TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRODUCTION TO STATISTICS
A very good course. Definitely a course to take for an introduction into Statistics. Also probably going to be very useful as I'm planning on taking Machine Learning.
The topics were explained very well by the instructor. Statistics can be intimidating but the professors way of teaching with examples made it easier to understand.
Challenging but a good overview of basic principles of statistics. Will allow me to read with a more critical eye figures that are used to support arguments.
I really good introduction course. The weekly lecture and quiz time commitment is very manageable. The lectures/quizzes focus more on the theory rather than the number crunching.
