This course is a good one if you have a background in programming. But really challenging to those who come from other fields. If you have a life science background, I recommend you check out R or programming courses tailored for your field.

This course is very thorough, but I did not feel that the lessons often prepared me for the programming assignments. I found that I was frequently looking on the internet for additional resources and finding that I was definitely not alone.

The course material discusses basics and the quiz questions involve having to learn and implement much more than what is taught.

Taking a sample question(or something similar to what is asked for in the quiz) and explaining that will help.

Los ejercicios prácticos no entran a tanto detalle como sí lo hacen las evaluaciones y son bien fáciles. Mejorando eso (un swirl package u otro adicional) la experiencia sería mucho mejor y verdadera sentiría que aprendí bien el curso.

Course was good, but the material covered was at a fairly high level and done too quickly. This course could use some demos and since its a core foundation for the rest of the courses, maybe it should be a longer more in-depth program.

I thought this course varied pretty widely between the basic, building block nature of the videos and swirl exercises and the difficult assignments. I did not feel as though the curriculum set me up to be successful on the assignments.

Difficult course. Prior knowledge in programming clearly a big help to adequately follow course material. If no prior knowledge is had, then following the lectures swirl exercises and completing the assignments is quite a challenge.

The assignments were much tougher that the teaching material.The lecture dont even cover lots of things that are required to complete the assignments.The lectures need to include more contents for the students to solve assignments .

Course is quite interesting. Swirl is a very good platform for learning. Assignments while might seem difficult, can be tedious, but still able to complete.

If one has background on programming such as Matlab it will certainly help.

The course is excellent and cover many tasks that usually you perform with R. However, on my opinion assignments are not really focused on the topic of the classes, they are not really explained and above the grade of the classes.

It would be better if applications on the explained concepts were explained. The lessons were easy but assignments were tough. This can be tackled if applications can be explained by taking an example. Lab hours can be conducted.

Extremely hard programming assignments for people with little or no programming background. Even though these assignments were truly challenging and difficult to complete, the course complied with some of the proposed objectives.

The programming assignments are a great way to get your hands dirty with R, but this is not a course for someone without any prior programming experience, and I found the lectures didn't have much connection with the assignments.

There is a huge gap between the content taught in the lectures and what is tested in the assignments. Other than that, it is quite a good learning experience IF you have a decent amount of experience with programming beforehand.

Me ha gustado, pero creo que los vídeos serían mejores si se viera al instructor programando más a menudo, en lugar de solo teoría. Para las personas que no tenemos apenas experiencia en esto, resulta un poco difícil de seguir.

The course's program assignments could've been framed more clearly to understand better, especially the corr function in program assignment 2 and the last program assignment, overall the course was a good experience to learn R.

Very challenging course for a beginner with well designed assignments. Terrible lectures however. Most learning is self led using Youtube and Data Camp. The supporting material provided via the discussion forums is very useful.

The course materials do not give you enough to complete the assignments. The coverage is only cursory and you need to do a lot more extra work and research to get even close to the standard required to do the final assignments.

It's a very useful class, but difficult without prior programming knowledge. A lot of things you need to know to complete the assignments are not covered in lecture. I spent a lot of time googling different pieces of knowledge.

The course is good but the lectures seems to be a little bit disconnected from the assignments. I would suggest to include lectures more dynamics. Though, I learned a lot from the discussion forums and from swirl () program.

Too complex, not all people will use the specific things that you teaching in this course , but almost all the people will need to use some things that you not teaching here, like for example using external models functions.

If you have no programming experience in R, this is not the course for you,

There is no link with the programming assignments and course slides.

But a practice assignment is proposed at the beginning of the course in week 2.

Gets progressively tougher but loses momentum in the end. I highly recommend taking additional courses in R as the programming requirements are not exponentially increasing and by the end it suddenly peaks to a huge demand.

Brace yourselves for hours of anxiety if you are new to R programming. I would have taken a simpler course as a newbie because the stress I had from this course somehow kills my motivation for the next steps in learning R.

Definitely not designed for students with no prior programming experience. Lecture videos are easy to follow, but assignments are much more difficult and took me a lot longer than the suggested amount of time to complete.
