Learner Reviews & Feedback for An Intuitive Introduction to Probability by University of Zurich

Very nice and entertaining course

Sometimes the quizzes can be a bit frustrating. They could be set better.

Also, often the quizzes are very trivial.

A very nice introduction. The instructor shows a lot of enthusiasm for the subject. The exercises help reinforce the material.

Very interesting course, I would like it going a little bit deeper in theoretical level.

Down to earth explanation of probability basics, explanations are clear and mostly intuitively understandable. Great examples of Excel use for different probability tasks resolution. However use of Normal distribution Excel functionality is not needed when explaining 5 coins toss. It is more intuitive to show it using combination formula.

The course is very interesting. It has taught me a lot about basic ideas/definitions/applications of probability. But the difficulties of the exercises may be raised a little bit to bring a little bit more challenge to this course.

Every thing was fine, just I expected a little bit more advanced materials.

As written in course introduction this course covers basics of Probability. Instructor is good and explains everything from scratch. Would recommend this course for someone who want to learn about basics.

A very good course, especially if you are interested in the applications of probability theory. The title fulfills itself and this course is kind of an alternative approach to the very popular problem: how to understand probability theory in a better way.

Nice course it is a wonderful way to introduce to probabiility

overview is quite good.

couple of intuitive explanations.

script is more deep.

very clear explanation, good examples to make better understood

Quick introductory course

was a good course

I really liked the ease with which Karl taught some of the most intriguing concepts of probability. I would suggest more numerical s to be included.

Good and remarkably easy introduction to probability theory. The chosen real world applications really helped me to understand the subject better. Might have to recap some lessons to really grasp the subject.

A very basic introduction to probability. The lecturer and TA carefully explain all concepts.

Karl has a nice tone, cadence and rhythm. More intuitive than other courses I have taken on the same subject.

Awesome

This COURSE is quite interesting to learn many new thing which has explained very interestingly by karl

but add more on this as many topics are missing in this course and teach more on excel part

Nice and well prepared course. I think it deserve better a assignment methods. Btw, Thanks Karl

Thank you

not bad, not technical enough but applications were interesting

It's an interesting course because it has many applications .Thank you very much to Professor Karl Schmedders

Excellent teaching of a well designed introductory course about probability. I’ve appreciated how much can be taught while keeping tough maths out of sight. I’ve also appreciated the connection between theory and non-scholastic, real life applications.

An excellent coverage of topics and good lectures by Karl. My only quibble is that the exercises could be a little more challenging.
