Excellent course! I already knew a lot about R - but this class helped me solidify what I already knew, taught me lots of new tricks, and now I have a certificate that says I know `something' about R!

"R Programming" forces you to dive in deep.
These skills serve as a strong basis for the rest of the data science specialization.
Material is in depth, but presented clearly. Highly recommended!

The course is great!
The only problem that I had as a complete beginner to R programming, is that the assignments were a level harder compared to what the course teaches.

The swirl programming exercises are sufficient and helpful but the assignments are too hard. It would be better if a (more detailed) skeleton is provided for each task.

Very tough. The lectures diverge from the quizzes and swirl examples but all in all were helpful. Would love recommended book chapters to read to round out the course.

This is a great way to learn R programming and covers really important stuff. However, the programming assignments weren't clear and requires more examples and details.

Interesting outcome (especially for assignments), but the course material could be better and more appealing (instructor basically reads his slides and stutters a lot).

A good introduction to R. The practical assignments with Swirl will help a lot for those new into programming. I recommend to take additional introductory courses in R.

Very nice course. It covers the most important aspects and has good documentation. Is important to dedicate more time to get to know properly the tool and the language.

Muy buen curso pero debes estudiar mucho por tu cuenta, la dificultad de las tareas de programación está muy desproporcionada en función de lo que estudias en el curso

Difficulty of Programming assignments was much higher than anything else in the course. Took a lot of "hacker" mentality to complete them...but maybe that's the point!

The best part was the Swirl package to practice. But I think it would be better if you provide more to practice because R is different than other languages like JAVA.

Pretty good coverage of statistics and dataframes in R. Would consider this worth the money I paid for it and I've used R in the past. Newbies will definitely benefit!

Good course to get started and get you comfortable with manipulating data in R. However, does not cover object oriented programming, pivot tables or advanced plotting.

Excelente curso introductorio, considere que la tareas son de mayor nivel que las lecturas.
Tendrás que investigar un poco más por tu cuenta para resolver las tareas.

Good one for a beginner. The assignments requires self study from the internet as the material isn't at par with the assignments, they've slightly higher difficulty.

Good. But may need to check whether all the information in the lectures are updated, such as all the arguments in the function may not work with the latest package.

Not an easy one, but for experienced developer who wants to learn a new language, and all help provided (forum, examples etc.) it shouldn't be too hard to complete.

You have to put in a lot of efforts on your own.
Sir Roger D Peng explained too short details. Then again, a good start to understand functions and programming in R

The projects are very challenging for those who have no experience working with R. The syntax seems similar to C++ but the nuances of the code are hard for newbies

Tough, but the excersizes are really usefull and make you get a feel for R. I wouldn't recommend this for a beginner who has never had any programming experience.

I believe it is a great course, but its pretty hard to catch up how to code if u dont have basics of general coding: logical thinking and problem solving aproach.

The assignements are excellent for learning. however, the last assignment for programming might be too difficult for total beginners. need to put in extra effort.

it was a little confusing where to submit and how to submit the week 3 assignment. I was to learn R not a site to collaborate on R. Okay course though. Cheers

A good class. Some of the concepts required a good deal of research to understand and use, but that research is really the heart of modern development anyway.

Generally, course is very informative and helpful in getting insights of R language! However, lack of practical tasks or problem sets makes it less effective.

I feel this course is too difficult ,The requirements for learners are too high, and the explanation is too shallow. but i still learn a lot from this course.
