Learner Reviews & Feedback for An Intuitive Introduction to Probability by University of Zurich
About the Course
Top reviews
Superb course. I am very impressed with the way the faculty explained real world examples through the probability concepts. I wish we can have more courses from him on statistics and machine learning.
I really enjoyed this course. The explanations are clear and, as suggested by the title, the lecturer uses intuition and daily-life examples rather than abstract and formal definitions and notations.

•It was a good basic course of the intuitive introductory course.
keep it up and provide it with some more extension.
and provide the basic structure of the formulas as well to the excel built in function.
I personally didn't understand the infrastructure of the NORM.S.INV() what is the logic behind?

•While the lectures was interesting, I found flaws in exercises part and material navigation. We need more difficult exercises to practice or maybe links to some external tasks. Also navigation bar is bad. There's no way we can get back to completed videos on different weeks.

•The questions were too easy. Always just two questions. It's too much of watching the teacher talk, video edition could be used more. Some graphs and animations to "see" the concepts would be wellcome.

•after week 4 it is more teaching excel than probability and quiz was more "learn to find a calculator for this kind of subjects" than examine knowledge of probability.

•For an introduction, it is fine. But could have been way deeper. I could not learn how to tackle difficult and tricky probability problems.

•The in-class quizzes are not relevant and exercises uninteresting. Otherwise interestingly conducted and helpful course.

•Very basic, but a great introduction

•Funny and Intuitive explanations.

•Not that challenging
By Bhavya S
•It started out very well, but towards the end there was inadequate intuition provided. For instance, the binomial and normal distribution done directly through functions in excel stripped away the intuition. There was a missing base to these. Overall, the examples picked out were very interesting and would capture my attention.

•Extremely distracting accent and voice, can't focus at all on what is being said

•very basic

•The multiple choice questions in the quizzes, with their slippery, quite similar yet tricky possible answers, makes the course absolutely distracting.
By Michael J
•Worst experience on coursera so far. Parts of the course were locked for weeks for some unknown reasons. No progress possible.
