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.

Great intro. Having no coding background, this was still a good blend of being shown the basics but still having to figure out a few tiny things on my own.

Very good course. I initially thought of earning a simple certificate. But I really learnt R, Rstudio and Github installations and did simple coding also.

The course is great, but to my laptop and Google Pad, all videos has bugs, the Slide always stoped in the middle, but the voice and sub-title continue.

Includes very basic stuff like setting up a github account, installing software etc: so I guess that's great if thats' not something you've done a lot.
