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....

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!

Really interesting course. The interactive coding sessions with swirl are especially useful. Would be great, if you provided sample solutions for the programming assignments, in particular for week 4.

Very light course if you have previous experience programming. I expected there to be a lot more hands-on work.

It's ok that the instructor always talks fast, but he stammered a lot. Wish he could speak everything fluently.

The course should cover more R Packages and their usages, to bridge the gap between tutorials and Assignments.

Is weird trying learning to program in R without ever programmed before. even before learning to manage data.

Need way more content, and accesibility to begginers, gap between theory and practical exercises is too big!

I think the course will be much more helpful if the explanations are provided for each assignment and quiz.

Lectures and notes were not satisfactory. They weren't sufficient to do the weekly programming assignments.

The course needs an update. Really poor presentation of the material although a lot of things are covered.

Good content overall but programming assignment requires deeper insights into syntax that were not covered

Assignments are a huge step up in difficulty compared to lectures. It is like there are lectures missing.

I felt some assignment required more knowledge than the course had offered. Overall this is a good course

its good and still more programming problems can be discussed to ease the learners to dive interest in R.

the presentations are very hard to follow, it requires a lot of extra time reading the professor's book

Much of the material is learned via googling. Do not look to the course videos to be enough to go on.

examples are way too easy compared to the disproportionate difficulty of the programming assignments

While the lessons are good, there is a large difficulty spike with a few of the course assignments.

I wish there were more in-depth exercises at an intermediate level before what we got in the exams.

Too big the gap between lectures and assignments. Only partially filled by the task of the mentors.

There seem to be a big gap on what was taught and was was given in the quizes. Overall it was okay.

Assignments are far more challenging than they should be. Course content is good introductory to R.

Could do a better job of teaching more of the fundamentals involved in the Programming Assignments.
