Great!!

amazing

great

good

I just completed the Biostatistics specialisation, so I have posted these comments on all the courses:

What I most appreciated: Dr McGready is a fantastic lecturer, and I learned a tremendous amount from his lectures. I feel that you need to do all four courses to truly appreciate all the lessons.

What I think will improve the courses: There are some mistakes in the quizzes and the answer sheets, and I think it is because Dr McGready used the lectures that he uses in his classes at JHU, but had to transcribe the quizzes into the Coursera format. I feel that the lectures would have had even greater value if we got to program some of the statistics and manipulate some of the data in R or SPSS.

Overall, I really enjoyed the specialisation, and I certainly got what I was looking for. Thanks again for all your hard work!

The course is very useful and recommended to any beginner who is interested in bio statistics. The course has helped me a lot to understand the basics of hypothesis testing and comparing different parameters. Personally now I can interpret different study results better than taking the course.thank you Dr. John McGready.

Very good course structure and good examples. Week 2 felt super long and I suggest that you plan for at least 2 extra hours of reviewing the materials. If you're not done with week 2 on time it throws off the schedule and you have to make up for lost time.

Many more typos in this course than in the first section. Also, it would be better to be able to see your answers to the quizzes and tests so that we know which question we marked and got incorrect or correct.

Huge coverage of hypothesis testing. Some lectures were quite repetitive or similar in nature and those could be reshaped as it seemed puzzling and boring. However, It was an informative one.

Very nice course, really well explained by Mr Mc Gready. 4 stars because of some mistakes in the tests and the slides. However, it really shapes your mind in Hypothesis testing

perfect except if there is a reference material, as PDFs, for self-revision after the course; no need to go back to the full video to remember everything

Muy buen curso, abarca a profundidad los conceptos subyacentes a los resultados de estudios clínicos.

This course is for sure one of the best courses in Biostatistics.

It was very Educative, I honestly learnt alot

The course is easy to follow and understand.

This course was not practical

Interesting and helpful

thank you so much

Challenging

The quality of videos can be better. The content that is typed out has several mistakes which need rectification. The instructor can use a better software for typing out things rather than scribbling them on the screen. The videos do not open several time and we have to go back and forth between lectures to open a desired video.

Un poco repetitivo, deja fuera varias pruebas estadísticas usadas frecuentemente en el testeo de hipótesis. Introductorio a conceptos básicos.

This instructor is shows the difference between being knowledgeable and being effective at teaching. I find his presentation overly wordy, over complicated and difficult to follow. Could break up into smaller sections like chi-square being one video and fisher's exact being a seperate video instead of one 18 minute video. He completely lost me during Week 2 on confidence intervals, I passed that week's quiz purely by brute force rather then actually understanding it.

Thankfully, no peer assignments. Very elaborate quiz questions, often with subtle wording. Nontrivial number of typos. All the quizzes can be attempted 3 times in 8 hours, which is fair enough, but the final "project quiz" can only be taken once every 24 hours, which is an annoying set up. I prefer to review my mistakes immediately and try again, if needed.
