Is modelling and prediction for this problem possible by writing an R script?

Can you help me out by suggesting some ways to understand and read the coded data in R. I imported the data and read the csv files in R, but I can’t understand how to start? Should I be using Text Mining here?

This is a binary classification problem (Poor [True,False])
1 - Read about binary classification problem and possible algorithms to solve that.
2 - Look for some code tutorial in R I recommend take a look at Travor’s website [link](http://trevorstephens.com/kaggle-titanic-tutorial/getting-started-with-r/)
luck!
