After reading Pearl's book, Causal Inference in Statistics, I found this course really put some meat on the bones, reviewing the basics and demonstrating, in a very clear and easy to understand way, how to conduct the analyses and make causal inferences. The examples in R were reasonably easy to follow and reproduce even for someone who has not used R (me).

I work in the field of Marketing, in a company that is actively exploring Causal Inference methods to estimate the impact of ads on the purchase behaviour. This course provided me with a solid understanding through illustrations and examples. This has changed my perception that experiments are the only answer to tease out a causal effect. Thank you Jason.

I really enjoyed this course. The pace was great for completing while also working. I found the lectures a good length and the worked examples were really useful, as were the data analysis assignments. I was able to apply the learning directly as a reviewer for a manuscript asked for matched analyses, so that was great. Highly recommend.

It's really the easiest way to approach Causality someone who is not from a pure Statistics background. The approach here is different from Judea Pearl's book and I think it's justified because this course was not only for computer science students. This course has changed my perspective on how to work with data.

The content is relaxing and easy to understand, yet extremely useful in real life when you are conducting experiments. The well designed quiz each week only takes a little time, but could help you to diagnose problems and remember the key points. I really love this course.

Excellent course. Builds a solid foundation from first principles. Should be a required course for anyone working as an applied statistician or data scientist. Most data science/ machine learning courses ignore causality altogether which is a real shame.

I really enjoyed this course, the pace could be more even in parts. Sometimes the pace could be more even and some more books/reference material for further study would be nice.

The course is very simply explained, definitely a great introduction to the subject. There are some missing links, but minor compared to overall usefulness of the course.

This is a great course to me! This course really helps me have a better understanding of what constitutes causal effects. I really appreciate him for this course!

Really good content and excellent teacher. One of the best courses I've had in Coursera

Great quick course that brings a overview of most used techniques

The material is useful and well-presented by Prof. Roy. Although recipes are provided for solving relevant problems in R, more familiarity with R will be required for applying them. Students should be prepared to develop that familiarity on their own.

Course is great for a general overview! That said, the discussion forums are poorly monitored and one of the exercise datasets needs to be updated. In any case, don't expect more from a Coursera course!

Insufficient replies to student questions in discussion and following code and lectures didn't provide enough information to complete the programming assignment. I ended up guessing until I got through the assignment. pointless waste of time.

Coming from an economics background, I really enjoyed seeing how causal inference is being approached in a different field. While the methods used are generally the same, the motivation of these methods or the focus on certain tools and aspects sometimes appears to differ. That really gave me a new perspective on some of the methods in my causal inference toolkit. Good course!

This course helped me secure a beachhead in the realm of Causal Inference. My background is in computer science and machine learning. I was struggling with all the terms used in Causal Inference. It is a fascinating topic and this course provides well connected, solid explanations of terms, theory and its application using R. Thank you.

A perfect course for starting with Causal inference. The course is full with many real world examples to help understand the concepts and applications. Not too mathematical and not too epidemiologic either which makes it perfect to understand an to follow. Thank you for such a nice introduction to causal inference.

This course is excellent. The quiz helps to make sure you get the key assumptions and method ideas right, while the programming exercises ensure that you know how each method works and how they can be implemented either manually or by using some of the available statistical R packages for causal effect estimation.

A great course in causality! I strongly recommend it to someone seeking to understand the foundations and assumptions in causal effect estimation. The professor explains the material at a good and understandable pace. I wish we had a follow-up course with more advanced use cases and other projects.

This course does a fantastic job of balancing the theoretical and practical aspects of causal inference. Additionally, it takes the student through three very different techniques of causal inference that apply to common real-world situations in a relatively short course.

One of the best courses I have taken on Coursera. Dr. Jason Roy's knowledge is second to none.

His explanation of the course makes it so much easier to understand the concept. Wish more courses to be offered by him.

Great Job, I have learned and enjoyed the course so much!

This is an excellent course. I audited the because I wanted to learn more about marching and prospensity score and it was awesome. The explanation is quite easy to understand. I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn casual inference.

Enjoy

This course is a short one, but power-packed. It gives a different dimension of understanding the data, it's linkages and further extrapolations. Each word of Jason has to be heard properly as he continues to explain facts in a very lucid manner.

This is a very good course to take if you want to get important causal inference methods concepts. Even though it has some math concepts, the Professor does a good job of introducing them really well for a beginner. I would strongly recommend!
