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.

A good intro to the tools, but for anyone with prior programming experience unnecessary

Pretty simple, the Univ of Michigan Data Science with Python set the bar pretty high.

A little boring. Necessary if you have ABSOLUTELY no experience with data analysis.

the course is good but the language is little bit hard because it is auto generated

This was a good intro for novices, except the automated robot voice was annoying.

It`s too introductory. The methodology with an IA voice it`s not comfortable yet.

highly recommended for newbs in any kind of development, otherwise waste of time.

The course was very limited, it should have been combined with Introduction to R.

I suppose it is ok as a foundation. Otherwise, it doesn't offer much on its own.

Not a lot of good information. Just introducing you to the programs being used.

Too simple and most contents are overlapped (already covered) in other sessions

Upgrade to submit? That's meaningless. Especially for this fundamental course.
