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!
