About the Course

This class presents the fundamental probability and statistical concepts used in elementary data analysis. It will be taught at an introductory level for students with junior or senior college-level mathematical training including a working knowledge of calculus. A small amount of linear algebra and programming are useful for the class, but not required....

Very nice and informative course, with really interesting examples. I like Brian's lectures and his humour and I find him very knowledgable and informative. I would definitely recommend this course.

I knew a lot about probability before starting this course, but I didn't know much of anything about frequentist statistics. This course helped me understand some tricky concepts.

Content is very good but please make it more MOOC friendly. More diagrams and animations to help visualize concepts would be useful. Also try to give more layman explanations for concepts getting through stats jargon was sometimes a struggle. Overall a pleasing course though!

The course was quite good. The quizes were designed to evaluate both conceptual and mathematical understanding of the content. Few of the parts were not covered deeply and it might have been nice that some external resources could be mentioned. In general a nice bootcamp.

Advanced level academic style statistics course. I liked the mathematical style of the course, which also brings me to the only one critics I have. The course is lacking a bit intuitive explanations. Otherwise, totally recommendable.

This course taught me a lot on statistics, but the courseware is a little boring for me. I think the courseware will be better if it becomes more vivid. Overall it is a very good course and I get a lot of expected knowledge.

The course is aptly named - this is a tough but quick re-introduction to the mathematical underpinnings of basic statistical analysis. I would not attempt unless you have a firm grasp of calculus and basic statistics.

I consider that the course is pretty complete in the mathematical fundamentals of biostatistics. However, sometimes the videos are quite long and not concise enough, which makes the subjects difficult to understand.

Overall good lectures and good practice material. Certainly not an introductory stat course - requires working knowledge of calculus and basic biostats.

I enjoyed the course. I wish there was perhaps a little more evaluation along the way (maybe occasional in-lecture questions), but otherwise very nice.

Good course, needs updating, since it was a first generation course. Worth taking, but make sure to review a bit of Calculus, especially integration.

Thank you very much for your course. It is clear and to the point.

But it was very difficult to perceive a video-lectures of 30 minutes.

i think the explanations of the mathematical aspects are not good enough, there is a gap between the lecture the assignments required

Not your average Coursera Course! Actually challenging. Brian Caffo's voice sounds a bit likw Sheldon Cooper!

I wish this Johns Hopkins course is more interactive. Like the Ohio State Calculus One class.

I think the process of the class is a bit too fast and it is hard for beginners to catch up

Hopefully It can be more related to Bios, Yet it's a amazing course for stat.

Unfortunately, I expected it more interesting, with more pictures and explanations, which you can easily to remember. But finally that was completely the same course as in any technical University: formula and minima of pictures, some formulas are written by words, for example.

I was watching the Youtube videos to finish the course, that was much more comfortable and interesting. The teacher knows the subject, for sure. But the reason, why people buy the course is to get better presented information and more available explanation.

I have understood everything, but haven't found something special in the lectures, just boring explanation of things which can be presented much more interesting, 'couse that is biostatistics, medicine etc.
