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.

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

Swirl package really gave a lot. The lectures I find to be at times a bit slow-paced. All in all a great course.

More work has to be put upon working with examples that would help solve quizzes and not only depend only swirl

There was some mismatches between what was thought in the lectures and what was tested as part of assignment.

If the lecture could be practical (i.e... lectures + working it on R console), I would learn it even better.
