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....

Very challenging, but good course. I've been programming in R for over a year, but there were still some things for me to pick up in this class. Assignments were a challenge, but satisfying to tackle.

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.

I've learned a lot in this short course.

It's not for the faint-hearted to be honest. Many concepts are deep and hard to grasp at first sight

Very good course to start one's data science journey and build strong basics of R. Swirl module particularly was a very good way to practice.

Challenging, but rewarding. I have been using R for years, and this is by far the best course on R Programming that I have ever come across.

Informative course with interactive practice questions, but it would be great if more hints/ help were given with syntax and extracting data

Nice and challenging! Thanks so far.

The assignments are somewhat hard, but not too hard. Forced me to sit down and think.

That's very good.

I've learned much about R Programming, and feel I have a solid base and am now far more comfortable to explore more within this application.

in conjunction with swirl this is a comprehensive starter kit for R. I already have some tools I can use in work (when they let me have it!)

Programming in R is different from programming in C and similar languages. After this course it is much easier to understand Python Pandas.

This course is very helpful for me. I also want to do other course and applied for financial aid but didn't get any message regarding this.

Los proyectos son muy duros y muy diferentes a lo que se presenta en los vídeos. Pero esa exigencia hace que se disfruten las actividades.

As the title suggests it is about programming in R. Not a lot of stress on all the built in functions, useful libraries, or plotting data.

The course progressed very rapidly. Only the basics of R programming were covered in the videos, but then the assignments were SUPER hard!

A very good course and discussion board is the greatest help where you got directions to which area you need to explore to find answers.
