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!

Great course overall. Basic principles for using R are covered. It could cover a bit more advanced tasks though.

Course is good start in R programming. Questions in the quiz may be dynamic. i.e. should not be same every time.

Swirl package really gave a lot. The lectures I find to be at times a bit slow-paced. All in all a great course.

Learned a lot from this course but for people without any programming background it might be quite intimidating.

More work has to be put upon working with examples that would help solve quizzes and not only depend only swirl

Lectures and assignments are quite misaligned, should incorporate a more progressive assignment routine instead

More interaction is needed and explanation for programming assignments other than that every thing is excellent

week 3 and week 4 assignments were so hard to solve ,
hope you improve the way of writing the problem statement.

I am experienced in C++/C etc and some 50% of the videos i had to rewind.
The assignments are really good though

Really great course. 4 stars for not allowing submissions of quizzes and program assignments without purchase.

There was some mismatches between what was thought in the lectures and what was tested as part of assignment.

I learned a lot about R programming and code scripting. Assignments were a little harder of what I expected.

Videos were really good ,but then the assignments were complex and not related to what was taught in Videos.

If the lecture could be practical (i.e... lectures + working it on R console), I would learn it even better.

It was a little bit hard to study for beginner of r-programming. However, contents of lecture are useful.

Hard assignments which made me work like mad! I think it gave me a good rigorous beginning to learning R.
