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.

I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of this course. For a beginner, the Swirl exercises are incredibly helpful and I was able to build confidence in working with R because of them. Thank you!

As the title suggests it is about programming in R. Not a lot of stress on all the built in functions, useful libraries, or plotting data.

The course progressed very rapidly. Only the basics of R programming were covered in the videos, but then the assignments were SUPER hard!

A very good course and discussion board is the greatest help where you got directions to which area you need to explore to find answers.

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

The format of this course, especially the assignments, forces you to go beyond the normal "memorize, regurgitate" ... loved the format.

I felt this course had the right amount of depth for the time provided. It wasn't overwhelming but was still deep enough to be useful.
