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

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

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.

Fun but too basic so a good intro for a complete newbie

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

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.

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

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.

overview is quite good.

couple of intuitive explanations.

script is more deep.

very clear explanation, good examples to make better understood

Quick introductory course

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.

Nice course it is a wonderful way to introduce to probabiility

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.

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

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.

Very enthusiastic professor. The real world examples were the highlight of the course. Would have liked more math content though.

not bad, not technical enough but applications were interesting

Videos were very useful and interesting. This helped me develop my understanding of statistics in my A-Level Maths course.

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

Thank you

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.

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.

Not that challenging

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

The course was basic. Exercises were way too easy.
