About the Course

In this course you will learn how to program in R and how to use R for effective data analysis. You will learn how to install and configure software necessary for a statistical programming environment and describe generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in a high-level statistical language. The course covers practical issues in statistical computing which includes programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code. Topics in statistical data analysis will provide working examples....

"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!

Assignments are a huge step up in difficulty compared to lectures. It is like there are lectures missing.

I felt some assignment required more knowledge than the course had offered. Overall this is a good course

its good and still more programming problems can be discussed to ease the learners to dive interest in R.

Much of the material is learned via googling. Do not look to the course videos to be enough to go on.

While the lessons are good, there is a large difficulty spike with a few of the course assignments.

I wish there were more in-depth exercises at an intermediate level before what we got in the exams.

Too big the gap between lectures and assignments. Only partially filled by the task of the mentors.

There seem to be a big gap on what was taught and was was given in the quizes. Overall it was okay.

Assignments are far more challenging than they should be. Course content is good introductory to R.

Could do a better job of teaching more of the fundamentals involved in the Programming Assignments.

The gap between teachings and assignment is quite large. This is definitely not beginner-friendly.

The pace of talking of some of the intutor is too fast, if slow down a little bit, will be better.

Some good information, and a good course platform, but I didn't feel all the parts fit together.

materials didn't cover everything necessary for assignments, and time requirement was not clear
