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.

Very challenging, but good course. I've been programming in R for over a year, but there were still some things for me to pick up in this class. Assignments were a challenge, but satisfying to tackle.

One of the worst courses I've taken. No practical application and transcripts that look like they were written by a machine.

Not for new programmers. The lecture material is also not logically organized and does not correspond to the assignments.

R tutorials and assignments are great - however, had to spend more time figuring out Git than I spent on R assignments...

They don't give enough inputs and instructions to complete the assignments, unless they could offer addicional material.

I found the jump in difficulty for the first assignment too great. This seems to be a view reflected elsewhere.

The instructions were not satisfactory, and there is a large gap between the assignment and the skills taught.

Most of the portion is just theory with very less hands-on sessions. So boring to listen to all the concepts.

This course was so convoluted and not practical that it made me lose complete interest in the specialization.

Fix the assignments so they match the course content. This is unfair to the people who pay for this service.

This course presumes you are a programmer to begin with. I tried to take the class to learn how to program.

The course does not cover for beginner students. Assignments and tests are level apart from learning.
