Gives a great overview of every important topic in statistics. However, lots of things aren't explained thoroughly. I had to use other websites to gain a sufficient understanding of lots of material.

Peer reviews helped me ensure I learned the content. Sometimes the test doesn't verify that a student is learning. Aside from that I was able to freshen up on my math skills.

Very intersting and insightful course. I believe some topics, especially those that come up often, could have been clarified further through definitions rather than mere examples
