Dr. McGready is an excellent teacher. The lectures are easy to follow and contain relevant real-world examples. The MCQs also require you to think critically. I have learned some of the concepts from my university courses, but after taking this Coursera course, I discovered some points that I missed and I'm glad that my understanding has been enhanced.

Dr. McGready is an amaing teacher, and his videos are short and succinct. I particularly like his way of using real world studies to explain these concepts. Even if you are just familiar with basic arithmetic, this is an amazing course that will have you breezing through papers in no time. My only complaint is that I cannot thank John in person.

The course is very easy to understand. The instructor explained complex concepts with real-life examples. I learned so much. Definitely recommended. I can say this is one of the best introductory statistics courses in Coursera (I have tried attending several courses, and this is the course that helps me understand other courses).

Excellent course, the lecturer presents information, definitions and practical uses of summary statistics with real life examples. Although the content can be somewhat confusing, Dr McGready has achieved to make it clear and easier to understand. Thanks Coursera, JHU and Dr McGready for this awesome course. Keep moving forward!

This is an excellent course. I was looking for a review of materials I learned almost a decade ago and I found it helpful and very well taught. The average time spent on assignments and studying is about 2 hours per week. I took notes, stopped to do calculations, etc. and thoroughly understood what was taught. Thank you!

I really enjoyed this course. I thought the instructor did a great job in explaining the more abstract terms in a clear and concise manner. I thought he was very thorough and systematic in his methodology. I would definitely take this course again and also recommend this to anyone wanting to learn biostatistics.

Instructor did an excellent job of summarizing and communicating complex concepts! Thank you!

It would have been great to have a recommended source for practice exercises with solutions to give students and opportunity to practice and solidify the learning and understand some of the nuances of interpretation.

Enthusiastic teacher, easy to follow, and well presented.

Minor issues around audio in places - but ok.

I enjoyed the odd appearance between slides of the teacher, and the odd historical commentary eg on Paul Meier.

Thanks very much. See you in another space, in another time.

Best wishes!

Excellent course, made this intro approachable and made me grasp concepts that had been so challenging to me before! It has made me want to learn more about Biostats and get more involved in Medical Research and to read more articles just to put what I learned to use! Thank you!

Really great introductory course for those with some biostatistical knowledge! Lectures were well organized and provided many different examples to solidify learning process. My one suggestion would be to provide exercise worksheet problem sets for further practice of material.

This is great to refresh Descriptive Statistics and its focus on interpretation of data of real trials is refreshing and trains scientific "intuition". It is taught via examples and counterexamples (instead of mathematical demonstrations), and it repeats important concepts.

Materials and lectures were excellent. The only little problem I had toward the end was the way some questions were couched; looked "tricky", for instance the Final Project where there was continuity and discontinuity. But in all, everything was absolutely great. Thanks!

Overall a great experience. He is the best instructor. Also, I suggest there's a need for Q&A after each video session (and not just at the end of the week). This would help students with better understanding, active participation, and improved memorization of subject.

Its been good since my first day in this lecture. The teaching method and the clinical applicability of what was thought had been great and will be the driving force as I hope to continue with the other courses.

Thanks to the great tutor, Dr John McGready.

This was an AMAZING course, largely due to Dr. McGready! You made a sometimes difficult subject make perfect sense. I actually loved learning how to interpret different statistical measures. Thank you for the awesome instructional lectures and examples.

Absolutely amazing course. I am an MD with a completed 3-year fellowship from the USA (a total of 11 years of medical training), and to this day, learning statistics has never been this easy and fun!! I cannot wait to complete my specialization

One of the best teachings I've ever received. The teacher masters all the knowledge he shares and the examples are well chosen in order to comprehend each of the topics.

I really hope to receive more classes from John McGready in future lessons.

Excellent course. The material is organized well, with numerous helpful examples. The instructor is clear and I enjoyed listening to him. The quiz questions have appropriate difficulty, so I do feel I've proven that I've learned something.

This course was so useful for me and I am glad to update my knowledge in biostastistics. And Dr. John McGready is an excellent mentor who beautifully expalined to understand the concepts so well. Thanks to him. Highly recommended course.

Provides a good background of statistical summaries useful for biostatistics. A weakness is that there is more emphasis on interpretation than on creating summaries, but this course is only introductory, so it is not a big disadvantage.

This is an excellent course for beginners who are interested in understanding public health related research results. John is very good at explaining the definitions with interesting & useful examples. The course is structured well.

Good course to refresh basic statistics. There were plenty of examples to support the topics which were so helpful to understand the concepts. The quizzes really gauge your biostatistics learning and critical thinking skills.

Congratulations, his is a great oportunity to learn how estadistic used is being used in public health. The instructor explaing each concept in a simple manner. I like he uses examples conducted in real clinical research.

Excellent content for beginners! I am very excited for the next course, "Hypothesis Testing in Public Health".

Instructor John McGready presents otherwise complicated ideas, in a simple, ordered, and well paced manner!
