    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.

    Worth it. The final assignment was a great challenge, the course seems to cover some good concepts of R, and provide a good base for those looking to learn even more.

    Really useful course. I strongly recommend to spend time on the programming exercises, specially is is long time since your last programming task (e.g. > 10 years)

    I had experience with R in a class at my university, and I learned a lot in this course that my class didn't cover. The assignments were more challenging as well.

    The level increases very very fast. For people starting from scratch (as me) will take the to complete the assignments. Challenging, but overall of great quality!

    Exellent for beginner.

    I literally didn't know anything about R, and was not familiar with programming.

    This course gave me a step for advanced data programming.

    Very hard course but very useful, I think, lecture videos totally disconnected from the assignments. One will have to dig deep to understand the basic concepts.

    Great course to get to know inside and out R programming and not just for quantitative analysis (for me) but also getting to know how R used across other users.

    Excellent basic course, although I understand that people with no previous programming experience might struggle with it (and even some old programmers like me)

    The course was great! The only thing that was a bit difficult was the caching in R. An introductory video on this topic would be very beneficial. Best regards
