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!

Really good course, and structured in a way that you have to do a lot of thinking, reading, and research for yourself - forcing you to learn and explore.

high level teachers , and well-organized course, in a pedagogic way. Understandable for non-specialists, requires a significant amount of personnal work.

A good course to gain more experience in programming with R. The assignments are of reasonable size, and expand on the basics presented in the Toolbox.

Challenging. Its a plus if you have a background on PHP, Python, and Java and not just SAS and SPSS. Otherwise, it would be a steep learning curve in R.

La primera vez que lo tome significo un impulso en mi carrera profesional; efectivamente iniciandome como un programador en R, y no solo como un usuario

Great course for beginners! Informative, well-structured and straightforward. The "SWIRL" exercises and the introduction to GitHub are also very useful.

Awesome, but you need to put hard work into it if you're completely new to R. Assignment 3 will kick your butt and you need to be ready for it; revise!

This provides a solid foundation in R. I have a lot of programming experience, but I still learned a lot about just how useful R is for data analysis.

Pretty detailed. Programming exercises are worth doing in detail. That's when we learn a lot. Swirl() exercises are also great for easy understanding.

GREAT for learning the BASICS of R. Nothing too advanced. Definitely need further classes to use R for anything useful that cannot be done in Excel.

High level of difficulty, which met my expectations.

Really challenging to complete, but simultaneously excellent for an induction into the R package.

The last assignment was very tough, not for the faint of heart. There were some useful methodologies in the discussion forums but it was not enough.
