About the Course

Biostatistics is an essential skill for every public health researcher because it provides a set of precise methods for extracting meaningful conclusions from data. In this second course of the Biostatistics in Public Health Specialization, you'll learn to evaluate sample variability and apply statistical hypothesis testing methods. Along the way, you'll perform calculations and interpret real-world data from the published scientific literature. Topics include sample statistics, the central limit theorem, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, and p values....

Very detailed lectures and mostly all the concepts were cleared by examples which was great for me to conceptualize all the topics in a simple manner. Thank you so much.

Excellent course, excellent teaching. Prof McGready knows his stuff and also knows how to teach it. The projects exercices are fun to work on and see how statistics is used in research.

This instructor is shows the difference between being knowledgeable and being effective at teaching. I find his presentation overly wordy, over complicated and difficult to follow. Could break up into smaller sections like chi-square being one video and fisher's exact being a seperate video instead of one 18 minute video. He completely lost me during Week 2 on confidence intervals, I passed that week's quiz purely by brute force rather then actually understanding it.

Thankfully, no peer assignments. Very elaborate quiz questions, often with subtle wording. Nontrivial number of typos. All the quizzes can be attempted 3 times in 8 hours, which is fair enough, but the final "project quiz" can only be taken once every 24 hours, which is an annoying set up. I prefer to review my mistakes immediately and try again, if needed.
