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.

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!

R Programming is seeming difficult more hour courses are required to be initiated for making this language better learn among scientific community.

It seemed like course material had little to do with the assignments. Teach us how to read alphabets and assignment is to write poetry. Big jump!

i would have preferred if the advance topic were touched . things like plotting etc plus more hands on exercies and hacks for reducing code size

I understand why R was chosen to be the statistical software package chosen here, but I personally don't like it and professionally use SAS JMP.

Assignments don't always align to the course content....

In terms of usefulness and coverage of this course, this really is just the basics of R.

Huge gap between programming assignment and lectures. Need to seek other resources to be able to solve/complete the programming assignment.

it is NOT for beginner, the student should have "more than average" in the programming languages, in order to get benefit from this course.

There's a huge gap between what is taught and what is expected in the assignments, the course is good but needs to be more comprehensive.

material is just not prepared with a beginner in mind. the assignments are too challenging for someone with little/ no coding experience

Great course. But to be frank it was the "Swirl" exercises that did 80% of the job. The lecture videos weren't at the level I expected

Lectures and exercises are very good. Somehow assignments are not related to the lectures or exercises. Assignments are too difficult.

Solid course overall only complaint is the programming assignments are a bit difficult to do based on what is taught in the lectures.

The main exam is to difficult. I feel there was a huge leap from theory to the actual finishing hospital function which was complex.

The last coding assignment was way beyond what was taught in the lectures, the syntax search eats up most of the assignment solving

the project assignments are complex and doesn't relate or have enough coherence to what is being taught in that particular module.

Lectures and the homework are not quite relevant. The instructor explains so little on programming, but the assignment are tough.

Lectures were too quick at times and many of the assignments had little to nothing to do with what we were learning that week.

If you are beginner for R programming,I suggest don't enroll this course. This course is for someone who is experience in R

Seems outdated (content is 5 or 6 years old). Assignments are challenging as the videos and readings cover only the basics.

Assignments are really usefull, but there is a lack of content relation between them and the content of the course itself
