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.

Video lectures where TTS, not at all engaging. Thankfully, text material was well written.

Very Basic level. A little difficult to stay focused without having an instructor around.

Very basic, may be a bit more use cases on Git would have been useful. But that's just me

Few content for an entire course. I think this one could be together with R Programming.

A good intro to the tools, but for anyone with prior programming experience unnecessary

I think the project became very confusing since no examples were done in the lectures!

This could be wrapped into one of the other courses since its just environment setup.

Pretty simple, the Univ of Michigan Data Science with Python set the bar pretty high.

A little boring. Necessary if you have ABSOLUTELY no experience with data analysis.

It`s too introductory. The methodology with an IA voice it`s not comfortable yet.
