It was really insightful, coming from knowing almost nothing about statistics or experimental design, it was easy to understand while not feeling shallow. Just the right amount of information density.

As a business student from Bangladesh who is aspiring to be a data analyst in near future, I love this course very much. The quizzes and assessments were the places to check how much I exactly learnt.

This course is perfect for really newbie. However, it also answers the question of "What is Data Science?"

Easy to follow for the most part. A couple of things were outdated so I had to figure them out on my own.

Super basic introduction. I liked the last section reviewing data science methods and conceptual ideas.

I think more detail statements are needed on PDF.

Because I'm not good at listening, so I studied by PDF.

Good course. I felt the Git course went a bit too quickly (and I have experience with Git and Github).
