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.

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.

Very helpful since it is an introduction to the tools we are going to use and does not assume you know everything before starting the course!

This course is a good start, but it would have been nice to create a guided project or excersise on Rstudio in order to practise some more.
