Instructors have provided concise explanations of the concepts. There are many examples considered that make statistics easier to understand! Also, the illustrations are fancy. I enjoyed every video!

The course is good because it collects pieces of information together if you have studied something before. But I went through it for a very long time (relative to other specialization courses) and lost motivation several times, had to take breaks. Some topics are not described in such detail and with incomprehensible examples, which is why it is go difficult to solve problems. Tasks with R are generally difficult - but not because it's code (i'm good with it) – most often tasks were not related to lectures in the subject, and often instead of using functions and other convenient methods in R, you had to solve everything manually, simply substituting the numbers in the formula. But what's the point then in the code?
I would also like to draw attention to the fact that it’s very difficult to pass tests, sometimes the question and answer options are ambiguous, or it seems that there can be more than one answer.
Also important is the fact that the curators do not answer questions at all on the forum, I met questions written six months or a few months ago - and they were unanswered. How so?
In general, I am glad that I took this course, but I can’t say that it practically helped me. You will have to watch other courses to fill in the gaps and understand what was not explained here.

The instructor failed to explain many parts; such as why we don't use T-distribution for proportion, why use n-1 instead of n in some equations, etc. The discussion forum is sooo quiet, I appreciate some students who try to help other out. R lab is the most annoying part, you barely need any understanding at all; all you need is remembering the function and understand the convention what instructions are telling you (which is so varying or sometimes not telling you and you have to go back to see what it is in the previous questions). I feel R lab is not useful.

The use of R Lab is good, and one of the instructors is good. The second instructor is not describing the topics in an accessible way and rushes through slides. There are errors in the slides that have been reported years ago and not corrected - this causes more confusion. You cannot see what you go wrong and an assessment in order to learn what you need to spend more time on. I ended up having to go to external sources for information which begs the question: why am I investing in this course?

Most of the courses didn't feel like basic statistics, they were very hard, plus a lot of the presentations were difficult to understand. I felt that there is a significant disparity between the two lecturers; the way they present the learnt materials is very different. In several times i had a gap and had to look for more information online. This is called "basic statistics" and it felt like i was supposed to start the course with a previous knowledge which i didn't have.

The third week kills a good impression over the first two weeks. Therefore, I do not recommend the course, especially the "lab" part. However, I must admit that the 3rd week was the last because the lab assignment and lack of support killed my motivation. And for that reason, I do not know the further weeks of the course.

It is a difficult topic to understand on your own, without any support at all from professors. They go too quickly on each topic and it is hard to understand how to use it in practice. Despite the efforts in making attractive and easy to grasp videos (congrats for that), it is unfortunately not a topic for self-learning.

i am totally unaware right now on how to use R. I enrolled in the course in anticipation of imrpoving my statistics skills and now i am completly frustrated with the R lab so its very difficult for me to continue with the course but i will return if and ever i will improve my r skills.

I struggled with understanding the concepts. At the first read, they made sense, but when trying to solve problems they stopped making sense. There were errors in the calculations too, and more examples would have really helped.

Course takes a lot longer than is indicated. R-lab is almost half the course, this is not clearly indicated in the course description. Course is not learner-friendly. I would not recommend this course.

I've only gotten started, but there seems some assumptions made about how much we know and how quickly we can pick up these new terms and ideas.

The program is good. The videos not so much. The professors are speaking pretty fast. It would have been good to have some written material.

The course needs more practice within the course, like engaging exercises throughout the video.
