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!

Excellent course with lucid explaination. The way instructor covers the course makes you fall in love with R. All the topics are covered beautifully. Thank coursera and Google for this awesome course.

The course was rather average in my judgement. It was to foucsed on defentions and not enough on the data syntax.

Also the course did not to a good job on layering the learning on top of which was learned in the past videos. P.S please a little less P.C culture.

I was not a fan of this instruction on this course topic compared to the other topics. I found it very difficult to follow along and could have used more hands on instruction on the basics instead of jumping around to other topics.

Wery small amount of tasks. The task which are given are very simple like copy code from here and paste here. Some important analytics concepts like standard deviation or mean are not explained properly

This course needs work. There's missing files, the video often moves too fast, functions and syntax in lines of code without explanation as to what their significance is or when they should be used

I feel the excercises are too easy for you to really get the knowledge to stick. I would prefer ot have coding assigments more similar to the questions from they have for the course wrap up.

It was a very hard and complicated course with lots of errors but by God's grace, I made it. I need to exercise and learn more about R Programming.

Thank you

Hits the ground running with R. Running very fast. Almost seemed to be skipping important steps, and/or not spending enough time on mechanics

R programming is one of the most complicated platform in data analytics ever. Sharp mind and focus is required for practicing tools in it.

inbeded r code doesn;t work in quiz, need to go download data and import to r to work out.

This is NOT Google's fault. But the forum blew up because of Coursera's decision to stagger start times for the course. I am trying to fast track this, and the fact that I have to wait now is unbelievable. There was NO warning, no mention that this would happen - it was just imposed on us arbitrarily.

Why this is a bad policy is because most don't complete purely self directed courses. Completion of these courses is largely determined by a participants' levels of motivation. Their motivation fluctuates across time.

By restricting when people can progress, this makes it harder for the motivated to complete the course. Sometimes, you get "in the zone" and are able to learn the material quickly thanks to Google's excellent course content. But, this is contingent on the motivated being able to take on more work during periods of high motivation. Blocking access to classes and forcing people to wait for an arbitrary time only serves to frustrate people and hamper the motivated.

Sorry Google, this class is great but this BS policy is horrible!

I thought this course was pretty good in the beginning. However, turns out the cloud based platform they teach you on has a time limit. So, after starting my capstone project using R, I was cut off from using it. I tried to move to the desktop version of R and it is nothing like the cloud based platform. I feel like I learned nothing and would not be able to tell an employer that I know how to use R.

This was very poorly instructed. I don’t know how to write code in R. It was never actually explained. She quickly typed her code and said “run it… there you go.” And, actually writing the code were the questions I got wrong on the course challenge.

I feel like all the other courses in this program were easy to follow and learn, however this course just jumped right into R and I found it extremely hard to understand.

Teaching the R language has been really poor. For someone new to the language, the tutor just skips through many concepts , which makes things pretty confusing.

There were serious issues with the audios in videos about which numerous complaints were made but to no avail. Pretty ridiculous from coursera.

As someone that has used R in the past, this is probably the worst way to try to teach someone R. To make matters worse, this is paid content.

If your intention is to learn R learn it somewhere else. Only completed this course to complete my Google DA certificate
