This course covers a good deal about wrangling and visualizing data. By the end of the course, you are able to apply these skills to a project of your own interest which you should feel proud about. Becky is enthusiastic and clear with her teaching. It takes very little effort to keep up with the classwork; that is until the end when the project seems like a bit too much work for such little time.

Really great course! My only regret was taking it after already completing MATH 211 and MATH 311. Unfortunately, this course overlapped significantly with the material from those two. However, the review was still useful, and all of the material I hadn't already seen was extremely helpful. I feel like a much more competent R user after this course. I have already put many of the techniques we learned in this class to use in a final project for another course.

I took this course particularly because I was interested in taking a data science course. This class helped me learn the fundamental tools in using the software r for data science. I learned how to tidy data and create visualizations and then communicating the results. It does require a lot of coding because it is using a software. The material was new to me, but the instructor was great at explaining the topics through organized presentation slides. Also, after each class students were assigned apex assignments which are small assignments that enable you to practice the things students learned during the class that day. These apex assignments helped the students be more prepared for exams and final projects.
