"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!

A good course covering the basics of R, but thought the speed was a bit too high for a few concepts.

Challenging for those without programming experience. But with hard work and forum, you can do it.

One problem is that the programming assignments are not much related to the corresponding lecture.

I think as new programmers we should get a bit more hints while doing the programming assignments

The lessons were too long and overwhelming to those who are new to the course. But it is useful.

It's very good for a first time programming in R course, but it needs more than 4 weeks I think.

Assignments were tougher than what were taught in videos/lectures, but that is how it should be.

The course is good for someone with no background of programming. But it is not very rigorous.

Very good lectures. Sometimes the gap between learning material and assignment is quite big.
