brilliant! Now I know a lot of statistics that I didn't get taught in school. The teacher really puts you into the perspective of a statistic and teaches you the right flow of reasoning/ right approach to the problem.

Course excellent and I had a lot of fun doing it. The only thing that could be improved, sometimes the explanations do not feel complete. I need to research a bit more to fully understand the background.

This is certainly not the introductory course as it covers the advanced concepts too. but the course content has been very well designed. The part I most loved in course was questions asked in the quiz.

It is a great oportunity to get the basics of statistics, by having adequate theory lessons with real life problems. To be better, only if it applied that in a statistical software
