"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!

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!

The lessons were too long and overwhelming to those who are new to the course. But it is useful.

It's very good for a first time programming in R course, but it needs more than 4 weeks I think.

Assignments were tougher than what were taught in videos/lectures, but that is how it should be.

R programming is a good course but it took me time ~ 4 months to complete as it is new for me.

It is a very worthwhile class, but I think the assignment is a little harder than the lecture.

The course is good for someone with no background of programming. But it is not very rigorous.
