There is much calculus involved which makes me hard to digest the materials (I have not completed calculus yet), but overall an informative course from Stanford online.

Gives a great overview of every important topic in statistics. However, lots of things aren't explained thoroughly. I had to use other websites to gain a sufficient understanding of lots of material.

This course is indeed for beginners, the instructor has led us through some of the key concepts in statistics and explained quite well. For example, I once had trouble understanding the meaning of the Bayesian formula, but I got it after watching the video. There is almost no difficult math (no calculus nor linear algebra) and all is explained in plain and intuitive language. Having said that, I hope the modules can be extended to ~1 hour, as the instructor sometimes made "jumps" and I had to stop the video to think about it and take notes. Also, I think it will be better to introduce more topics like the Maximum Likelihood, and more details about the common distributions (which I used statistics textbooks to help me understand). Another problem is the translation. At first, I tried the Chinese subtitle but it turned out that many statistical terms were not translated correctly. Same problem with the quiz. I have to switch to the English version later on.
