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....

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!

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.

Great course. Challenging and requires some independent problem solving, but from my experience, that's the way it should be. Fun and interesting as well!

Very good introductory curse of R language, teaches you everything you need to start your own projects, shows you resources to start learning on your own.

Thank you for course! I really appreciate it, I've learnt basics of R. But I'd expect that there are more excercises and more features of R be highilghted

the course is nice and the lectures are easy to understand but what's bothersome is the skill gaps between what's taught and what's given for assignments

Programming assignment is not fully covered in the lectures, prefer to have subject metter completely covered instead of searching for everything online.

It is a very hard class for anyone who has never programmed before, in order to complete the assignments you have to look for a lot of extra information.

Needs more training and practice for the writing of functions assignments and quizes, it's very hard for someone like me with no programming experience.

Very good course. Programming assignments were enjoyable and challenging. They may be a little difficult for someone without a programming background

The content was great, especially the swirl() library. The instructions were a little confusing at times, but the online advisors helped to sort it out.

Really great course! I wish though that the programming assignments were more hands-on and that common packages used in industry e.g. dplyr were taught

the level of the material and the level of the tasks did not match, I had to turn to other sources (such as udemy) to successfully complete the course

Good course overall. The course would be better if the learning activities better prepared you for the difficulty of the final programming assignment.

I think the course content is insufficient to handle with the programs assignments. However, it's a very challenging course, therefore I recommend it.

This course is basic but the fist necessary step for anyone who want to be a master. The more your practice, the more you will learn from this course.

A very good course. But i would have preferred much more exercises and may be instructor could have been a bit slow too. Overall I am quite satisfied.

The course is really good. But the peer evaluation is kind hard. If there has the notice to tell the student how to find the peer, that will be good!

Very well designed course covering almost all required aspects of R programming. It would be much better to add few demonstration of coding as well.

The good course!

But, actually, may be toooooo hard for people without previous programming experience. I struggled a lot while trying to complete it.

overall pretty solid. would love a bit more feedback and/or greater correlation between material and assignments. But overall nice introduction to R.

El curso se apoya mucho de la practica y de las diversas funciones en R para que el estudiante pueda aprender realmente, es muy dinamica y retadora.

Assignment 3, Q4 was exceptionally hard. Would've been good to have more easy questions leading up to it, as it was I felt dropped off the deep end.

Very good course. But the final test was too difficult. Almost impossible without external help for people like me with no experience in programming

Very good for knowledge and lots of material that's so helpful.It should be so nice if the instructors explains the assignment like coding section.

Great course. I would recommend more instructor participation and also ask that the instructors are more gentile in their approach to the students.
