Fantastic course... Unfortunately, not too many people registered, it's tough to get your assignments graded. The program is the great continuation to the 10 course R data science specialization...

Useful programming exercises to guide learning the basic elements of R packages. Also glad that I got my assignments graded within a week following submission (thought it would take much longer).

(1)-This course materials need despertely to be accompanied with tutorial videos. I used several tutorials videos on youtube to grasp on concepts and figure out the building R packages process. (2) Also, Travis CI badge is a problem . Most R developers now recommend R-CMD-check badge from github that is much more eefective and free. (3) There are ery few learners in th course and this makes grading too long. Needs more attention.

Much reading, but not illustration and tutoring. What's more the peer reviewing session is not very useful and time consuming

Great gap between teaching and what is required to pass the course. Unnecessarily difficult. Not recommended.

Just reading. There are not videos.
You are not allowed to submit the quiz if you do not pay.

Many parts of this course cannot be completed due to outdated code/data.
