This course was extremely frustrating for me. While I do not have a background in statistics or data science, I do have two Bachelor's degrees and took the course as a prerequisite for a Doctoral program. The marketing of this course is misleading - the title should not be "Introduction to Statistics". It would be more appropriate to title this course "Advanced statistical concepts" as the content was in fact advanced, the pace rapid, and the descriptive terminology complex. The professor is clearly brilliant in his field, however he does not deliver the material in a digestible manner for those without a background in statistics. Do not take this course if you are looking for a refresher on stats. I gave two stars because the user interface is great.

This course only presents key concepts but at no point does it bother to explain the fundamentals behind these concepts, nor does it offer material to solidify an educational foundation, and therefore fails to be an effective course for beginners. With quick and not always practical explanations, students must make a great effort to seek explanations from many other sources. This course works best for people who have already studied statistics with more structure and substance and want to review what they have learned. It was a frustrating experience.

The content is very good, but this is NOT an intro course. For example in Module 3, after a 10 minute lecture on Bayes Therom, there is a quiz that expects you to use Bayes Theorem. It is a very complex equation. On a positive note, you can retake the quizzes an unlimited number of times, which is good. I signed up for the free class and I don't know if I am going to finish it. It isn't what I was expecting or looking for.

This course basically summarizes different components of statistics. The professor jumped straight into examples to explain concepts but didn't explain important terms and how he labeled parts of the equations before going into an example. I felt like there weren't explanations that would help better the understanding. I had to use outside resources to better understand what was being taught.

The instructor was just reading from the slides. I’m not a beginner in statistics, but even I found it quite difficult. Even though the topics had a wide scope, I managed to grasp most of them by working alongside ChatGPT in the end. I do not recommend it.

It teaches you what those tools do, but does not teach you how and why. I think this is caused by not including the calculus side of the subject. At the end of the day, you will know what those tools do, but you won't understand completely.

Not much effort was put into designing this course. It's simply the instructor talking over PowerPoint slides and scribbling on them. A good textbook would provide a better introduction in a more engaging way.

I am happy to complete the courses, I learned a lot of empirical rules and terms, and helps me in my present time, but if certificates are given without cost, it will be beneficial for me.

You Said free course..after completed You say purchase the certificate....haa..haaa...sema comedy.........manufacturing defect in your born body

The beginning of the course is very well explained, but in the more detailed parts that are some chapters that lack explanations

Poor in examples, extra material is need to understannd a lot of concepts tought in this course.

Not satisfied at all

concept not well explained. can only be used as re-cap course when already have good understanding on the concept

First 4 weeks of good material Last 4 weeks Welcome to Hell

very hard to follow. slow speak but very fast pace

thanks to corsera providing gate experience

not for beginners

The quiz questions are not worked well and it makes it a bit difficutl to understand what is being asked.

Cannot access my certificate after course completion . I scored 97.16% grade

Literally slow and boring, Inadequate of definitions and examples

The visual material isn't good.
