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.

Good way to start course generally information about tools are not taught which makes it difficult to manage code later.

The sample RStudio interface in the lecture videos needs an update related to the current version releases of RStudio.

Great course to start! Generated voice is annoying, but I guess this is a tradeoff in order to be always up-to-date.
