Excellent course! I already knew a lot about R - but this class helped me solidify what I already knew, taught me lots of new tricks, and now I have a certificate that says I know `something' about R!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

The Gap between the Lectures and the Assignments is ridiculous. The Assignments are way to hard for Programming Beginners like me and they only frustrated me.

There is a Massive gap between lectures and assignments. The Instructor is not really engaging in this course, just reading class material is all he did

No se pone absoluto interesés en la progresión del alumno. Las explicaciones son extremadamente escuetas y las tares de una dificultad desproporcionada.

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.

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

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

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.

Assignments were too difficult and totally not relevant to learning materials. I believe alot of work needs to be input on course structure.

The bridge between the class lectures and assignment was too much for a beginner. Please give questions based on what is taught in class.

This course was confusing, and the quizzes required knowledge outside of the readings and lectures. This is why I cannot learn online.

Lectures are very boring and designed in a weird way. He is simply reading the book that he wrote and no real practice was ever done.

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

One of the worst courses I've taken. No practical application and transcripts that look like they were written by a machine.

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.
