Very useful course. Most of the concepts are clearly explained. There are some missing things in terms of explanation but generally the course is very solid, well prepared and provides a good intro to statistics.

Thank you, Prof. Walther

Great course. I really liked how the material is presented in the course in a "no-nonsense" approach. The course covers a lot of points which weren't clear to me. I think it is a great beginners course to gain general understanding.

Course excellent and I had a lot of fun doing it. The only thing that could be improved, sometimes the explanations do not feel complete. I need to research a bit more to fully understand the background.

This is certainly not the introductory course as it covers the advanced concepts too. but the course content has been very well designed. The part I most loved in course was questions asked in the quiz.

It is a great oportunity to get the basics of statistics, by having adequate theory lessons with real life problems. To be better, only if it applied that in a statistical software

All the basics you are going to need in one place. Lacks details however, and assumes you will fill in the blanks with your own reasearch and study.
