TOP REVIEWS FROM A CRASH COURSE IN CAUSALITY: INFERRING CAUSAL EFFECTS FROM OBSERVATIONAL DATA
The material is great. Just wished the professor was more active in the discussion forum. Have not showed up in the forum for weeks. At least there should be a TA or something.
Excellent course. Could use a small restructuring, as I had to go through the material more than once, but otherwise, very good material and presentation.
I really enjoyed this course, the pace could be more even in parts. Sometimes the pace could be more even and some more books/reference material for further study would be nice.
I completed all 4 available courses in causal inference on Coursera. This one has the best teaching quality. The material is very clear and self-contained!
