by BAHJA H. on June 28, 2026
This course provided a thorough and well-structured introduction to statistics. The milestone assessments were challenging but fair, and the tutorials were helpful for reinforcing key concepts. I feel confident in my understanding of probability, data analysis, hypothesis testing, and regression. Highly recommend to anyone looking to build a solid statistics foundation.
by Potino Zikki M. on June 28, 2026
Not sure how this will help with my degree. But I have somewhat of an understanding of how a website works. It's cool making websites with AI, but actually understanding whats going on is pretty cool as well.
by Yaritza D. on June 28, 2026
Not hard just have to do the readings or honestly have already take n biology, it's a pretty fun subject to take and understand.
by Taylor W. on June 28, 2026
I really enjoyed this course! It was easy to navigate and super helpful.
by Tiffany M. on June 28, 2026
I really enjoyed this Macroeconomics course and learned a lot about how the economy works. It helped me better understand topics like inflation, unemployment, GDP, and interest rates, and how they affect businesses and everyday life. I liked being able to connect what we learned to current events. Some of the concepts were challenging at first, but overall I thought it was a great course and feel like I have a much better understanding of macroeconomics.
by Casey C. on June 28, 2026
Could completely be I hate Algebra but woosh! Not my favorite class I have taken so far.
by Edson R. on June 28, 2026
Extremely long, kinda hard. Open book is the only reason I can pass this class.
by Laquilla C. on June 28, 2026
This course was very informational and easy to navigate. The encouragement texts and emails were very helpful as well.
