HIGHLIGHTS
TOP REVIEWS FROM MANAGING DATA ANALYSIS
I really liked the extensive readings to supplement the video presentation. I am a visual learner, seeing the words and graphs were a very beneficial supplement.
Like other reviewers said, this course is larger than the two previous courses. The content is excellent but I am giving 4/5 stars because I found many misspelled words throughout the course lectures.
Prof. Roger Peng does an outstanding job in teaching this course with a positive attitude and presents the subject matter in an easy to understand fashion. I very much enjoyed this course!
Everybody should complete this course before and even after starting to analyse data because the course helps me to understand better and to have a more comprehensive view.
