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!

Assignments can be made better. They should increase in level of difficulty , rather than making them quite tough for first time R programmers.

It's a well structured course. Covering key elements of R... my only suggestion is that if there can be more emphasis on creating R-Functions.

I like the course but I do not feel like the course material prepares me for the assignments. The programming assignments are too challenging.

Good course, especially for writing functions! At times, the assignments haunted me, but patience and reading the forums and blogs is the key.

The course is great for introducing the RStudio. The Curriculum needs a higher learning curve which I may feel not enough for a 4 week course.

Excellent starting course for R. Concepts explained in detail and comfortably with examples. SWIRL is a must to understand in greater detail.

Pretty nice! I'd suggest to move the activity on lexical scoping to the second week, since that's when the notions of scoping are explained.

I liked the course very much, but o thought the assignments were very hard for beginners like me. I thought the learning curve was too steep.

Wow, it is really a hard work for a student major in advertising. But the professor's lecture is really amazing, and I learned a lot from it.

The course coverage is really good. The video lectures can have more examples from real time projects. The assignments are truly challengjng.

I've learned great things during this course, I feel powerful now! Yet be aware that the first two practical assignments are very difficult.

Good Lessons and exercises. I would have liked introduction to packages like dplyr, but may be that is introduced in other training modules.

I personally think after every explanatory video,there should be a practice video. But everything is alright and the course is really good.

This course is great to learn and improve our R programming knowledge. The last assignment is very tough and requires more experience in r

The course offers good insight into R programming for beginners. A little more application and examples would make the course even better.

It was quite difficult to study alone and learn by own but I got much help from forum. The mentor was so enthusiastic and really helpful.

Basics of R-programming taught in a systematic manner, including how the code runs. Slides can be shown in a more engaging manner though.

It is a bit difficult for beginners to complete the assignments without any help. And it also takes a lot of time to understand the code.

It could be better with more reading materials about videos contents, information from videos actually not enough for quiz and assignment

quite tough for someone without R-programming background, should add in more explanation in the course to help beginner passing the quiz
