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.

The course was very interesting. A lot of concepts were touched up on, but the explanation part was a little less. I can label it as a very good introductory course to Statistics.

It provides beginners like me with a lot of new knowledge, but honestly I have to use other tools to help understand the concepts in the course, otherwise it is quite difficult for me
