Really interesting course. The interactive coding sessions with swirl are especially useful. Would be great, if you provided sample solutions for the programming assignments, in particular for week 4.

The only problem was the gap between assignments' difficulty and lecture videos. But assignments were really good.

Overall it's good. And I think PPT may be much more helpful if there is a video of professor, and some animations.

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

Lectures and assignments are quite misaligned, should incorporate a more progressive assignment routine instead

The assignments are really good though

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