    About the Course

    Welcome to Introduction to Statistics & Data Analysis in Public Health! This course will teach you the core building blocks of statistical analysis -
    types of variables, common distributions, hypothesis testing - but, more than that, it will enable you to take a data set you've never seen
    before, describe its keys features, get to know its strengths and quirks, run some vital basic analyses and then formulate and test hypotheses
    based on means and proportions. You'll then have a solid grounding to move on to more sophisticated analysis and take the other courses in

    Was a very nicely done and clear course to build or re-build foundation for most common statistical concepts and an intro to using R via R-Studio for your work with them on the basics.

    The course covered the basics of bio-statistics and using R for doing some of these statistics. But I found the lectures lacking in content related to what is to be learned. Most learning took place by taking tests, then referencing the internet to learn about the topics I got wrong. Many times what was asked in a test came later in learning material. Somehow feel the course could be better structured and more videos added to cover the topics asked in tests well as they are important.

    It says introduction to the course but I think it is presented in a manner (i.e., course materials and online reading) that makes it hard to learn, especially for someone without statistical background. I could learn because I had statistical knowledge and wanted to learn to use R.

    I would say 3.5. I enjoyed the earlier weeks of the course, but I was a bit confused once we got into R. I know this is a coursera course, but I do wish there were a way to get help when needed.

    Slightly excessive emphasis on calculating formulas and results by hand. Would have been much better to spend more time practicing R and understanding underlying concepts/principles.
