I liked the explanations a lot, they were very clear and easy to follow. I would recommend you definitely to a friend!

This is one of the best introduction to R courses that I have taken. It is simple yet very powerful. I have learnt a lot of things in one day which were very confusing to me for the past 2 years. Thank you for opening my eyes and allowing me to see the possibilites that are there in R. I highly recommend this course to anyone starting out in R.

I shared R for the Rest of Us with my daughter who is in college and trying to learn R, and she texted me an hour later..."OMG, this is 1000x better and easier to understand than the other videos I saw." Thank you David for making R so easy to understand!

What a great introduction to R! I have worked in Stata and SAS, but have been wanting to learn R for sometime. David's videos are fantastic - a great pace for those familiar with other programs or those for whom R is the first - and the best part is you get to go back to them as many times as you need or want! I'm excided to dive into the other R for the Rest of Us courses!!

I’ve had so many false starts trying to learn R: my initial excitement at learning something new is quickly dashed by the brick wall of coding. I keep telling myself R is not for non-coders like me and off I slope back to Excel! This course is different. To use the words of one of my data heroes, Alberto Cairo, this course doesn’t try to simplify R but it helps clarify the basic skills you need. The step-by-step approach to building skills kept me engaged and learning all the way through. All the while I kept thinking, I know how I can use this in my current job.

As we get to the end of the course, I'm feeling so much stronger in my ability to work with my data and make the visualizations I need. In the first part of the course I kept thinking, "I'm not sure if this is more time-efficient than using Stata"; later on I felt that it would be best to do my data wrangling in Stata and my data vis for maps and complex plots in R; and now I'm starting most of my new projects in R, as RMarkdown files, and planning forthcoming analyses with collaborators in R.

Definitivo, es un muy buen inicio. He manejado r antes y aprendí muchas cosas nuevas. Gracias David y equipo por un muy buen trabajo. Abrazo, Martha Lucía.

LOVED the course! Thank you so much for keeping everything high level enough that we don't get lost in the weeds but also providing so much helpful information. I've gone through other courses for beginners and came away still not knowing what a package was or how to import data. This course was perfect.

R has enabled me to explore my data more deeply and take control of my data visualizations. I would highly recommend the R in 3 Months program to anyone who wants to learn R.

This is approachable and accessible. I'd recommend this program to a friend as a great way to learn enough about R to take away the fear of the difficulty of learning anything relating to code.

It took a while but finally completed all the modules - really helpful when I needed it and glad I can always go back :)

Awesome course! It helped me understand the nitty-gritty parts of coding with R that I had struggled with so far. David is an awesome instructor who explains everything in an easily understandable manner. And if you still struggle, there's always the repeat button. :)

Very easy to work with. loved all the lecture videos. each one making you to want more. The lessons are all easily grasped and understood. Looking forward to the next courses
