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....

T​ough stuff! Trying to remember the correct syntax for filtering was stressful but I'm so grateful to learn R. Thank you for this introduction. The videos were good but the hands-on really helped me.

Great introduction to what you can achieve using R. The course material is logical and well though out and the provided links to additional resources are useful to supplement your learning further.

Great course and perfect pace for beginning, explain things in a detailed way - if you already have some knowledge about R, the pace of this course might be a bit slow.

This course was a detailed introduction to R programming basics. I need to learn and practice more on my own.

This was really tough - I had to consistently use AI across my feedback to support why my answers weren't correct. Also, while small, I noticed that one of my code chunks would not work. I had to use r studio, copy it from there and then paste it - and it worked. Very strange, but occurred a couple times. But, I do want to say that this was a very new subject for me, and I'm only familiar with PowerQuery in the realm of understanding how formulas/code works and reads. So it was probably a bit of patience that I was lacking - otherwise, this has been a great learning curve and experience. Thanks google.

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.

I really enjoyed the course and I don't have any background about data analysis, but this helped me a lot especially because I struggled with excel but now I excel on it. The only negative thing that I noticed is that it is too congested which leads to forgetting other material or focusing on the other material and neglecting other ones. Maybe if you try to remove some content that are not that necessary that will be perfect.

The course its a good review of useful R packages (tidyverse, ggplot,etc), but its too superficial. Although it has a lot of extra info and resources so you can improve on your own. It lacks a final practical project that challenges the knowledge acquired. I expected a certificate by the end of the course, but it seems you have to end the other 7 to have it.

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...)
