Ariel Quinio - Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto

I enrolled in Practical Data Management with R as I continuously seek different ways of looking at and analyzing my research data, and I want to keep abreast of the current trends in data sciences. The instructor did an excellent job. As a teacher Matt Denny was detail-oriented, and employed a variety of teaching modalities including repetition to emphasize important aspects of the lesson, and illustration using examples to apply relevant concepts or procedures to follow. Most of all. I liked the aura of politeness in the way he talked throughout the course while explaining a complex topic. I think he has the qualities of a good teacher as evident during the concluding sections where he was able to inspire, motivate and encourage students to go beyond what this course has to offer.

Learner on Practical Data Management with R

I wish I had taken this course years ago when I started learning R. I'm much more confident now and I'm not even halfway through the course. 

Thank You!

Gabby Resch - Doctoral researcher at the University of Toronto

I found the course to be a thorough, structured, and well-planned-out introduction to visualizing data in the R ecosystem. Martin, the course instructor, developed appropriate examples that spanned a range of social science data visualization contexts. His detailed explanations of various components in the R ecosystem would be helpful for beginners and novices alike. Overall, this is a fantastic introduction to data visualization concepts in social science research.

Daniel Edmondson - PhD Applied Linguistics candidate at the University of Nottingham

I’m currently taking the SAGE Campus ‘Introduction to Python for Social Scientists’ course. I’m two lessons into the second module and I’m already wishing I learned this months ago. Honestly, if you work with data, beg your institutions for access to this course

Mark Dobeck - Professor at Cleveland State University

The courses are delivered by highly qualified and competent instructors. The courses are well-organized and offer considerable value to students. The price of the courses is very economical, especially when considering the benefits. I recommend the SAGE Campus course offerings to students, academics, and working professionals.

Dr. Jason Jackson - Director of Jackson Research Institute, Professor at Purdue University Global

While we cannot predict the future, we can prepare for it. I know the knowledge gained in Python continues to help me find opportunities to learn, and as a leader, solve complex problems—independent of how the future actually plays out. I would encourage social scientists, university professors, and business leaders to consider adding this emerging skillset to their own professional toolkit.
