Pretty quick overview. I recommend doing AP Stats on khan academy to get a better inderstanding.

I recently tutored a student in an introduction to statistics course by reading the textbook and learning as he learned. While I gained a basis understanding of statistics, I found that the textbook (Statistics, Unlocking the Power of Data) somewhat confusing and I wanted to take another statistics course to try and clarify basic concepts that I felt were not explained well in that course, so I took this course. I found this course to be so formula - intense that the basic concepts were lost in the discussion of the formulae and many were not clearly explained. Another drawback was that the graphs in the videos were blurry and one could only read the designations on the x and y axes by referring to the slides separately, which was distracting. I kept moving through the course, determined to finish it and evaluate the concepts that were being discussed, but it was very disorienting to follow the formulae and try to glean their import as related to the concept being discussed. I passed the quizzes by keeping a list of the correct answers for each attempt (many of which I chose at random) and finally passing by the process of elimination. If I had not had previous knowledge of statistics, this course would have not been helpful. Even so, it did not significantly increase my knowledge of statistics.

It took me two lessons to figure out this course is not for me. To give you a bit of context, I'm the type of person who needs to understand a concept from the inside – to such a depth that I'd be able to explain it to anyone, no matter their age or academic ability, in plain English. True, the lectures do give you all the definitions you need and show how you can apply a certain concept in practice, but I failed to understand the why of things. And to me, that's a deal-breaker. In the beginning, I thought the problem was with me, that is I was too thick to get it, so I started YouTubing and googling stuff to try to keep up. In the end, I found myself spending more time on Google than on this course, so I decided to cut the middle man and subscribe to a couple of YouTube channels. This course isn't for me.

This is more fitting to someone who has a background in mathematics and statistics and wants to refresh their knowledge (and potentially learn some additional topics in Statistica Analysis). If you have never done any statistics and probability before you will struggle or lose the motivation to complete the course.

The lecturer is clearly knowledgeable in the area, however, there needs to be a lot more content to practice. I think having more examples to explain concepts and more examples to practice will be a big plus.

Weeks 1 to 3 and maybe 4 will be a breeze through if you have some stats background. Otherwise, you struggle.

For me it was decent. I was able to refresh my knowledge but learnt of new concepts. Those concepts I will have to find other material to read in order to fully understand them.

A very poorly executed course. It rushed through all the important topics at a high level in a way that you would have had to already known the subject matter beforehand to understand and follow the videos well. The practice problems in the middle of the videos expected you to have previous numbers all memorized which was entirely unreasonable. Overall a very bad learning experience. I had to supplement this course with Grasple's probability and statistics courses to understand the material. I only completed this course to get the certificate. What a bad experience!

The course is too rushed, there is not enough of everything: exercises, examples, tests. Better use another resources than this course. if you are somewhat familiar with the statistics, this course will not add to your knowledge, but if you're not, you'll be probably overwhelmed by formulas and a lack of explanation why and when to use them and where are they coming from. Do not recommend.

This course covers a lot of relevant material. However much of the material is covered WAY too fast to be digested. For example the material on ANOVA is basically incomprehensible. Furthermore the course is glitchy, with questions popping up while the lecture is ongoing and often closing before you have a chance to answer. This course could definitely be improved.

While the course covers a lot of material and gives a good overview, the explanations are often rushed and there's not emphasis on working through examples, especially in the later weeks (after week 4). It's also odd that there are no suggestions for extra reading, when extra reading is almost going to be required to really master any of the material.

This course took me longer than expected. It is definitely in my opinion not an introductory level course and should be pitched as an intermediate level. However, I was happy to get the experience of doing the course. I felt at time the lecturer could have gone into more in depth explanation of the material.

85% of the course at the moment. It is what it is, just an introduction. If you already know statistics, this is a good refresher, but if that's not the case, I wouldn't recommend it.

This maybe is a good course but I think it is best for those who want to have a revision to their concepts. It is not the best out there for complete begineers

Very bad explanation, you need a degree in statistics to understand what the instructor is saying

Not explanatory. Finished but can't find the certificate😶

The concepts are not very clearly explained.

설명이 너무 부족

This is absolutely not an introduction. It is barely even a review. I had to spend a lot of time looking up resources elsewhere to get me through it. The lectures do not sufficiently prepare you for the tests at the end of each module. At best, it gives structure for someone who needs a refresher, but there surely must be better Coursera options out there.

There are soo many mathematical errors and in general the course is rushed and full of mistakes. There appears to have been little to no cross examination of the modules otherwise the mistakes would have been corrected! There is also no help at all in the discussion forum from the Professor himself. I would not recommend!!

The instructor leaves out formulas that would be useful to know during the exams. I've gone through long and tedious google searches and I'm unable to find the answer. I know this because I often review his videos to try to find the right formula to use.

The videos and the content is not available do not enroll ;/ I think you only get access to it if you can pay despite of the instructions saying we can enroll for free so i guess it is pointless to enroll ???

This course needs alot of improvement, a lot of information is just thrown at the learner with no explanation but rather narration . I found myself going to outside sources to understand the information

I'm from developing countries particularly from Yemen where the war have destroyed everything. I hope that you will give me the certificate for this course for granted.

This course is horrible. Very little explanation provided. I guess for the price it's... better than nothing, but you get what you pay for... which is nothing.

Quiz topics not covered in lectures! A full 1.5 minutes to explain standard deviation -- could you have spared some more time?

the explanations are not clear and it is too math biased for people who need to understand the basci concepts of statistics

I didn't like this course as it is not related to my specialisation. I want to change my course.
