Since I've had advanced classes in statistics and econometrics, I took this course mainly for the "Bio-" than for the "-statistics" part. I wanted to know more about the application of statistics to life sciences. Due to this particular interest, I was a bit disappointed. The course is relatively short but full of great entry-level information. If you never took a statistics course or if it's been a while and you want to remember the fundamentals, then you should take this course. But if, like me, you are looking for advanced statistical methods and their application in fields such as medicine or biology, you will not find that here.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Even though I have a background in statistics, it was a great review for some subjects. I also learned a lot of new things as well. I would definitely recommend this to anyone that's trying to learn some statistics. It's even suitable for someone with little statistics background. However, the only downside is that there isn't much focus on the "bio-" of biostatistics. The instructor does use many clinical examples, but that does not seem to be a focus of the course.
