All of the courses I have taken through Statistics.com have been excellent in providing understanding of statistical concepts by focusing on the logic and theory behind the equations and formulas, which has allowed me to maximize my learning experience

Every professor has unique and great qualities in them and the unique and great quality that I found in Prof Anthony Babinec is that he can write pages of explanation for each and every line in the book... He is an awesome professor. He explained each and every doubts we had to the perfection.

The Statistics.com courses have helped me a lot, pushing me to the limit and making me learn much more than I expected I could. The knowledge I gained I could immediately leverage in my job ... then eventually led to landing a job in my dream company - Amazon.

I am working for Scotiabank/International Banking-Marketing (Toronto-Canada). Since we are manipulating tons of data at the customer level for more than 27 countries, R would be the perfect complement tool (we have been using SAS) for customer analytics. I am new on this R world but I would like to apply it on a daily basis soon.

The professor and assistant instructor were incredibly responsive and helpful. This was my second Statistics.com class - your faculty are an incredible asset, making these classes the best learning experience I've had online. (And thank you, thank you, thank you for not *requiring* discussion board participation. It makes the discussion much more organic, relevant, useful, and enjoyable.

Overall, the instructor and the assistant instructors were responsive and helpful. The homework grading was done in a timely way and the model answers were helpful. All in all, I learned a lot and am eager to practically apply these strategies.

There are many things I like about your educational product. You include variety, such as the videos, the homework, the quizzes, the textbook, and the discussion board. You have well-thought out curriculum that shows a respect for good pedagogy. Your instructors are amazing! They are brilliant, and they respond very quickly! You apply real-world needs to the material being taught instead of having students memorize formulas or be confined within an academic-only practice of modeling.
Jonathan Jenkins
Great explanations provided by the course instructor in the videos and on the discussion board. The Assistant Teacher was very diligent and professional in reaching out to me and giving me every opportunity to be successful in this course! Definitely a wonderful experience!!!

Over the last two summers, I've taken the two stats courses meant to prepare future AP Stats teachers. Those courses were invaluable to me and gave me the confidence I needed to tackle a difficult subject.

I think the resampling approaches are refreshing and insightful. And the textbooks are marvelous in their clarity of expression and real world examples. I have told many of my colleagues about this wonderful and refreshing online medium for learning about statistics.

I look forward to taking another course on statistics.com - a great way to continue learning in a structured manner, but flexible enough to participate while Life continues.
David Plumstead
My statistical knowledge and base continues to increase significantlynow with each additional Statistics.com course taken. While I may not be usingall the learnings directly in my day-to-day work (for example, regressionmodeling or calculating sample sizes), they are all influencing how I thinkabout, approach, and work with data every day; the way in which I describe andpresent data and findings to others; and the way in which I interpret otherstudies and reports from other researchers, analysts, and statisticians, etc
