The course was incredibly informative. I am glad that I got the opportunity to study in a course on statistics from Stanford University itself. I thank the creators and participants of the course!

The lectures were clear and thorough, with a good amount of examples. The quizzes were excellent, and I learned a lot from the feedback. One of the best Coursera courses I have ever taken!

Gives a great overview of every important topic in statistics. However, lots of things aren't explained thoroughly. I had to use other websites to gain a sufficient understanding of lots of material.

Dont think this course really suits beginners for statistics. Rather, it's challenging and the concepts sometimes are even confusing. Anyway I think I did learned something during the course.

It was short and informational, but the knowledge is somehow deep for beginners. Maybe the lecturer elaborating a little bit more on major concepts would be profitable for beginners.

The course was very interesting. A lot of concepts were touched up on, but the explanation part was a little less. I can label it as a very good introductory course to Statistics.

Very intersting and insightful course. I believe some topics, especially those that come up often, could have been clarified further through definitions rather than mere examples

Peer reviews helped me ensure I learned the content. Sometimes the test doesn't verify that a student is learning. Aside from that I was able to freshen up on my math skills.

Good intro course, however, if you are coming from a no-scientific background would advice you work on a few mathematical concepts prior. Namely; basic algebra & probability

The course has many interesting and useful topics about Statistics that are way useful for Data Science, but in my opinion it lacks more concrete formulas and explanations.

There is much calculus involved which makes me hard to digest the materials (I have not completed calculus yet), but overall an informative course from Stanford online.

At the start, it is quite good as it goes to the basics and is what you would expect. However by week 4 it just overloads you with info and you kind of give up

Challenging but a good overview of basic principles of statistics. Will allow me to read with a more critical eye figures that are used to support arguments.

This course really helps me out to better understand the basic concept of Probability and statistics, also the course material was designed very well.

Good overview of concepts, not much guided practice or sets of problems to try before assessments to facilitate deeper learning and understanding.

If one live example is given for every concept, that would be a very great journey in understanding the concepts more. But overall a good course.

Love the content, several concepts were a bit hard to grasp so I gotta dig deeper via other sources but overall this was wonderful

Some parts are difficult to understand so it is best to watch the video multiple times before taking the tests.

Curricula is great. The professor goes into theory but sometimes the explanations are too much on the surface

Some more details in the explanations and materials would make it even better.

This is a good overview course. An improvement would be more hands on examples using R or Python.
