Introductory level stats skills and theories
I learned pretty basic skills about statistics that I would have learned in an AP Statistics class, plus a few more concepts.
I learned nothing from the lectures and everything from my tutor. Statistics is a challenging topic and Professor Elbulok just read off the slides in a monotone voice, hardly ever showing the class how to step-by-step solve each problem. If I did not get a tutor for this course I would have most certainly failed.
Good overview of Stats. Happy to learn it. Definitely useful and important in understand all the studies we see in the media.
learned about the background of many topics and calculations in statistics, applying that to real life scenarios, and some maths part ( the second half of the semester was much more focused on maths).
Statistical concepts, algorithmic thinking
I learned a wide range of basic statistical concepts from statistical reasoning to mathematical formulas.
I learned how to approach demographics with a proper statistical mindset. This meaning, I understand what questions to ask in order to understand how significant a statistic really is. I also learned different formulas to help me perform calculations that prove my own statistical claims
Analyzing statistical data verbally. How to identify reliable data
This is a very primitive introduction to the subject that is digestable.
