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 course setup. I just wish to hear a human vice read the prompt instead of a robot. But the course is great so far.

I actually really enjoyed the 'robot voice'. It took a couple of videos to get used to, then I found I actually preferred it.
