About the Course

This class presents the fundamental probability and statistical concepts used in elementary data analysis. It will be taught at an introductory level for students with junior or senior college-level mathematical training including a working knowledge of calculus. A small amount of linear algebra and programming are useful for the class, but not required....

Very nice and informative course, with really interesting examples. I like Brian's lectures and his humour and I find him very knowledgable and informative. I would definitely recommend this course.

I knew a lot about probability before starting this course, but I didn't know much of anything about frequentist statistics. This course helped me understand some tricky concepts.

I think it needs more problem examples, I found great difficulty is solving the problems in the quizes, and I found that the homeworks were useless since they don't include the answers, so I skipped them and just went to the quizes.

Brian Caffo is a delightful educator to hear his voice while explaining concepts, and I believe I could have got more use from him if I listened to him explain in person.

notations are not accurate, for example

log is NOT ln

Sometimes brackets are missing and that changes completely the result.

Maths is about rigour and I see little rigour in this course.

I also regret that so few proofs are given

The lectures are sometimes unnecissarily complex and difficult to follow. The quizzes need to be updated. Some quizzes included questions on topics that had not yet been discussed in the lectures.

The material and presentation are at the highest level, but the course is lacking real life examples, and contexts.

I need to have a class. I really think this course could hel me a lot.

Too many talk compared to dense content of slides, which is difficult. Grade tests far from examples in lecture.

Not a lot of feedback for a very hard course!

Too much theory with no practical usage. No examples provided and solution to the tests are not provided either.

There are much better courses out there.

This is advanced. There should have been a better outline as well as a real textbook
