Each video segment is associated with one or more exercises intended for you to test your own understanding, which are provided as Swirl interactive R quizzes.

install.packages("swirl")

Once you've finished one of the videos and you wish to take the associated quiz, you simply start swirl:

Note: The quizzes within each lesson rely on information from previous quizzes from that lesson, so we strongly recommend you take them in order. However; in the case where you need variables computed in previous quizzes, those values will be loaded for you at the start of the quiz, even if you've closed or cleared R since you took the last quiz.
