"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.

Learning sessions and the assignments had a huge gulf in between. But in a way, it was good that it was challenging.

Great to learn. But some of the assignment instructions were not clear enough, and took a lot of time to figure out.

This course tells me basic functions but if we want to learn it more specialised or proficient, it may let you down.

Slides and videos are a bit insufficient in order to finish course projects.

Apart from that, this course is awesome!

The only problem was the gap between assignments' difficulty and lecture videos. But assignments were really good.

Overall it's good. And I think PPT may be much more helpful if there is a video of professor, and some animations.

Great course overall. Basic principles for using R are covered. It could cover a bit more advanced tasks though.

Course is good start in R programming. Questions in the quiz may be dynamic. i.e. should not be same every time.

More work has to be put upon working with examples that would help solve quizzes and not only depend only swirl
