By registering as an online learner in an HX course, you will also participate in research about learning. HarvardX pursues the science of learning. Enrollees who are taking HarvardX courses as part of another program will also be governed by the academic policies of those programs. No refunds will be issued in the case of corrective action for such violations. HarvardX will take appropriate corrective action in response to violations of the edX honor code, which may include dismissal from the HarvardX course revocation of any certificates received for the HarvardX course or other remedies as circumstances warrant. HarvardX requires individuals who enroll in its courses on edX to abide by the terms of the edX honor code. This program was supported in part by NIH grant R25GM114818.

We believe that you can better retain R knowledge when you learn how to solve a specific problem. You will learn R, statistical concepts, and data analysis techniques simultaneously. Throughout the program, we will be using the R software environment. Case studies include: Trends in World Health and Economics, US Crime Rates, The Financial Crisis of 2007-2008, Election Forecasting, Building a Baseball Team (inspired by Moneyball), and Movie Recommendation Systems. In each course, we use motivating case studies, ask specific questions, and learn by answering these through data analysis. The program covers concepts such as probability, inference, regression, and machine learning and helps you develop an essential skill set that includes R programming, data wrangling with dplyr, data visualization with ggplot2, file organization with Unix/Linux, version control with git and GitHub, and reproducible document preparation with RStudio. The HarvardX Data Science program prepares you with the necessary knowledge base and useful skills to tackle real-world data analysis challenges. I think I need to upgrade or download a few library files.The demand for skilled data science practitioners in industry, academia, and government is rapidly growing.
