I liked these lectures as an intro of statistics for my students. It gives a hands on and a good intro of statistics. It consists of recorded lectures and sometimes the discussions between lecturer and students are a bit hard to hear. Also prerecorded voices that are used in the lectures are not easy to hear. I work as an environmental analyst at a Swedish university

Good intro of statistics but sometimes hard to hear
