Very challenging, but good course. I've been programming in R for over a year, but there were still some things for me to pick up in this class. Assignments were a challenge, but satisfying to tackle.

"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!

I found it helpful just that the way the teacher taught and its contents are different to the things that come in the test which has confused me a lot. So I hope there will be improvement on this part everything else is great. Happy learning.

The Programming Assignments is quite harder then you can learn at the time. In the lectures and swirl you learn simple schemes and codes, but when you start doing the Assignment it demands the high level of R programming skills to pass it.

I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never taken a programming course. I thought this was more for entry-level learners, but the instructions and assignments appeared more at an experienced level programmer. Thank goodness for tutors.

Lectures were very engaging. I felt like I learned the foundation of coding in R, but did not get much practice applying these skills. Please add some optional challenges for students who want more practice than swirl and the assignments.

course is really good specially Swirl is designed to its best but lectures, swirl and assignment were all over the place, we were doing things first and learning things later, might be personal preference, but was tough learning this way

Depending on how extensive your background with R, this can be a very challenging and time consuming course. For me it was a challenging, but rewarding course. I learned a lot, both about R and about how to approach programming problems.

I have no background in R and thus benefited a lot from this course. It took me quite a while to figure out the programming assignments. I wish the course could provide more baby programming assignments to practice for beginners like me.

It is not easy for programming beginners. The course module itself is way too simple comparing with the assignment and quiz. Probably need to provide more instructions/ info/ explanation to the related modules for assignments/ quizzes.

Hope there will be more reading materials (with elaborate explanation) offered to help the progression of this course. Sometimes I find it hard to solve the assignment problems although I have completed all the videos and swirl tasks.

"R Programming" will really force you to dive deep into concepts. I am non-programming background but I liked the way course has been designed. At times, I felt frustrated and though of quitting but I held on and finally completed it.

Content was interesting to me and much of it will be helpful in what I am doing. Course is not for a beginner. Also, some of the assignments didn't align well with reinforcing the lecture topics. Swirl is definitely worth the time.

Apart from the theoretical aspect from the lecturer, everything else on this course is perfect and helped me to complete the course. It was quite boring at some part when long duration and continuous lectures took part without exams.

Very useful insights on Rstudio. My only problem are some of the homeworks which seem to be harder compared with the low experience an average student will have by that time, this force you to look around for tips and ways of coding.

Thanks a lot for such a wonderful training!
The videos prepared are really good to understand basics of R especially for beginners. Just a suggestion, if you can add more examples or add example for each function, it would be great.

very satisfying experience . I would recommend have a certain beginner's introduction and or background with R (some statistics might help too) . but It is an excellent choice for someone looking forward to step up his R-knowledge.

This course is definitely a must for anyone and everyone who has not worked on R (doesn't know what R is about), but has some previous exposure to basic programming! I was satisfied with what I had learnt at the end of this course!

I have zero experience in programming before taking this course however, assignments are hard to solve only if you isolate your concepts from the videos they prepared (Although it stumps me when I still can't figure the code out).

The course is really good, intense, and ... hard ! I guess that more assignements in swirl are better to get people more used to the tool instead of just leaving them with a huge, deep Programming Assignement for them to complete.

Este curso contiene una buena cantidad de temas muy relevantes y útiles. Sin embargo, las evaluaciones pueden ser más difÃciles que lo que uno esperarÃa dados los contenidos del curso (videos y ejercicios prácticos). Recomendado.

Video lectures don't cover all of the knowledge required for the quizzes. Seems like if there is a question on a quiz the details of the question should have been taught in the lectures or notes. Overall good experience though.

Hello there! This particular course has helped to acquire knowledge about the concept and various aspects of this and its flexibility of work. Certainly, a productive course one could ask for. I'd suggest te same for others too.

Was difficult for me, but spent countless hours reviewing, writing, and testing. The only way to connect individual commands and concepts with a fully operational program is by practicing and going through the code line by line.

Overall great way to be introduced to R programming. The peer review assignment should be more instructional breaking down the function examples. Needed to do a lot of outside research to understand what exactly was going on.

Course Conent is good but somewhat superficial and not aligned with assignments, there is a significant time spent learning coding outside of the course. Nothing wrong with that but it's worth setting expectations correctly.

El contenido del curso me pareció bueno. SerÃa positivo si se pudieran incorporar más ejemplos prácticos sobre el funcionamiento de las "loop functions". Fundamental el aporte de los ejercicios a través del paquete swirl.
