For anyone planning to set their foot in the vast field of data analytics and R, this course is what will set the momentum and actually make you fond of programming in R by the end of the course.

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

Not the best course for beginners. Too much theory and no implementation. Also the assignments were impossible for a beginner.

Not for new programmers. The lecture material is also not logically organized and does not correspond to the assignments.

R tutorials and assignments are great - however, had to spend more time figuring out Git than I spent on R assignments...

this course is not as i was expecting it. There are several points that are not covered and it's not properly described.

They don't give enough inputs and instructions to complete the assignments, unless they could offer addicional material.

it was too fast for me and i was expecting to study R programming from scratch..and many things were very fast.

I found the jump in difficulty for the first assignment too great. This seems to be a view reflected elsewhere.

The instructions were not satisfactory, and there is a large gap between the assignment and the skills taught.

Most of the portion is just theory with very less hands-on sessions. So boring to listen to all the concepts.

This course was so convoluted and not practical that it made me lose complete interest in the specialization.

Fix the assignments so they match the course content. This is unfair to the people who pay for this service.

This course presumes you are a programmer to begin with. I tried to take the class to learn how to program.

The course does not cover for beginner students. Assignments and tests are level apart from learning.

Assignments do not match up well with the lessons and the lessons are BAD. They are not educational.

You can't do assignments using the lecture materials. Need A LOT of time to finish this course.

There is a huge disconnect between the lectures and what is asked in the homework assignments.

Gap between the theory and the practical assignment is huge. For a beginner is not an option!

This is not a beginner course. Much too high level for someone with no coding experience.

This course is not for beginner. If you look for beginner course for R, look else where.
