FEEDBACK

I have taken courses with Professor Bateh and they were my favorite classes. The classes were both interesting, and the information taught was insightful. He did a wonderful job at answering the many questions I had and providing quick, thorough feedback. I highly recommend taking his classes.  - Pamela Scott


Dr. Bateh's presentations are excellent. His enthusiasm about the topics he tackles makes the class more interesting. Using analogies and real-life examples, he simplifies and makes accessible for everyone in class complex issues in business. I have 20 years of Senior Leadership experience, and Dr. Bateh, even when he is humble, has solid knowledge and experience in the field. He shares that with anyone open to learning. I consider him as a reference for me on those topics and in all of my career, I had been in contact with many academics, but few as valuable for learning as Justin Bateh.  - Dr. Gustavo Olivera


I had the privilege of having Dr. Bateh as my instructor in the course. I was immediately struck by his teaching style and ability to connect with the audience. Dr. Bateh demonstrates empathy, kindness, and a deep understanding of the topics he teaches. I loved the way that he demonstrated various applications of the field. His ability to take what could be a mundane topic and make it so relevant and interesting is such a gift. Dr. Bateh is generous with his time and in fostering mentoring relationships with students and professionals alike. I would highly recommend that any student pursue the opportunity to connect with and learn from him. - Stacey Pecenka

They often mention a textbook, which of course I don't have and a website that seems to no longer exist. When using examples of data sets, they are using some examples that we haven't been given. It would be nice to get all the datasets to be able to practice and make sure what I've done is what was done in the example. I've taken copious notes and hope to apply this to some of my work otherwise.

By Lake on 3/5/2025

This course has one of the most unique analytical tools and presentations most especially when it comes to the practical aspects. Best course I have seen! Thanks.

By Digvijay Deore on 11/7/2024

It was great to understand the different Statistical techniques and understand descriptive statistics details.

By Anonymized User on 11/5/2024

The entire sections 6 and 7 lack of more explanation and details. The material seems not to be updated to follow the exercises and it goes along with a lot of technical language not covered before.

By Purnima D on 10/29/2024

This was a very detailed course. More for those who want to build career in data analystics. I was looking for a course to get an overview of this topic as a step towards understanding AI tools.

By Sheikh Enayet on 4/3/2024

The lectures are very clear, short enough not to get lost but full of the necessary information. Many concepts that I already learnt or heard now are clearer. Thank you Justin!

By Anonymized User on 1/23/2024

Not engaging presentation, too much text instead of visual representation and lack of focus on the examples; I'd excpect a single project to walk through the whole concepts and excercises.

By Justice Hamilton McAdoo on 8/12/2023

The slides were easy to follow. I enjoyed the tone and professionalism of the speaker. I can use these slides to practice statistics.

By Kay Bland on 4/12/2023

I enjoyed the course very much. The presentation does good and well as the material. I will be repeating this course for my own reinforcement and review of the information.

By Avishek Halder on 4/3/2023

I liked the details on sampling sections and etical issues. The section for Excel based analysis and Analysis tools option in Excel was also helpful information.
