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.

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.

Very nice introductory course! It will be better to give us more hands-on projects & the solutions rather than Q&A tests in the middle. Thank you!

I am a Brazilian, I am still studying my degree. I'm starting my DataScience career and this first course in the series proved to be really early.

It was easy to understand, though I'm not a graduate of Statistics, but because of the lessons and the technique used, I understand it. Thank you!

It's a very good course for beginners. If you already hace R and gihub it may be a little boring, but remembering the basics is never a bad idea.

Good exercise to get working environment set up and learn more about what data science is (asking the right questions) and what it isn't (magic)
