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.

It was good. Some topics are complex and maybe they require more explanations, for example when you create functions.

Learning sessions and the assignments had a huge gulf in between. But in a way, it was good that it was challenging.

Great to learn. But some of the assignment instructions were not clear enough, and took a lot of time to figure out.

This course tells me basic functions but if we want to learn it more specialised or proficient, it may let you down.

Slides and videos are a bit insufficient in order to finish course projects.

Apart from that, this course is awesome!

The only problem was the gap between assignments' difficulty and lecture videos. But assignments were really good.

Overall it's good. And I think PPT may be much more helpful if there is a video of professor, and some animations.

Course is good start in R programming. Questions in the quiz may be dynamic. i.e. should not be same every time.

I am experienced in C++/C etc and some 50% of the videos i had to rewind.

The assignments are really good though
