It's a good introduction to R Programming for data analysis and visualisation

Yep, you need to prove that the knowledge from module 1 to 7 has transitioned to skill and this course is all about demonstration of your skill.

FQA: How do I enroll for the program. If you cannot afford Coursera subscription fee, you will need to provide a strong case while applying for financial aids.

My Honest Opinion: If you are not a student, try to make payment. Since it is self-paced, you will take it more serious

I will be holding twitter space session for each of these courses in the coming days.
We will ask questions and help each other understand them better.
Also to motivate you to complete the course on time.
Follow me and let's grow together in 2022
