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.

"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!

I feel this course should be called "Base R Programming" since tidyverse is becoming the new standard for R programming in data science.

Excellent introduction to R. I really liked the "swirl" interactive portion of the course. The coding assignments were very good also.

Learned many things and many R tricks from this course. Discussed interesting topics I wouldn't have found or thought to search myself.

The format of this course, especially the assignments, forces you to go beyond the normal "memorize, regurgitate" ... loved the format.

Great courses design, assignments are much harder than things taught in video. The swirl lesson, though not required, is quite helpful.

The course is challenging but worthy. The forum is a good place for me to discuss or view other people's problem and relative help.
