Key challenges

Professors went on too quickly

I would say Statistics is a very difficult topic to understand on your own and that is why I took this course only to find that the professors go too quickly on each topic. This made my learning journey very difficult. Yes the course is good and attractive but that doesn’t mean the course taught me what I expected. The instructors should focus on delivering the content more slowly. (Mariana O)

Too many definitions

A lot of time has been devoted to only introducing definitions which I believe is a waste of time. Also, very little time is given to us for practicing and reviewing. (Big W)

Learner’s Suggestions/Recommendations:

  • The lectures are 100% great and very useful but I don’t understand the reason for putting R language in a basic statistics class. (Mayssaa D)
  • The R labs are very lengthy to complete and thus they should be made less lengthy. (Mayank K)

Is this Course worth taking?

Overall this course sheds light on the foundations of Statistics in detail. You will learn the methods of descriptive statistics and other statistical concepts in detail. The course also contains different quizzes and additional resources for enhanced learning. So taking this course would be a great investment.
