Thank you for the step-by-step tutorial and helpful tips!
I was overwhelmed with the prospect of starting to use R, especially given all the many websites and resources available online. This course was exactly what I needed - clear and organized ideas, step-by-step instructions, and the use of real examples and practice strategies. Such a wonderful resource!
A great start to getting your feet wet with R!
I've been working with R for several years, but looked at this intro just for the heck of it because I keep hearing about R for the Rest of Us. To my shock, I learned a few new very useful tricks. David is a clear and thoughtful teacher. Don't let the short videos or his calm presence trick you into thinking this is too simplistic. It is easy because David is clear. But he's also gently (subtly) telling you some REALLY important stuff. He's laying down an excellent foundation for your future work with R. Don't skip this. Build your good foundation with David's guidance. I'm so glad I finally decided to give R for the Rest of Us a look; now I need to go look at more of it.
I've been dipping my toes in the R water for many years, your site and approach has been the most accessible and useful by far!
David, Just a note to say thank you for a clear, concise and straightforward approach to R. Shout out to Chris Garmon, University of Missouri-Kansas City, MO professor in graduate school course, Research Methods in Public Administration for steering students to your free, easily understandable course. You do a great job taking the scariness out of R by taking us step by step through learning how to use R and explaining the power R has in being able to tell a story through data and analyzing information to make decisions. Professor Garmon told us that The Washington Post uses R for it's data and that's quite a seal of approval. Thanks again for a great course. Bernita Cauthon, Kansas City, Missouri
If an 84-year-old complete coding novice can get something out of this course, anyone can. The ability to ask questions and get answers was especially helpful.
very clear explanation
I loved your teaching skills. I had some doubt before, now most of the things are clear after watching your videos.
For me, the course was set up very good and understandable for getting into R. I think it was very well done and serves as a good basis for starting to work with R!
thank you for making it easy to understand
Very good explanations about how to using r, also he doesn't go fast so you can understand way better everything. Highly reccomendated :)
There's certainly a lot to learn! I am interested in learning more, but this is a helpful crash course.
