Because it looked a bit more rigorous and well thought out course being taught by professors from The JHU. I found the content of this specialization to be very focused on the Data Science using “R”. Now this is important, at least for me, that this is first of its kind course which uses R, the statistical tool which I love most and spend most time learning it. The Data Science Specialization consists of 9 courses and a capstone project.
