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.

There is a large gap between the course material and the assignments. Requires A LOT of extra research to complete if you do not have prior R experience.

Nice course, but the gap between video lessons and programming assignments was too wide for me. Would have loved more guidance towards the assignments.

Course content was good, but assignments were way too hard and not related to course content. I have to spend long hours online to do the assignments.

more programming assignments and long course duration to introduce a step-by-step learning about the features of R can be done to facilitate learning.

Overall good, but some major information missing for completing assignments, + very hard to understand the speech of the lecturer Peng in some cases.

I think this course could have been twice as long with all the material that was covered in it, especially compared to the Data Scientist's Toolbox.

To less MP to understand what's the core processing method in R, but over all a nice language course for someone who has learned CS courses before.

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.

O curso é bem interessante porém existem algumas atividades que necessitam de um conhecimento maior do que o adquirido no curso.
