Hi it is very helpful to me. Concept is properly explained. I enjoyed learning process. Expect some more courses on data science as well as on python which involves real time application.Thanks a lot.

This is neat little course to revise math fundamentals. I generally find learning probability a little tricky. This course helped me a lot in better understanding Bayes Theorem. Thank you professors.

I did most of the learning on my own to solve the assignment. Sadly the professors didn't prepare the material well.

I enjoyed the first 2 weeks. Weeks 3 and 4 were harder to follow. Too few examples, particularly in week 4.

A pesar de que el curso es básico, la parte de probabilidad no está muy bien explicada.

The last probability course is really horrible It should be changed or make it easier.
