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!

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.

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.
