A great introductory overview to statistical methods. Prof Walther makes an excellent job at presenting the concepts in a concise yet well clear and comprehensible manner.

Good intro course, however, if you are coming from a no-scientific background would advice you work on a few mathematical concepts prior. Namely; basic algebra & probability

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.
