Learner Reviews & Feedback for R Programming by Johns Hopkins University
About the Course
Top reviews
"R Programming" forces you to dive in deep.\n\nThese skills serve as a strong basis for the rest of the data science specialization.\n\nMaterial is in depth, but presented clearly. Highly recommended!
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 assignments are too hard for the lessons that we had it made me frustrating, after week 2 I completely lost and didn't know what should I do .
I really don't recommend this course for beginners
By Yashar A
•This course is the worst course that I have taken so far. I am not happy with the course content and the way that the lecturer uses to teach this course. I really want to refund my money!
By Leonardo A
•There is a wide gap between the lectures and the practice. Its clear that the video material is completely inadequate and insufficient for the course. A poor introduction to programming.
By Jonathan H
•The jump from the lecture material to the assignments was way too much. In order to complete the assignments, one needs to spend lots of time learning things not covered in the course.
By Dragana J
•The course content does not match the material you are tested on in the assignments and quizzes. DO NOT take this course if you are looking for an introductory level coding course.
By Stacey M
•Assignments don't match the lectures at all. Lectures are dry and simple and don't help you understand how to apply the topic to a real life situation. Don't waste your money.
By Deleted A
•Week 2 is an unreasonably difficult jump from Week 1. This course's beginner friendly lectures do not align with the level of understanding needed to complete the assignments.
By Juan A
•This course was labelled as for beginners but was in no way for beginners. The instructors were completely absent. The course material did not reflect the assignments at all.
By Matthew G
•Very hard for a beginner. Lacks the slow build up I needed. Missing an explanation about a comma cost me about 4 hours. The assignments are brutal which encourages cheating.
By Jeff T
•homework was poorly structured and not adequately discussed in the lecture videos. Had to dig through several buried links to make any progress on the homework assignments.
By Joe C
•The assignments used knowledge WAY above that taught in both Swirl and the lectures, i managed to complete through a lot of research but this has been incredibly tough!
By RUSHABH P Z
•The level of assignments does not match the level of the course. They are very hard on a beginner. Some practice in the right direction could do help the beginner.
By Alonso S N
•It's too time consuming, not for a newbie. The classes are pointless, cause they are pretty easy and then the homework is ULTRA-DIFFICULT, classes are pointless.
By Marion d
•no help no teacher....it seems we are not here to learn but only to pay and challenged!! very very disapointing for a course that it sells for begninner!!
By Miguel I E
•No se pone absoluto interesés en la progresión del alumno. Las explicaciones son extremadamente escuetas y las tares de una dificultad desproporcionada.
By Sailaja M
•R training and coding is not good. Explanation is good but assignments are very different and one needs to self learn a lot of R coding by themselves.
By Mustafa F A
•the worst course for someone has no knowledge about programming, if you don't have experience in any programming language .. don't take that course
By Aharon C
•Lecturer is very poor, explains very little and the assignments he give have no connection whatsoever to what was taught. waste of money and energy
By Xavier A R T
•Es el curso más aburrido que he tomado, no puede ser que algo netamente práctico lo hagan netamente teórico. pésimo. no voy a terminar este curso.
By Ahsan K
•Assignments were too difficult and totally not relevant to learning materials. I believe alot of work needs to be input on course structure.
By Prutha L
•insufficient study materials that dont cover quizzes and assignments content. had to give up after week 2.
do NOT recommend for beginners.
By Alhassan K H A
•course need to be better organised. more information should be taught in videos.
more explanation should be given prior to assignments
By Mary R
•This course was confusing, and the quizzes required knowledge outside of the readings and lectures. This is why I cannot learn online.
By Mahmoud M
•im struggling for 10 days to resolve an assignment showing it should be started in some where where i have no idea where is that where
By Praveen D
•Very poor ,frustrating and so so tough assignments in respective of the knowlegde they give you in video lectures or swirl exercises.
