The course was incredibly informative. I am glad that I got the opportunity to study in a course on statistics from Stanford University itself. I thank the creators and participants of the course!

The lectures were clear and thorough, with a good amount of examples. The quizzes were excellent, and I learned a lot from the feedback. One of the best Coursera courses I have ever taken!

Excellent course... Only improvement I can suggest is to add more problems in the lectures as well as quizzes.

It was an amazing course, but as a person who had never had strong background experience in algebra and statistics, I struggled a bit in understanding some parts. I also wish that the given examples were animated or illustrated in some way since we are visual beings and it makes things clearer to understand.

Overall, however, I like the way how the course was organized. I am planning to take more courses in statistics since I would like to discuss and understand statistical inferences and linear regressions in deeper.

Somewhere dissatistified from the course . At some specific points very little explation is given and you have to study on your own again and again. For example he didn't taught how to calculate Standard Deviation but using through the course. Conclusion: Course was informative but not worth the hype.

I spent a lot of time looking for how the formulas were derived. I hope this class can spend more time explaining the formulas instead of just telling us when to use them. However, the first half of course is still suitable for beginner.

A wonderful course. However, I don't think it's strictly a beginner course because several concepts could be better comprehended with a pre-existing knowledge of the subject. This course makes concepts clearer and enhances understanding.

It is a great course, but in my opinion it is complimentary and you should also look for further information on your own. I wouldn't say it's a full course, but more of a companion course of sorts. It's still great though!

I think everything is good in this course, the content, instructor, quizzes, and assessments. but the only thing that bothered me is there are not enough examples to explain the concepts in the videos.

Gives all the necessary and basic skills needed for a potential college level statistics course. Videos and lessons are a little hard to follow through major jumps in topics. 4/5 stars.
