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.

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.

Except the voiceover is so dull, you can opt to read it though. The content is well structured.

Well done and even if the "robot" voice is different, we get use to it and the content is good.
