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.

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.
