An excellent course with some good hands on exercises in both R and excel. Not for the faint of heart mathematically speaking, assumes a competent understanding of statistics and probability going in

Great course. The content moves at a nice pace and the videos are really good to follow. The Quizzes are also set at a good level. You can't pass this course unless you have understood the material.

Great! Clear, systematic... but: requires a good basic knowledge of mathematics and lacks practical examples to illustrate the models presented

A nice course. I gave me a fundamental knowledge about Bayesian Statistics. The lectures are sometime a bit confusing but overall, it's great.

more examples of solving problems would have help. or having direct references to sources that explain the technical aspects of the material.

The course could use slightly more explanation of how Bayesian statistics is applied to real world problems (vs. frequentist application).

Very good method and quality of teaching, I'd recommend more solved and commented exercises for each topic exposed, before each week test.

Informative and well structured. Some of the links in the week 4 do no longer work making it a bit of a faff to complete the assignments.

Explained statistics very well. Felt a little rushed at the end. Still very informative and the quizzes help consolidate the learning.

Very concise and easy to follow to the end. The linear regression part could be more clear (i.e., with a lecture on the background).

A bit tough and most of the lectures are just formula explanations, but great to understand distribution and Bayesian statistics.

The last section, normal data, which is very important, could have been instructed in a slower, less hasty way with more details.

Great course to get acquainted with Bayesian statistics and inference. Just wished seeing a bit more of mathematical background.

Need more information about linear regression, given material is not enough to understand topic and effectively find solution.

A bit dry overall, but I appreciate the rigor and precision, along with the practical examples in R. I learned a great deal.

Hi , this course opened a door for me in Data analysis. Very intuitive & must course for any person exploring data science.

Good course, but it could really use some PDFs with lecture notes ( as in contents of videos, not supplementary material).

This course has given me some good new insights into perceiving data and has got me started nicely I am very great full.

Overall the course is nice for the basics. However, I expected a little bit more coding and less mathematical formulas.

Good introduction and interesting topics. However, some of the model analyses are not appropriate and feels artificial.

As a graduate student pursuing Machine Learning, this was a great course for me to get introduced to Bayesian Models.

Difficult to work on assignments because it was unclear how to implement the knowledge discussed during the lecture

The material is quite hard for someone who has only basic knowledge in statistics. But the excercises are helpful.

Well explained and articulated. You can apply it straight to your work problems. I really enjoyed doing the course.

Excellent introductory course. Some of the concepts in the later part of the course are not explained well though.

Overall great course, the last part (linear regression) seems somewhat disconnected from the rest of the course.

I can learn the concept, but need to understand the details well in other ways. eg. reading, or searching online
