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.

It's very good for a first time programming in R course, but it needs more than 4 weeks I think.

Assignments were tougher than what were taught in videos/lectures, but that is how it should be.
