    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.

    Really interesting course. The interactive coding sessions with swirl are especially useful. Would be great, if you provided sample solutions for the programming assignments, in particular for week 4.

    The course gave a good overview of R language. The knity gritty things could have been explained better - for example the result of splitting a data frame does nor return a data frame etc.

    It wasn't for some one who had never programmed in his life.

    The course is generally well organised and planned. However, there's a huge gap between the knowledge explained through the videos and practices and the skill required to pass the programming assigment, specially in the assigment #1 of the week 1.

    A very good course that includes many things about R programming.

    But the difficulty of the assignment is not matched with that of the lecture.

    And hope to see more coding in the R during the lecture instead of just looking at the existed example.

    Easy to follow. Might be too easy for some people with experience in data analysis. However, the instructors also talk about some frameworks and insights from their experience which could be helpful even for those who have some prior experience.

    A challenge for the beginner, lots is covered, little is explained about the completion of the projects. An excelent challenge for the investigative minded. Highly recommended, but not for the unitiated without conviction or the faint of heart.

    I found it helpful just that the way the teacher taught and its contents are different to the things that come in the test which has confused me a lot. So I hope there will be improvement on this part everything else is great. Happy learning.

    The Programming Assignments is quite harder then you can learn at the time. In the lectures and swirl you learn simple schemes and codes, but when you start doing the Assignment it demands the high level of R programming skills to pass it.

    I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never taken a programming course. I thought this was more for entry-level learners, but the instructions and assignments appeared more at an experienced level programmer. Thank goodness for tutors.

    Lectures were very engaging. I felt like I learned the foundation of coding in R, but did not get much practice applying these skills. Please add some optional challenges for students who want more practice than swirl and the assignments.

    course is really good specially Swirl is designed to its best but lectures, swirl and assignment were all over the place, we were doing things first and learning things later, might be personal preference, but was tough learning this way

    Depending on how extensive your background with R, this can be a very challenging and time consuming course. For me it was a challenging, but rewarding course. I learned a lot, both about R and about how to approach programming problems.

    I have no background in R and thus benefited a lot from this course. It took me quite a while to figure out the programming assignments. I wish the course could provide more baby programming assignments to practice for beginners like me.

    It is not easy for programming beginners. The course module itself is way too simple comparing with the assignment and quiz. Probably need to provide more instructions/ info/ explanation to the related modules for assignments/ quizzes.

    Hope there will be more reading materials (with elaborate explanation) offered to help the progression of this course. Sometimes I find it hard to solve the assignment problems although I have completed all the videos and swirl tasks.

    "R Programming" will really force you to dive deep into concepts. I am non-programming background but I liked the way course has been designed. At times, I felt frustrated and though of quitting but I held on and finally completed it.

    Content was interesting to me and much of it will be helpful in what I am doing. Course is not for a beginner. Also, some of the assignments didn't align well with reinforcing the lecture topics. Swirl is definitely worth the time.

    Apart from the theoretical aspect from the lecturer, everything else on this course is perfect and helped me to complete the course. It was quite boring at some part when long duration and continuous lectures took part without exams.

    Very useful insights on Rstudio. My only problem are some of the homeworks which seem to be harder compared with the low experience an average student will have by that time, this force you to look around for tips and ways of coding.

    Thanks a lot for such a wonderful training!

    The videos prepared are really good to understand basics of R especially for beginners. Just a suggestion, if you can add more examples or add example for each function, it would be great.

    very satisfying experience . I would recommend have a certain beginner's introduction and or background with R (some statistics might help too) . but It is an excellent choice for someone looking forward to step up his R-knowledge.

    This course is definitely a must for anyone and everyone who has not worked on R (doesn't know what R is about), but has some previous exposure to basic programming! I was satisfied with what I had learnt at the end of this course!

    I have zero experience in programming before taking this course however, assignments are hard to solve only if you isolate your concepts from the videos they prepared (Although it stumps me when I still can't figure the code out).

    The course is really good, intense, and ... hard ! I guess that more assignements in swirl are better to get people more used to the tool instead of just leaving them with a huge, deep Programming Assignement for them to complete.

    Este curso contiene una buena cantidad de temas muy relevantes y útiles. Sin embargo, las evaluaciones pueden ser más difíciles que lo que uno esperaría dados los contenidos del curso (videos y ejercicios prácticos). Recomendado.

    Video lectures don't cover all of the knowledge required for the quizzes. Seems like if there is a question on a quiz the details of the question should have been taught in the lectures or notes. Overall good experience though.
