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.

I like the content. Maybe, I think that data science is only python and R, but the most important is the initial question of project.

I prefer to read the material section rather than the video. It's very difficult to concentrate the video by listening to the script.
