About the Course

In this course you will learn how to program in R and how to use R for effective data analysis. You will learn how to install and configure software necessary for a statistical programming environment and describe generic programming language concepts as they are implemented in a high-level statistical language. The course covers practical issues in statistical computing which includes programming in R, reading data into R, accessing R packages, writing R functions, debugging, profiling R code, and organizing and commenting R code. Topics in statistical data analysis will provide working examples....

This is course is probably my favorite out of the Data Science: Foundations using R specialization. There was plenty of opportunity to practice and further develop by burgeoning R programming skill.

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

The last coding assignment was way beyond what was taught in the lectures, the syntax search eats up most of the assignment solving

the project assignments are complex and doesn't relate or have enough coherence to what is being taught in that particular module.

Lectures and the homework are not quite relevant. The instructor explains so little on programming, but the assignment are tough.

O curso é bem interessante porém existem algumas atividades que necessitam de um conhecimento maior do que o adquirido no curso.

Disconnect between lectures and assignments. requires significant amount of extra curricular research to succeed in assignments

Lectures were too quick at times and many of the assignments had little to nothing to do with what we were learning that week.

If you are beginner for R programming,I suggest don't enroll this course. This course is for someone who is experience in R

Seems outdated (content is 5 or 6 years old). Assignments are challenging as the videos and readings cover only the basics.

Very challenging assignments! You learn a lot. Please, give more complex exercices to prepare before the final assignment.

The course content is fine however, some assignments really surprised me. To the course presenter, keep up the good work.

Assignments are really usefull, but there is a lack of content relation between them and the content of the course itself

The video lectures were different and the assignments are very high level. Very difficult to understand the assignments.

Very hard to understand. Needs either really huge amount of time to self-learn, or familiarity with programming language

The course lecture was ok, Swirl was pretty good. The assignment was confusing and the instructions were not very clear.

Course lectures are good but course assignments and quizzes are sometimes too difficult and not covered in the lessons.

Not practical for beginners. Probably useful if you already have extensive experience with other programming languages.

Huge gap between theory and programming assignments, however quizzes are interesting and require some time to complete.

Be cautious if you haven't done any programming before... you'll learn with this course but it will be kinda painful.

I think the jump in difficulty from week 1 to week 2 is discouraging to many students with little to no R experience.

The course was more theoretical with less examples, something which can be added. Else a good experience with Swirl

Assignments were too advanced and with the knowledge from the lectures it is not easy to figure out the assignments.

Good course. I would request that the instructors work through modules in real time that are similar to the quizzes.

Only beginner level understanding. more examples could help. Lexical and Dynamic scoping concepts not really clear.

The lectures are good but the gap between exercises and assignments is enormous. I cannot recommend to a beginner

Challenging, but it gives a good idea on rprogramming, should be taken with other learning tools outside coursera
