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....

"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!

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.

Most of the instruction is top notch. But there are a few areas that are skimped on. Perhaps those are taught in other courses?

I think the video is much easier than the quizzes and assignments. There is a big gap between the weekly video and the quizzes.

more detailed examples should be put in videos. Swirl is a good option but learning it first time will make a great difference

The course is great overall, but the assignments are far difficult and hardly relevent to what are taught through the videos.

Need more resources to learn about the projects. The resources are online but extra exercises will help to sharp the skills.

This course is very good and a medium level for beginners.You will need use many functions that no have in the explanations.

Excellent cours, bien expliqué, avec un petit bémol sur la difficulté des devoirs (où il faut écrire des fonctions) !

Merci !

It's a good introductory course for R programming but it's a bit basic if you already have some experience programming in R

Videos and quizzes are very good. Final assignments for each week are VERY hard and differ a lot from the course material.

Bom curso mas poderia ter alguns vídeos ensinando mais sobre funções e outros parâmetros, pois é bem fraco as vídeo aulas.

Explanation of the course is wonderful but extra practical exercises are needed. SWIRL in not enough from my point of view

Nice introductional course to R! I was only missing some illustrations that would enhance the understanding of the matter.

It is well-organized.

I don't know why but compared with the lectures, I prefer the swirl tool they use in this course...

It gives you the basic idea of R coding. Swirl is very good. Homework 3 is a little bit tricky.

Overall it's a good class.

Good course overall, but the lessons weren't in part with the programming assignments. Simple lessons, hard assignments.

I can't add a new thread in forum, it always implies me that I need to add more description in the body of the question.

I learned alot during the course. Not only the videos are good, I find the swirl programming part also very interesting.

Assignments and video contents are miles apart, but explanation in videos is very very useful to examine on self enquiry

There is a huge gap between lectures and assignments. This course is unfriendly to people without programming background

It demands you a lot of time, if you wanna be challenged this course is a good idea (if you aren't a expert programmer)

Can move too quickly at times, but is very informative. I have learned more than I expected in a short period of time.

Good course to start learning R,but still missing some explanations in the lectures regarding programming assessments.

It was good. Some topics are complex and maybe they require more explanations, for example when you create functions.
