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.

Really basic, it's only necessary if you have no knowledge in the area.

The introduction of how to use github is undetailed in my opinion.

Too simple. Personally feel this can be clubbed with R Programming
