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!

Lecturer is very poor, explains very little and the assignments he give have no connection whatsoever to what was taught. waste of money and energy

Es el curso más aburrido que he tomado, no puede ser que algo netamente práctico lo hagan netamente teórico. pésimo. no voy a terminar este curso.

Assignments were too difficult and totally not relevant to learning materials. I believe alot of work needs to be input on course structure.

The bridge between the class lectures and assignment was too much for a beginner. Please give questions based on what is taught in class.

This course was confusing, and the quizzes required knowledge outside of the readings and lectures. This is why I cannot learn online.

Lectures are very boring and designed in a weird way. He is simply reading the book that he wrote and no real practice was ever done.

Not the best course for beginners. Too much theory and no implementation. Also the assignments were impossible for a beginner.

Not for new programmers. The lecture material is also not logically organized and does not correspond to the assignments.

R tutorials and assignments are great - however, had to spend more time figuring out Git than I spent on R assignments...

They don't give enough inputs and instructions to complete the assignments, unless they could offer addicional material.

I found the jump in difficulty for the first assignment too great. This seems to be a view reflected elsewhere.

The instructions were not satisfactory, and there is a large gap between the assignment and the skills taught.

Most of the portion is just theory with very less hands-on sessions. So boring to listen to all the concepts.

This course was so convoluted and not practical that it made me lose complete interest in the specialization.

Fix the assignments so they match the course content. This is unfair to the people who pay for this service.

This course presumes you are a programmer to begin with. I tried to take the class to learn how to program.

The course does not cover for beginner students. Assignments and tests are level apart from learning.
