About the Course

This course introduces students to data and statistics. By the end of the course, students should be able to interpret descriptive statistics, causal analyses and visualizations to draw meaningful insights. The course first introduces a framework for thinking about the various purposes of statistical analysis. We’ll talk about how analysts use data for descriptive, causal and predictive inference. We’ll then cover how to develop a research study for causal analysis, compute and interpret descriptive statistics and design effective visualizations. The course will help you to become a thoughtful and critical consumer of analytics. If you are in a field that increasingly relies on data-driven decision making, but you feel unequipped to interpret and evaluate data, this course will help you develop these fundamental tools of data literacy....

Information was well presented and easy to understand. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is because many of the quizzes and at least one of the final assessments had glitches in their programming where either none of the selected answers were counting as correct for certain questions. The final assessment includes a question where the correct answer choice is "the first two answer choices" but because the answer choice order randomized, the statement "the first two" was not always correct.

A nice introduction. The use of the Introductory Statistics textbook was good and I've earmarked it for future reference; a couple of the blog reading choices about graph types could be updated. Looking forward to the next course in this specialization.

A great intro to the foundations of data analysis and visualization. I wish there were some more practice problems to work through but I really enjoyed the course and am looking forward to the next in the specialization.

An excellent introductory course for data understanding and analysis, I would advice to simplify the related readings to be more clear.

Very useful course and clear instructions. Great doc supplementary, but it's usually a long doc which requires more time to complete.

This is a very clearly presented and well-prepared course. Some of the readings are much too advanced compared to the content of the videos and the quizzes. The course could use a little character.
