Very clear and understandable

As a data analyst, I have a good understanding of math and technology surrounding statistics. However, I struggle bridging the gap between statistical language and plain English. This podcast is very beginner friendly for anyone interested in statistics

Comprehensive and Lucid

As a computer science student, I have a good knowledge about Math but a limited knowledge about the statistics. I love the way the class is interactive as I had some of the doubts the students has.
