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!

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.

The gap between teachings and assignment is quite large. This is definitely not beginner-friendly.

The pace of talking of some of the intutor is too fast, if slow down a little bit, will be better.

It was very difficult for me to follow the exercises, since I don't have a programming background.

Some good information, and a good course platform, but I didn't feel all the parts fit together.

Assignments are not good representations of course materials. The Instructor speaks too fast.

It's ok... they get a bit into some R stuff that seems archaic once you use the tidyverse...

It is not a beginner friendly course. Learn R from somewhere else and then take this course.

I'd say good if you are well versed in R already BUT for me...a little too much too soon.
