‘Loved it. Very well presented, course material very clear and will be a useful resource in the future. Thanks Kim-Anh!!‘

20150813_155407 — ‘Very well designed such that the concepts were presented and explained while the trickiness of the R code was helped enormously by being able to follow the downloaded scripts. The tutors were very helpful in interpreting what the code was doing.’
