In what order should I take the courses from Udacity's data science category?

[Quora Feeds]

William Chen

Conveniently, Udacity has ordered their data science courses for their "nano-degree" program: Data Analyst Nanodegree

This is the order that they listed the component courses, and this looks like a good order to follow to become a data scientist.

1. Intro to Data Science [you can "Access Course Materials" for free] (alternative: Harvard CS 109)
2. Data Wrangling with MongoDB
   
3. Exploratory Data Analysis Using R [you can "Access Course Materials" for free] (alternative: How do I begin analyzing data using R?)
4. Intro to Machine Learning
   
5. Data Visualization and D3.js
