"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.

The instruction for the GITHUB is very unclear. I was confused with the 40 digit hash number so it would be great if you can revise that exercise.

This is an excellent course, however, you need to dedicate at least 3 hour a day to complete it in one week if you have experience in programming.

Good course for intermediate coders who are learning a new coding language. This course might be a little bit more difficult for beginner coders.

It's a great course. I just think the Programming Assignment used to be more dificult in reation to the contents of classes, but I recommend it.

A great way to get into the vast ecosystem that is R! I learned a lot, but most importantly I learned enough to know how much I don't yet know.
