Comments from students

The teacher is so great, love this course so much! He always tells us some interesting stories and very funny. He explains the model clearly and vividly. Quite interesting and useful course.

Through this course we have learned a very useful R language, which will be of great help to our future data analysis. The professor provided a lot of questions for us to practice and strengthen the knowledge

Lecturer is great. He has passion to teach us.

The coverage and design of the course is comprehensive, practical, and useful. The pace of teaching is also about right.

Good teacher

Dr. SUN has the strong background of the statistical knowledge and he can use the most effective way to help his students understand the difficult theories.
