It's a great course, loved the way Prof. Karl Schmedders explains things. However one area of improvement of this course is - the methods adopted in the exercises needed to be covered in the lectures.

Wow. What an amazing journey. Engaging, exciting, and as far from broring as it is possible while providing actual knowledge. Perfect balance. The only downside of this course is that is it too short.

It was a good basic course of the intuitive introductory course.
keep it up and provide it with some more extension.
and provide the basic structure of the formulas as well to the excel built in function.
I personally didn't understand the infrastructure of the NORM.S.INV() what is the logic behind?

While the lectures was interesting, I found flaws in exercises part and material navigation. We need more difficult exercises to practice or maybe links to some external tasks. Also navigation bar is bad. There's no way we can get back to completed videos on different weeks.

The questions were too easy. Always just two questions. It's too much of watching the teacher talk, video edition could be used more. Some graphs and animations to "see" the concepts would be wellcome.

For an introduction, it is fine. But could have been way deeper. I could not learn how to tackle difficult and tricky probability problems.

The in-class quizzes are not relevant and exercises uninteresting. Otherwise interestingly conducted and helpful course.

It started out very well, but towards the end there was inadequate intuition provided. For instance, the binomial and normal distribution done directly through functions in excel stripped away the intuition. There was a missing base to these. Overall, the examples picked out were very interesting and would capture my attention.

No feedback. Quizzes don’t show answers and there’s no feedback so you end up guessing in order to figure out what he’s talking about. Waste of time.

Extremely distracting accent and voice, can't focus at all on what is being said

The multiple choice questions in the quizzes, with their slippery, quite similar yet tricky possible answers, makes the course absolutely distracting.

Worst experience on coursera so far. Parts of the course were locked for weeks for some unknown reasons. No progress possible.
