One of the most difficult courses in the whole programme. From my point of view it is very important, but not so well explained. I had to go through other training sessions in order to understand the concept based on numerous practical examples and then return to Coursera to finish it up.

Slightly better than the Statistical Inference course, but many of the same technical and delivery defects persist. With an otherwise high quality program, I recommend re-producing the inference and regression lectures to increase the overall value of the curriculum.

I love the content but:

imprecision (a lot),

lack of explanation

...

for one of the most difficult subject in the specialization.

Last commit/update for the video from the teacher 1/2 year ago: are the materials update?

I would like to propose that instead of putting the optional reading materials at the back, it should be put up front and mandatory. Else we can't follow the videos

Should cover a lot of dfificuties when the model assumptions are violated and should be for a longer time or having a second course about this theme.

Needs more practical examples. Could be rerecorded. I love mathematical theory but past week 2 it is really too theoretical, in my opinion.

way to much emphasis on non-data science. This one course covers more information that the rest of the courses combined..

Appears more like a revision for those who already know the content than geared towards those new to the subject.

Very difficult. Needs homework problems guided by videos like Statistical Inference coarse to make easier.

To fast pace and missing lot of content to make this lesson enjoyable!!!

Difficult, fast peaced and not well explained. Requires a lot of work.

The instructor is not good and doesn't explain things clearly.

Some topics that are important, are obviated

Coursera keeps changing my rating. Not cool.

not effective for new learnners

The course is essentially just a review of formulas with very little intuition explained to the beginner. It was necessary to use a collection of outside material from other courses and readings to learn the concepts. This course needs to be completely redone with a focus on developing a student's intuition for the material and then support this intuition with basic examples that build as the course progresses. A fundamental demonstration of how to use R to work through regression models (starting from square one) should be added so that this becomes a self-contained course. As it currently stands it is a collection of poorly integrated slides and concepts that serve to confuse the student more than educate. Other classes teach this material infinitely better.

I was really disappointed with this course. I took the other courses from Brian Caffo and truly enjoyed them. For the previous courses, I've always used the books and they helped me tremendously to be able to comprehend the material. There is a book for Regression Models but but it's a real mess. It feels like a draft that no one cared to take a second look. There is a bunch of wrong code and typos. The explanation doesn't go as far as it should. I had to resort to many different sources just to be able to get by the course. I hope the instructors review this course soon because it does not have the same quality as others. If they don't review it, don't bother paying for it. Try learning Regression Models elsewhere.

Content and quizz are not aligned.

Poor student community.

Do not pay for this course, just follow the swirl and/or get some tuto about regressions.

Very little depth. I don't recommend this if you don't already have background in statistics or R. I really didn't learn anything. I mostly just gamed the quizzes and projects.

Very poor - the worst of the specialization courses by far. The lectures are confusing and poorly presented. If you want to understand regression you'll have to look elsewhere.

Terrible. If you want to learn about regression, even in R, go elsewhere. This course damages the brands of Johns Hopkins and Coursera...anybody heard of quality control?

This is the whole course that kind of discouraged me persuing data science field... i wish i wish i wish there was different instructor

Not worth it for the bucks.

Instructor has tried his best to make no sense of the subject.

I would be happy for a refund.

Poorly designed, executed and instructed. Too much is left off the materials.

To be honest I don't think this is worth the money.
