"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!

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!

Very large gap between instructional material and programming assignments; perhaps too large.

Assignments are not good representations of course materials. The Instructor speaks too fast.

It's ok... they get a bit into some R stuff that seems archaic once you use the tidyverse...

It is not a beginner friendly course. Learn R from somewhere else and then take this course.

I'd say good if you are well versed in R already BUT for me...a little too much too soon.

Not very clear instructions. It can go above the head at times. SWIRL part is the best.
