Really interesting course. The interactive coding sessions with swirl are especially useful. Would be great, if you provided sample solutions for the programming assignments, in particular for week 4.

"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!

There's no connection between the assignments given and the lecture being taught. So many contexts are missing.

Disjointed and not cohesive. Start with the basics and build from there. The assignments are a waste of time.

what is taught is kind of abstract, and what is due is beyond the taught
