It was great. I could get a experience hands on and every skill were very useful. In other stats courses, I mostly felt hard to embrace the thoughts. Here, the instructors were very very insightful.

I really don't see the reason for all the hate for this course and the specialization.
Pros:
Robust syllabus on statistics and mathematics that covers all the important concepts in inferential stats
Ample example python notebook files for students to reference
High quality lectures and content
Manageable assignments and quizzes
Lots of guided examples (week4) and excellent readings written by UoM on statistics and data analysis theory and practices.
Student forum support from lecturers is excellent
Cons (minus 1 star):
While the material in this course is good, we should be given some notes with formulas and diagrams to accompany us at the start of week 2 and 3 (the hardest ones)
A person without a background in python will struggle in this specialization because you need to have programing skill and experience and the introductory practices are not enough.
You need to have some prior experience with stats or a pre-college/college year 1 text book to accompany you if this is your first time learning stats. The start-middle phase content at each chapter is explained and NOT skipped, but it could use more elaboration. I had to source elsewhere on the internet for the gaps in my knowledge (which were easily found). It is just missing a few elementary level explanations (how to calculate P values and what tests to use in different scenarios) to understand the more complex topics. I learned hypothesis testing in high school and had to refer to my textbooks for a few explanations and diagrams.
Summary:
Very satisfied with this course for what I got out of it, I gained multiple skills and a lot of familiarity with theory and examples.
