos.

This is a very comprehensive course which lets you set up fundamental concept of data science before just running into any programming language.

Very good for the basics of data science. If you have no idea where to start, or what tools you need to use, this is the perfect course for you.

This was a great course!

The beginning of the course was a little heavily focused to the rest of the specialization, but otherwise it was great!

Great course, maybe sometimes might be difficult due to the synchronization of Git and GitHub, but it is a nice first approach to those topics.

All topics were discussed even if the videos are automated. I will recommend this to my friends who are also interested in this specialization

Good course! No previous knowledge required, concepts and info are taught with an easy to learn approach. Exited to move on to the next course!

It was great week of learning the introduction of R language which provided me with productive information on effective using of R studio menu.

Perfectly walked though, easy-to-follow, but most importantly - gave exactly what it promised: a great foundation for this certificate program.

This was a great introduction to the tools of the data science trade. If you are looking to get your feet wet, this is the perfect opportunity.

Was a good intro to Git & Github version control through CLI. I had a faint knowledge of R, which I suppose will improve in subsequent courses.

Great course to start Data Science journey. Students must prepare to find the background knowledge which are often partly covered in the class.

This was my first Coursera course. I am really impressed by the way the training has been conducted. I will recommend this to my peers. Thanks!

Extremely useful, well put together, fantastic professors and the course started helping me with real world applications within the first week!

Good encouraging start for a new comer to Data Science but also Coursera. The course material was specific and all topics explained thoroughly.

I enjoyed learning this course.The deadlines are perfect and the course is also limited to week.Thank you to the team JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
