    This course was easy to follow and the material was engaging. Would have given a 5 star if it wasn't for the parts relating to creating a data frame and 'imaginary patients'. These sections could have been explained in more detail. Instead, I applied the code in the R console without understanding it. I suggest the use of a 'real patient' example for this course that would help those taking the course fit each part of the code to an example at hand. Otherwise, amazing course!

    A good course, but not all the datasets used for exercises are available for downloadi. Where can I retrieve a copy of ALL datasets used in this course, please?
