I would like to thank Coursera and Johns Hopkins University for the course, I learned new things in the course which I think is the next step which can help me to accomplish my future goals.Thank you.

This course was a good intro especially in setting all the necessary software for future courses. I suggest to read the manuals, books and other readings the profs suggest. The resources are helpful.

If you are doing this for certification then go ahead, but if your intention is to learn then this is not a good course. Its absolutely basic and most stuff you can find online without spending any money. Wouldn't recommend.

A lot of common information, no real examples. may be OK os introdaction, but for scilled student useless. Bunch of very short videos — I'd prefer to see it as a text tutorial

Too basic content.
I have not learned anything with this course (installing R and RStudio should not be part of exercises or lectures).
I hope R programming course will be better

There is imply not much substance here. Everything here can honestly be integrated into other courses or offered as a free overview course of what data science is.

This course is more of an overview of what is to come. A lot of what is presented here could just be in the format of a word or PDF with a series of links.

It does nothing better than just a PDF file... I would appreciate if they actually provide a PDF file, so everything is integrated and no loading time.

Not really enough content to be a course in it's own right, should be additional material as is useful, but definitely not a requirement.

It is really basic course, I expected much more even if this is offered only for $29.. (the cheapest course in the specialisation)

Completely useless. Just a number of boring videos of what you may possibly learn in Data Science Specialization.

I've taken a class in R. Half the quiz answers are wrong and is really overall pointless as a course.

The course contains almost no valuable information. It is not required to spend 4 weeks for it.

It's a course which is designed to preview the other courses. It could easily be eliminated

It's boring. The robot's voice is annoying that's why I can't focus on the lesson per se.

Too compact and short. Should be integrated to other courses.
