What people are saying
interaction design
Words words words words words This course is part of the Interaction Design Specialization and if you take that into consideration this course was to advance for the most of the designers taking the specialization.
Needed to much knowledge of the R language and has little to do with design R is the hardest course for me for the whole Interaction Design Course so I went back to learn statistics from 0 at Khan Academy and came back to code R. I feel so accomplished when I passed all the tests!
I had to invest hours of my scarce time to complete tasks that aren't suited for an Interaction Designer, but rather for a mathematician.
)What I can't get over is that this is part of an interaction design specialization that teaches design concepts, but whose instructors almost never practice those concepts in their pedagogy.
It is very well structured and provides a foundation of research and I am glad that it is a part of Interaction Design specialization.
Grounding UX design in rigorous statistical analysis is important.BUT as a component of the Interaction Design specialisation it was much too long (nine weeks, as long as the previous three courses combined) and the coursework was un-interesting (long sequences of statistical tests with strange names) and very different to the creative and interactive assignments in the other courses.
It very quickly turned into a demoralising "death march" for me.As part of the specialisation, this course needs to be slimmed-down radically, and perhaps complemented by other analytical approaches to UX and interaction design.
In its current form, the inclusion of this course in the Interaction Design specilisation is represents an error of judgement.
Unfortunately tis a total mismatch in the Interaction Design specialisation.
Also this should not be part of the interaction design specialisation, and just be a small part of another course.
With all due respect this course shows a huge contrast with previous course in the interaction design specialisation and really make me feel a bit disappointed.
This is a very interesting and an important area in the Interaction Design Specialisation.
this is ruining this course for me, realizing that no support is available for significant issues like this This course was extremely helpful in understanding which statistical test to use when, with applications specifically for interaction design, which is what I need :) I appreciated the clear relationship between the lectures and the quizzes & assignments.

know how
Moreover, if you go to the discussion forums not only you will see that people can't finish even second week but also that many students can't even install the software that they don't know how to use.
Working in R-studio is tricky because you need to know how run the correct version of R, and how to install missing packages in order to run the functions used in the quizzes.
I have to be honest, I hated this course mostly because I suffered from the start to the end, but don't get me wrong, the concepts are great and very interesting, I didn't know how much information can you get from a simple CSV file; the thing is the course is based in the RStudio tool and I struggled very much with it; missing libraries, constant crashes, and at some point I lost the thread, the concepts start to seem too complex for someone who hasn't much experience with coding so my motivation went away and at the end I was just following instructions to make it through.
I don't even know how I passed but also I don't see how I can remember to use Rcode for future work within HCI I liked the professor.

other courses
Although the course is longer than other courses of this specialization , i dont think it has the same output.I become familiar with R.I become familiar with distributions.I know some of tests but if I want do a real world experiment I dont't know how can i start it now.I think this course should get redesigned.
You will not get a lot of theory (for that, there are plenty additional courses) but you will get enough theory to select the right method for each scenario.It will not teach you to program in R from zero (for that there are many other courses) but it will jump start you with snippets of code that you can read, understand, modify, and use.
Should cover how to select sample for experiments and perform experimental design test Great course, a little too long compared to other courses it's a little too much materials.

statistical analysis
Because it requires a special preparation and skills in programming and statistical analysis which this course wasn't meant to require from students.It's like if I would be doing a course on Microsoft Paint and the last course would be to create a 3D model of a dinosaur in Maya assuming after learning Microsoft Paint we're able to take on the Maya 3D in no time.I was forced to study something separately just to finish this course.
I feel a little more familiar with basic concepts for quantitative experiments but in terms of understanding the actual statistical functions I still don't feel confident running know when and where to apply the statistical analysis to the data (Seems out of scope for this one course and I would take this course again for more practice).
I would have preferred if the course focused on getting the results(data) and keeping the statistical analysis to a few (most common) areas.
