Excellent examples of the use of stats; especially the case examples.

Excellent.

I really enjoyed the presentation. The presenter gave practical information about statistics in a way that was easy to understand.

Really enjoyed this presentation.

Great introduction to a complex subject. At first, I felt both overwhelmed and underwhelmed because I did not grasp the particulars of the examples and believed I needed more understanding of the fact patterns to grasp the concept/s being presented. However, I think that I now have a great outline to consult to map out the important considerations I need to consider when preparing to present a particular case in a very wide variety of scenarios.

Solid basic course that I enjoyed.

Presentation was somewhat dry, but I suppose that's to be expected given the subject matter.

Very good information on statistics.
