This course was very helpful to understand the basics of R-programming and to apply it in large datas. Also to draw plots, histogram are another features of this course. The practical exercises done in swirl were very helpful to understand the coding. So don't miss the programming practice in swirl.

Thank you to the Course teachers!!!

This course is REALLY not for the faint hearted.

The forum is full of post with titles such as 'Feel like giving up', and replies like 'DONT GIVE UP!!.'

This course is obviously not for people without programming background. In the course they will teach you simple things like 2+2, but the assignments will require sin 2 / log2 * exp2^2

Amazing Tutorial and course. The methods they use are simple but the lack of exercises in programming, its a downside. In my programming experience, it's needed more practical examples. Swirl is one side of the course that helps the user understand what R programming is, but in my opinion, different examples or projects are needed.

There is a big deep from the quizzes and the Swirl exercises to the projects. A few more hints would make them more useful. Such as the actual methods to use to solve a problem etc... This is a beginning courses and they are way too difficult without more guidance. And frankly, the discussions are way too confusing and cluttered.

In general, a good course, gives the basics of programming in R. But you need to independently look for additional material to complete some tasks. Perhaps for those who have no experience in programming at all, the course will seem a little complicated, but quite passable. Pay attention to the level of difficulty of the course.

This course is quite good to learn the R language, especially since it introduces you to the swirl package!

However there's a noticeable gap between what is taught throughout the week and the quizzes and assignments, with the latter being considerably more advanced than the former so keep in mind that this course is challenging.

El curso fue muy bueno, pero ni el libro de la clase ni los videos tenian relación con las evaluaciones. Me hubiese gustado más explicaciones a problemas complejos. De manera que pudiera comprender con mayor habilidad las asignaciones de programación.

El curso me ayudó a aprendermucho más de R, estoy muy feliz por eso. Gracias

A very engaging class. The information provided is essential and the assignments help you grow. Two things to note that kept this from 5 stars: video lectures were not practical enough and did not encourage student participation, while assignments were not closely connected to the material covered in the respective week.

Good course. Definitely do the swirl exercise. that is where the real value is. slides can be improved. certainly voice over them can be improved... really hard to listen to at times with the so much (er, ah, um, oh). Improve examples on slides, they could be made much clearer. Really learnt it when I did the swirl

I would say 3-4 stars. Week 3 was kind of dense really. The assignment was also a little over my head not due to the complexity but certain aspects were not covered in length. Week 4 was good though, and it was enjoyable. Overall a really nice introduction to R and I would certainly recommend this course to my friends.

The course takes more time and is more informative than the Toolbox course. The material in the videos is quite more basic than the material in the quizzes and assignments, but that should be expected. The only improvement I would suggest is to give lecture material on the deeper concepts involved in the assignments.

Overall I enjoyed this course. I think the one point of feedback I had was that the examples of functions provided in lecture were overly simplistic. The simplicity of these examples made some of the programming assignments needlessly difficult as there wasn't much of a bridge to get from lecture to assignment.

I had attempted this course a few years back but gave up very quickly. I don't know if I have changed (learned a little bit of R from other courses) or the course has but I now really learned a lot. As a novice programmer I am totally amazed when I get one of my programmes to work and give me the correct output.

Good introduction to R programming. As I came in with no prior experience in any programming language I struggled quite a bit with some of the assignments but overall a very well structured course. The interactive learning with swirl is also very useful and I think very well suited to teach somebody the basics.

I am a social scientist and I am a beginner in data science. I learnt a lot of R, but somehow I felt like the course sometimes had big spaces between what was been taught and the week tasks. I wish it was more a step by step course, like Swirl. I really loved Swirl I think I'm still using it in the future.

Great course to get fundamental knowledge on R programming. However, the tutor fails to describe certain areas well, therefore hard to understand. And there is a significant gap between the knowledge we get from the course and the assignments. Assignments should be designed to match the level of teaching.

I think more guidance could have been provided on the Lexical Scoping coding assignment (eg some annotation of the example code to help us understand what it is doing), but otherwise I thought this was a really well organized course and I learned a lot from doing the programming assignments and quizzes.

A little too much for a beginner especially the assignments. had to use functions not thought in the course. need to create a course that is veered for total beginners. Most classes are good but some classes were too difficult to understand and the lecturer would just flyby and it got very complicated .

Someone without the programming background will find it difficult to cope & complete this course within the stipulated time .

Also the Week 2 programming assignment was way too complex to attempt with what has been taught in that week . Probably that assignment should have been kept for the last week

Peer reviewed assignment was tough for someone who has not used Github, but challenging and interesting. I took a week to finish this course besides work. So overall, it was not very time consuming. Since I had sufficient experiences in R, it was rather easy. But I think it is helpful for a beginner.

This was a good class. The lectures were interesting. The swirl package was fun for the most part. And the message boards were actually informative and helpful.The actual programs we were required to write could be used for other things in business or health science, and therefore were practical.

Meaningful course but the videos and homework are sometimes not tightly related, so I felt it a little tough and spent many time working on it and trying to figure it out by myself. The forum is useful when I found some problems. All in all, it's still a valuable course for programming beginners!

En la lección de debug faltó profundizar. Estuve unos minutos intentando detener el proceso hasta que el computador quedó totalmente paralizado. (GT:In the debug lesson it was not necessary to go deeper. I spent a few minutes trying to stop the process until the computer was completely freeze)

The Swirl practice exercises are great, they're optional but I would highly recommend doing those.

The graded assignments are pretty difficult considering only the basic concepts are discussed in the lectures, you definitely need to do some trial and error in R to figure out what you're doing.

This course clears up concepts related to R programming, and makes use of well-designed R practice sessions, quizzes, and programming assignments. You are expected to solve the assignments on your own, and if you are truly a beginner with no previous R experience you may find it challenging.
