Here are what some of our past course attendees had to say about their experiences learning about statistics with Nicole:

“I found it not only informative but entertaining and Nicole made such a difficult subject so easy to understand. Most valuable is the fact that I can now interpret how clinical trials were carried out and how the researchers come to their conclusions. The benefits (of this course) are invaluable for anybody considering doing any research based projects.”

“Very good, great intro for someone like me who has only had limited stats experience. Great interaction and loved the small group setting. I liked that we used real life examples for e.g. stats related to recent current affairs such as COVID-19 pandemic, medical examples that we would use in clinical practice.”

“This course will help you understand the numbers so that you can ask the right questions about data collection, experimental design, or the interpretation of results.”

“Nicole presented the course in a clear and simple manner that felt inclusive for those who may not have a strong mathematical background. A statistics course can be very daunting, however, Nicole managed to patiently guide students through the course without making us feel ‘silly’ for not knowing something or asking questions which may have already been answered… which is very commendable! Nicole understood that not all of us taking the course necessarily want to be statisticians and I found this very comforting and reassuring. Thanks Nicole!”

“Dr Mealing is a truly exceptional teacher. Her ability to convey complex ideas in a concise, unambiguous and logical manner is first class. As a result of the covid-19 health crisis, I had the pleasure of learning from her through past university lecture recordings, which ignited my passion for statistics and mathematics as a basis for scientific discovery. As a result, it has greatly assisted me in my work as a investment manager to deliver better solutions to clients.”

“Complex statistics knowledge was taught in a light-hearted manner. Informative while in-depth. Can’t ask for more from Nicole!”

“Very practical and down-to-earth, really explaining effects of data properties on statistics results. I understand the limitations of methods and data much better. Thank you!”

“Very patient and good at explaining complex concepts in lay terms and in different ways. Really enjoyed the depth in explaining the fundamentals, and like the breadth and range of the course. Activities were great and really appreciated not being rushed.”

“Really like how you made it so interactive. Can imagine some of the topics getting very boring but you did a great job at avoiding that!”
