The Data Scientist’s Toolbox Welcome to your Lab Sandbox We’re glad you’re here! Let’s get you started in your Lab Sandbox with a quick README to answer any questions you might have. It’s preconfigured by Coursera and includes all dependencies (libraries and packages) to complete your work in RStudio. You can practice, run test cases, and work on assignments from your browser. Learn more about the Coursera Lab Sandbox and how to use the RStudio sandbox environment (including how to upload and download files) in the Learner Help Center.
How can I get started? First, read Getting Started with Your Lab for important course-specific guidance.
Download any assessment or starter files that were included in the course instructions and materials. You can download most files by clicking on them. If the file opens in a new browser tab, right click on a blank area of the browser page and select Save As to save your file locally.
Upload your files into the Lab Sandbox and complete the course work.
Once you have completed your work in the lab sandbox, save your work and download it locally.
When you’re done, save your work in your sandbox.
How can I receive a score for work completed in the Lab Sandbox? To receive a score for your work within Coursera, follow the course instructions listed within each assignment.
If you’re working on a Programming Assignment or Peer Review, you can download your Lab files to your local computer and upload them directly to the assignment. If you are working on a Quiz, you can use your Lab environment to complete your work and then select your responses directly within the quiz.
If you have any questions as you get started, we recommend reviewing Getting Started with Your Lab for course-specific guidance on how to work with the Lab Sandbox for this course.
How can I get help with my Lab Sandbox? You can learn more about how to use the Lab Sandbox environment and find tips to troubleshoot in the Learner Help Center.
Coursera currently maintains Lab Sandboxes and course instructors don’t have the ability to modify or troubleshoot sandbox environments. If you do run into any time sensitive platform issues, instead of contacting the course instructor and/or staff, reach out to our 24/7 chat support in the Learner Help Center.
Happy learning!
