Exceptional! I've learned so much about statistics with such a clarity, and how they are being practiced in real life. Thank you, instructor!

It was quite a technical course and got harder along the way. However the course content made catching up with the technical courses highlighted in this course easier.

I highly recommend that if you are pursuing data analytics, that you take another certification, like the IBM certification. The first 3 courses are fine, but the course on statistics, the questions are terrible. I understand the concepts, and I appreciate that, but the quizzes are worded in such a way that I'm not even sure what they are asking. Also, the person who authored the quizzes seems to try to trick you into the wrong answer. I cannot stand the instructor's voice either. It's like a slow bore that it's like it assumes he knows all the material and that it is a pain for him to teach it to such a population, when in reality, the course takes a drastic turn for the worse. Everyone else is lively and the quizzes are constructed well. Again, this one, it's like the questions are worded in such a way that you can't tell what they are trying to get at and there are multiple answers that fit the question. Take another course. I would suggest IBM.
