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.

I found this course challenging but very interesting and useful! Still in the dark mostly about the true purpose of lexical scoping in practical situations.

Swirl exercises are simply brilliant! Perhaps you can add more challenging problems

The assignments push you to research, which I think is a major plus point

Great course! R syntax can be tricky, and it often took a bit of googling and experimentation to complete the exercises. But I also learned a lot doing so.
