years ago
This was a really good review for me of statistical concepts- having taken my last college level stats class 30 years ago!
My last formal course in stats was 40 years ago and this was just right for me.
The concepts are presently clearly and I wish I had taken this course years ago!
The course helped me remember things I may, or may not, have learned in med school many, many years ago.
I took statistics class about twenty years ago and needed a refresher for a new writing job.
