Thought the whole QS side of this module has been ran really well and for someone who knew bits of code but not how to do anything useful I think it has all been explained really well. I think a few times the video code was different to what was in the book which confused me and or the instructions and placement of the video meant I wasn't sure which to do first. I also think it would be interesting to have an idea where the csv files are coming from or documents. What i mean is like how would someone have got that data in that format in case we wanted to in future. Loved the module though and it has made me really like coding and I will look at doing some in my spare time which I probably wouldn't have before
My favourite module of semester 1, accessible for those who want to learn the basics and for those who want to study R in more detail. Thank you for making the sessions so engaging :)
Thank you very much for all the help this year! For people like me, coding has been the hardest subject ever in high school, and still probably is, not going to lie, but you helped me be more confident when working with R and when we solve these problems. You showed your personality, which is a very big thing for me personally, and it made me enjoy these classes, even though I thought it was going to be impossible.
Thank you so much for making this module so fun! Learning how to code is an essential skill that we need to somehow learn and even though it is complicated, you have made it enjoyable. Hope you have a nice Christmas break and happy New Year!!
Thank you so much for all your support, you're the best Dr. Rob, I was wondering if you can download more videos about coding especially RStudio in your YouTube channel for who's interesting including me, I think people will love it. As I feel your videos are so much fun. AS well as, the interesting information that you provide. .
Great as ever, walk through videos are exactly the right amount of guidance and explain everything super well. The book then also allows a bit more of an independent approach I use when revisiting! Really considering looking into something like this professionally and I wouldn't have even considered it before. Thank you so much :)
As a complete beginner to coding, this is very daunting and I find alot of it very confusing but the videos are very helpful - thank you for taking the time to make the videos they are brill cheers
It was obviously a bit more difficult this week, however I found it very informative and fascinating, I always wondered how I could apply R to things like genomics.
No comments for improvement from myself, I think the chapters are very informative and understandable, coming from someone with little to no prior coding experience.
really starting to get the hang of R and much prefer it to excel. i find with excel my calculated values sometimes come out wrong and i dont know where but with code it will scream and cry that you've done something wrong.
Really loving this! Watching the videos alongside reading the text AND with my own work open makes the learning so much easier and massively helps me understand what on Earth is going on :)
I have a learning disability and I have actually used R before and found it really frustrating and still do to some extent haha. However, I really love how you've broken it down into manageable videos. At first I wasn't quite sure and the practicals felt really impersonal but it's actually been a pleasant surprise by how I'm now finally picking it up, especially with R. So thank you for that :)
the videos are super helpful and to be honest coding is such a difficult thing to teach given all the jargon and processes but having a youtube video to walk you through it really helps. I do find as a complete beginner to coding though that it is quite intimidating and difficult to know where you have gone wrong for example in summative assessments I find there's consistently something that's not quite right and I struggle to troubleshoot this by myself. really I should just come and find you in that period on a Thursday for help but alas.
The videos are great and the textbook is really accessible in it's layout. The teams call of a recorded video with no sound was bad and in the second video a bit about how to get your boxplots in numerical order would have been helpful.
You really explained why we are doing certain stats well, so thank you. However, your explanation and the written instructions did not always match up which makes it confusing. You sometimes didn't verbalise every action you were doing in the video (may add extra commas/ colons).
The videos are more helpful than the instruction as they can be quite confusing, however sometimes the quality of the video makes it hard to see what you’re doing so the instructions are a good reference to use also! Thanks
