This was mostly review for me though probability especially Beyes Theorem derivation was new. The instructors provided clear often refreshing ways to look at material.
Thank you for a great class!!

This course syllabus is great. It starts wonderfully. Week 1 to 4 is taught by Paul Bendich, and Daniel Egger the instruction is awesome. Effective way to refresh and add the Data Science math skills!

The initial modules are insightful and helpful. But I had a lot of problems going through the material in week 4. The instructor struggles to make the content engaging and the videos often end up sounding very monotone. There's a big gap between the material discussed and the questions asked in practice.

The course is fairly easy and unchallenging. It's like an introduction in maths for high school students. I was expecting harder maths related to data science and/or machine learning, but this is just a review of high school maths. Not entirely a waste of time, but disappointing.

baye's theorem and the binomial addition to it should have been explained broadly, this is a multi country based program , people from different country access it. hence each and every formulae and colocations should be explained better and write-in a better way.

Very rushed presentation. Blows right through a lot of fundamental concepts without a deep enough explanation or enough practice material (especially in the last two weeks). I feel like completing this class will require supplementation with better instruction.

I was attracted by the syllabus (substance) but I found the presentation of the teachers quite disturbing (form); bad calligraphy, some mistakes, poor explanations. Anyway I completed the course and it will be useful as a general introduction to the topics.

As a stand-alone course, this is perhaps only for folks with above-average IQ. There was hardly any attempt to explain any of the concepts in a new/simple/intuitive manner. I wonder what the other students saw in this course resulting in the high rating.

The first three weeks had explanations that made sense (i.e. helped me learn the concepts). However, week 4 did not have enough material and it was really hard to work out what was going on, so I had to resort to Khan Academy and You Tube!

The probability section left many serious gaps in information compared to the test. I had to take the exam multiple times, and even after restarting half of the class twice. I'm not usually one to have to do this for a class.

Video lectures were not very clear. It looked like these lectures are for revision and not for learning it first time. Baye's Theorem is yet not clear to me... I just mugged up some formulas which i will eventually forget.

The weeks 1-3 although elementary were explained well but the change of professor on the last one really did nothing. There were far better tutors on youtube teaching the same things he did more clearly.

Concepts not covered well enough, just for the sake of teaching. Pure time waste. Bayesian Theory was not taught up to the mark, I had to refer external resources to understand it well.

the video learning was good, but the quiz questions were at a very different difficulty levels. I would just like to say that this was supposed to be an beginner level course.

This course is very short. I've completed it in about 4 hours. Nothing was told about linear algebra, statistics, optimization. It is not enough even to learn Data Science.

A mixed bad. The younger professor is a much better and more engaged teacher. Week 4 in particular, taught by the older professor, comes across very low-effort and messy.

This course dos not contain enough examples which needed to train and practice ,PDF is not clear enough and does not contain any problems to practice.
Thanks

The second professor isn't great. I don't think it's his fault, but a lot of information was crammed into 2 weeks and I had to do a lot of self-teaching.

Week 1 and Week 2 material is very well presented. Week 3 was presented very poorly but reading the notes and youtube helped. Week 4 went over my head

Materials provided are not sufficient to fully understand the concepts. One has to look for additional books and forums on the internet.

The content of the course was simple. But the quiz were above average. The classes were not sufficient to answer the questions.

t's a good review for the people that know something but will be very hard for students that don't have a background in Maths

Found the title of the course mis-leading! School level Math skills are taught. Found the title to be similar to "click-baits"

Overall this course did not spend enough time explaining probability, which is a huge portion in understanding data science.

It was too short, I think they must add additional mathematics course to make this program complete for Data Science needs

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

You'd spend lots of time checking other sources as they do not explain things in detail. They assume many things.
