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.

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

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.

I am a big fan of Professor Roger! He is great! Somewhere I find motivation to work so much harder in the courses! Thank you Professor!

I enjoyed the course. It challenged me more than I expected. Be sure to begin your assignments early. Don't wait until the last day!

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.
