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.

Excelente curso y excelente didáctica, aunque requiere para mi de un ezfuerzo extra, ya que el Ingles no es mi lengua principal, lo recomiendo ampliamente.
