TOP REVIEWS FROM QUANTITATIVE METHODS
maybe 3.8. There was alot of dated information in the course and unhelpful concepts presented as examples. There was also alot of videos but barely any readings. The videos were presented well.
I am following both the Qualitative and Quantitative Methods courses. I love the tutor of the Quantitative methods. The theory is structured clearly and the lectures are a pleasure to watch.
This is a great starting course on the topic of Quant Methods. The program could take an entire semester or two if you want to go in depth, but as a starter, it was just right.
The course is very knowledgeable and i fell fond of to the simplicity of presentation of every segment of research. Thank you for making research look so beautiful and enjoyable.
