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.

Peer reviews helped me ensure I learned the content. Sometimes the test doesn't verify that a student is learning. Aside from that I was able to freshen up on my math skills.

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.
