Thank you for producing such a useful, high-quality course. Following David's tuition, I have been able to apply my new knowledge of stats to two of the research projects I am involved in. I feel much more confident reading and interpreting medical research papers. David presents what can be complicated topics in a clear and applicable manner and it's made a real difference.
