Every module will include readings, videos, and a quiz to help make sure you understand the material and concepts that are studied.

Quick and efficient presentation of material with good surface-level rules of thumb that should serve the majority of people in the majority of instances. This is very effectively delivered.

Whilst teaching conventional statistics this course showed how to utilise them from the sigma viewpoint which provided useful additional perspectives that I can take to my job now.

Some of the slides do not follow or agreed with lectures. Very superficial lectures. The slides are not the same as presented in the lectures.

Sir David Cook's notes were difficult to follow. Often times there was no sync between the lecture audio and subtitles.

some of the captions are way off with the videos - super frustrating. The content is okay, but not broken up enough.
