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.

Clear instructions for the practical work. The option to use the text file or video was a great way to differentiate learnings for different content types.

Learned a lot of really useful stuff about version control with GitHub that I had not encountered in my PhD training , but that seems crucial for industry.

It's the best course i have come across. If someone want to become a data analyst, this is the true platform for him/her to show what he/she is capable of.

Great intro. Having no coding background, this was still a good blend of being shown the basics but still having to figure out a few tiny things on my own.

Very good course. I initially thought of earning a simple certificate. But I really learnt R, Rstudio and Github installations and did simple coding also.

Although the computerized voice wasn't an issue. the still images could be updated to animations so that students can better understand what is being done

The course is great, but to my laptop and Google Pad, all videos has bugs, the Slide always stoped in the middle, but the voice and sub-title continue.
