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.

Very basic, but gets you up and running with R, Git, and Github. I was self-taught, so this course was good to consolidate and refresh on the basics.

It is a nice course, week 1 is quite tough.

So i would recommend going through week 2 if you are stuck there.

Hope to see everyone make it to the end.

Great. The videos and the text are the same script. It helps a lot to first aquire the knowledge visually and by audio. And then visually by text.

Siempre evalúo los cursos con base en las cosas nuevas que aprendo y en este curso aprendí muchas cosas que desconocía. Vale mucho la pena tomarlo.
