Instructors get 5 stars. Content gets 4.5. The 4 star rating due to some issues with the answer key/grading and some of the R assignments expected more knowledge than that presented.

Too many words, too little actions and learning. The links to the material are all over the place. The R environment is extremely slow. The bulk of the time you spend on finding variables in the code-books. I am non the wiser and did not really get what this course intended to teach.

A good introduction! I found it useful to do a bit of extra work outside of the course learning R and practicing some of the data cleaning skills that were introduced. A well-taught and interesting introduction for people who want to understand how data can be used to make public policy more effective.

I think that some of the R programming modules were very fast paced, but I enjoyed and learned a lot from this course. I think that when the course is accessed on the mobile platform some of the quiz answers may get shuffled around and be incorrect, but other than that I had no issues with the course.

Great course, I learned about the foundations of public, public policy, and Analytics supported by evidences.

Great course that lays a solid foundation for the rest of the specialisation.

I will be not get a certificate.

Great for beginners in R

thank you coursera

I enjoyed the introduction to R programming and discovering the usefulness of data analysis for the public sector. I want to congratulate the instructors for their enthusiasm and excellent teaching.
