Because,for the first time,I am very excited for learning new programming skills in R using practice problems.It was very informative.
I have gained more confidence to use R.
The problems are very useful
GUIDE FOR MORE PROJECTS
it helps me to learn alot

Self learning tutorials make learning R very easy and u can learn at your own pace.
ML
Spoken tutorials
Prerecorded videos was ammazing
The teachers were very interactive... I liked the Animation using R the most.
the effective sopken tutorials...good presentation...
That it's teachers were from IITS
Valuable input from the relevant experts and just the right amount of time given for practising.
The best part was the spoken tutorials. When we can relate and learn-we can remember and apply! Thank you.
I liked the live sessions they were really great
The teacher's were active, when we asked our doubt's .
hands on sessions helped a lot
The way kanan sir explains
The tutorials were most helpful in learning R and the live session were useful in learning more about R and the best part was whenever anyone had doubt it was resolved within minutes by the whole team
Basic statistics
The side by side learning part.
Live sessions and spoken tutorials
Textbook companion, spoken tutorial, self learning options.
Hands-on
Frankly and clearly explaining about various courses in R.
live sessions worked as true explained examples.
I would like the spoken-tutorial forum aspect. because it gives more tutorials to learn the basics of R in a very clear manner without any R experts.
Did not expect live tutorials for such low cost of workshop. They were amazing. Added greatly to the knowledge imparted by tutorials.
Talk on Modelling survival in prostate cancer using pathology images and R was very interesting. It gave us an idea about how R can be used by people of different professions and its applications are enormous.
Spoken tutorials and self learning. R markdown is new thing I am trying to learn.
The discussion session i like most
EXPOSURE
Hands-on
Spoken tutorial
Spoken tutorials were very useful
Spoken tutorial video
The Live Sessions
21. What aspect(s) about the workshop did you dislike the most?
The fact that they weren't exactly live session. For some reason I felt cheated most of the lessons were recorded.
Nothing
None
None
Nothing
NIL
Not thing.
The spoken learning thing is totally trash... the video quality is not upto mark and the teacher who is mostly teaching us R language, doesnot has the intention to teach... He is always kinda sleepy.
Not very much
That it was just 3 days, one more day could be added easily and lack of response from other participants.
live workshops were quite vague and not to the point! Mr. Digvijay's workshop was quite useful but others were no at par.
Nothing
real-time lab practice
About the spoken-tutorial question asking forms. You could improve the website to take video questions too.
Nothing i dislike
-
Nothing
None
The intuition behind the R language was missing in some videos.
the spoken tutorials are good but their flow and explanation must be more.
Nothing
at start i took one day to understand the way i needed to pace with the workshop.
Nothing to say
few exercises on machine learning should be added or a case study problem should be solved on the last day for 2 hrs.
Personally I couldn't pay attention to live sessions as there is no practice involved.
More time spending in the reading the tutorial
NIL
remote
As I am not familiar with coding, I felt difficult
Lot of topics were taught in a very short duration. After full day workshop sessions it was difficult to do home assignments and practise. Though I was present in most sessions. I could not practice them. It could have been a 5 day or 7 day workshop easily.
Recording was not provided and since classes were going on, I couldnt attent every minute of the workshop

To, eradicate lack of response from participants, group activities could be useful, like GD, or pairing up of participants for certain tasks
no need as much! but live sessions must be given some aspects of betterment
You can improve your spoken-tutorial question asking website,so, that it becomes easier to ask questions and also send video recorded questions as well
Everything is good..

Actually I am a beginner in R. We must be benefitted form the spoken tutorials.So I would to like to thank the FOSSEE team of IITBombey.
It was a very innovative and informative conference.
Actually I am a beginner in R Workshop. We must be benefitted from the spoken tutorials. So I want to thank you Fossee team of IIT Bombay .
only the intuition behind the use of code in R be explained little more.
but anyways this is good for kick starting intuitive minds
It is good.
nicely conducted workshop.
You might short out the Workshop duration time to make the convenience of working faculties and provide yet more R-tutorial on the Spoken tutorial forum.
NIL
no
Even the statistics course content can also be added
Reduce the pace of such workshops for beginners
As mentioned, provide recorded videos and communicate more through email for those who might have missed the workshop.
