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!

"R Programming" forces you to dive in deep.

These skills serve as a strong basis for the rest of the data science specialization.

Material is in depth, but presented clearly. Highly recommended!

Good course content. But gained more from the course text book and Swirl() exercises than the instructor videos.

Course content and Assignments are not equivalent to each other. Please try to maintain the standard. Thank you.

I learned a lot in this course but found the assignments far too advanced for the subject matter we were taught.

I am happy with what I learned in the course but there is a gap between what is taught and the assignment given

Very light course if you have previous experience programming. I expected there to be a lot more hands-on work.

It's ok that the instructor always talks fast, but he stammered a lot. Wish he could speak everything fluently.

The course should cover more R Packages and their usages, to bridge the gap between tutorials and Assignments.

Is weird trying learning to program in R without ever programmed before. even before learning to manage data.

Need way more content, and accesibility to begginers, gap between theory and practical exercises is too big!

I think the course will be much more helpful if the explanations are provided for each assignment and quiz.

Lectures and notes were not satisfactory. They weren't sufficient to do the weekly programming assignments.

The course needs an update. Really poor presentation of the material although a lot of things are covered.

Good content overall but programming assignment requires deeper insights into syntax that were not covered

Assignments are a huge step up in difficulty compared to lectures. It is like there are lectures missing.

I felt some assignment required more knowledge than the course had offered. Overall this is a good course

its good and still more programming problems can be discussed to ease the learners to dive interest in R.

Much of the material is learned via googling. Do not look to the course videos to be enough to go on.

While the lessons are good, there is a large difficulty spike with a few of the course assignments.

I wish there were more in-depth exercises at an intermediate level before what we got in the exams.
