I took the R programming course last year—it was a good short course if you already have some programming background, though I wouldn’t have wanted to do it as a complete beginner.
It didn’t feel like a normal course though—more like one of those week long corporate training modules. Useful, but I imagine doing the complete Data Science specialization in short blocks would leave some people with a patchy result.
Are you also taking the R programming course then? Based on your experience, would it be fine to take both courses simultaneously?
