"This course provided an excellent foundational knowledge in using R. I also really appreciated that the course instructors took time to get our feedback after each session each day and adapted based on that feedback, which greatly improved my experiences in the course."—Student, 2021
 

"This course was just what I was hoping for.  While it was fast, the instructors provided great resources in the slides, labs, and homeworks that gave us experience practicing the code and can be used later as reference material.  It's challenging to learn a new language in a week but I learned enough of the basics that I can move forward on my own with confidence.  I'm very pleased with this course."—Student, 2019
