As a business student from Bangladesh who is aspiring to be a data analyst in near future, I love this course very much. The quizzes and assessments were the places to check how much I exactly learnt.

It was really insightful, coming from knowing almost nothing about statistics or experimental design, it was easy to understand while not feeling shallow. Just the right amount of information density.

Really good introduction to the specialization. Quite basic, but good for someone with absolutely no background in the topic.

I like the course setup. I just wish to hear a human vice read the prompt instead of a robot. But the course is great so far.

I actually really enjoyed the 'robot voice'. It took a couple of videos to get used to, then I found I actually preferred it.
