The course was very interesting. A lot of concepts were touched up on, but the explanation part was a little less. I can label it as a very good introductory course to Statistics.

Peer reviews helped me ensure I learned the content. Sometimes the test doesn't verify that a student is learning. Aside from that I was able to freshen up on my math skills.
