Great course for people who work with data a lot. This course actually helps in looking at data in its basic forms, helps understand transformations better, and gives ideas about playing with it.

A great introduction to slightly more complicated R programming. Basic concepts covered well and it builds nicely to the point where you feel like you can apply your knowledge to real world examples

Wide course on R and perfect introduction to its world. Need quite a bit of effort for non programers

This course is quite hard if you don't have some programming basics. Otherwise it is very fulfilling.

Course assignment was too difficult. Course material was not enough to finish the assignment itself.

The course is easy and fun but other 3rd party connections of this course to git hub make it harder.

It was very good, but the programming assignments weren't clear enough to someone new in programming

A good course covering the basics of R, but thought the speed was a bit too high for a few concepts.

Course was good but i think more information should be added given the importance of this language .

Challenging for those without programming experience. But with hard work and forum, you can do it.

One problem is that the programming assignments are not much related to the corresponding lecture.

I think as new programmers we should get a bit more hints while doing the programming assignments

The lectures are very informative and the exams are challenging, at least for a beginner like me.

I think some programming assignment could not be solved based on the lessons thaught previously.

The lessons were too long and overwhelming to those who are new to the course. But it is useful.

It's very good for a first time programming in R course, but it needs more than 4 weeks I think.

Very good foundational course. The assignments are tough and they set you thinking and learning.

Assignments were tougher than what were taught in videos/lectures, but that is how it should be.

i think the course could have been extended to more than 4 weeks just to engage in more practice

Some of the weeks do not give anywhere near the needed information to complete the assignments!
