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!

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.

Challenging. Its a plus if you have a background on PHP, Python, and Java and not just SAS and SPSS. Otherwise, it would be a steep learning curve in R.

La primera vez que lo tome significo un impulso en mi carrera profesional; efectivamente iniciandome como un programador en R, y no solo como un usuario

Great course for beginners! Informative, well-structured and straightforward. The "SWIRL" exercises and the introduction to GitHub are also very useful.

Awesome, but you need to put hard work into it if you're completely new to R. Assignment 3 will kick your butt and you need to be ready for it; revise!

This provides a solid foundation in R. I have a lot of programming experience, but I still learned a lot about just how useful R is for data analysis.

Pretty detailed. Programming exercises are worth doing in detail. That's when we learn a lot. Swirl() exercises are also great for easy understanding.

GREAT for learning the BASICS of R. Nothing too advanced. Definitely need further classes to use R for anything useful that cannot be done in Excel.

This course is great, but the assignments are harder than I expected, it seems that there are not enough connections between assignments and lectures.

High level of difficulty, which met my expectations.

Really challenging to complete, but simultaneously excellent for an induction into the R package.

The last assignment was very tough, not for the faint of heart. There were some useful methodologies in the discussion forums but it was not enough.

Great introduction to R. Maybe not for beginers.

I have learned a lot. Esasy sort videos with just the necesary things to advance in r programming.

Course is good but I found the assignments to be a little complex than the course's content. Although it's altogether a great learning experience.
