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....

I am pleasantly surprised with the quality of this course. For a beginner, the Swirl exercises are incredibly helpful and I was able to build confidence in working with R because of them. Thank you!

Great course for people who work with data a lot. This course actually helps in looking at data in its basic forms, helps understand transformations better, and gives ideas about playing with it.

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.

It's a well structured course. Covering key elements of R... my only suggestion is that if there can be more emphasis on creating R-Functions.

I like the course but I do not feel like the course material prepares me for the assignments. The programming assignments are too challenging.

Good course, especially for writing functions! At times, the assignments haunted me, but patience and reading the forums and blogs is the key.

The course is great for introducing the RStudio. The Curriculum needs a higher learning curve which I may feel not enough for a 4 week course.

Good content and gives satisfaction that i have learnt and can consider myself at proficient level in R programming after finishing the course

Excellent starting course for R. Concepts explained in detail and comfortably with examples. SWIRL is a must to understand in greater detail.

Pretty nice! I'd suggest to move the activity on lexical scoping to the second week, since that's when the notions of scoping are explained.

I liked the course very much, but o thought the assignments were very hard for beginners like me. I thought the learning curve was too steep.

Wow, it is really a hard work for a student major in advertising. But the professor's lecture is really amazing, and I learned a lot from it.

The course coverage is really good. The video lectures can have more examples from real time projects. The assignments are truly challengjng.

I've learned great things during this course, I feel powerful now! Yet be aware that the first two practical assignments are very difficult.

Good Lessons and exercises. I would have liked introduction to packages like dplyr, but may be that is introduced in other training modules.

I personally think after every explanatory video,there should be a practice video. But everything is alright and the course is really good.
