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....

The content is superbly designer for a beginner. The Swirl assignments need to make compulsory. Infact they contributed more to the learning process. More Swirl contents will make the course richer.

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.

This course is basic but the fist necessary step for anyone who want to be a master. The more your practice, the more you will learn from this course.

A very good course. But i would have preferred much more exercises and may be instructor could have been a bit slow too. Overall I am quite satisfied.

The course is really good. But the peer evaluation is kind hard. If there has the notice to tell the student how to find the peer, that will be good!

Very well designed course covering almost all required aspects of R programming. It would be much better to add few demonstration of coding as well.

The good course!

But, actually, may be toooooo hard for people without previous programming experience. I struggled a lot while trying to complete it.

overall pretty solid. would love a bit more feedback and/or greater correlation between material and assignments. But overall nice introduction to R.

El curso se apoya mucho de la practica y de las diversas funciones en R para que el estudiante pueda aprender realmente, es muy dinamica y retadora.

I am not fully satisfied with the course content, but I truly appreciate 1) Swirl Exercises 2) Peer reviewed assignments and 3) Mentor's assistance!

Assignment 3, Q4 was exceptionally hard. Would've been good to have more easy questions leading up to it, as it was I felt dropped off the deep end.

Very good course. But the final test was too difficult. Almost impossible without external help for people like me with no experience in programming

Very good for knowledge and lots of material that's so helpful.It should be so nice if the instructors explains the assignment like coding section.

Great course. I would recommend more instructor participation and also ask that the instructors are more gentile in their approach to the students.

coursera videos for R-Programming is simple and more effective , going foreword , i will be expecting more example are given for each scenarios .

As a beginner, find the course work is a bit tricky compare to the lecture notes and examples went through. It has been challenging and rewarding.

I think homework are too difficult.

we should use the function which is not taught in the course.

and so, we have to rely the TIPS mentors give us.

Best platform for poor students to have grip on technical courses or those students who have scarce opportunities to learn.

Keep the good work up

Can be a little more explanatory..found the assignments little tough but they left me brain storming so I learnt by hit and trial at most places.

El curso es excelente sin embargo las asignaciones sobrepasan muchas veces en dificultad el contenido de las clases. Igualmente excelente curso.

Excellent course. Will be very helpful in the future.

However I found the pace a litlle too fast to proper assimilation of programming resources.

I think it was a good course, but the examples are basic while the assesments were pretty hard. Maybe it'd be splitted in two different courses.

Great course...that is, if you want to learn R. Some of the last assignments were a bit hard to crack and required some self-study on your own.

Slight gap between the swirl assignments and the programming assignments. Needed to google additional techniques to accomplish the course work.

Very well elaborated. Swirl is an amazing way to teach (even though is somewhat easy). Great resources.

The tests could have been harder though.

Assignments can be made better. They should increase in level of difficulty , rather than making them quite tough for first time R programmers.
