Good course for exercise R programming, data analysis and communication skills.
Very practical overview of the field. Does require knowledge of R to do 2 simple projects if you take it for credit.
Exercises and lectures were hands-on and informative. I enjoyed the practical advice on data science as a profession.
A great introduction to Data Science, with plenty of practical assignments that are flexible enough to explore our own questions of interest.
