My work involves working with observational data. This course taught me to think in more formal and organized way on topics and questions of causal inference.

Good introductory course. I wish there were more quizzes (at least another 2 more), testing our knowledge of various formulae for computing IPTW (inverse probability of treatment weights), ITT (intent to treat) and at least one more lab in R

One of the best courses in Coursera, Professor with lots of experience in a backpack show how to tackle very complex problem of causal inference. This is a topic every data analyst should know doesn't matter which industry you work or learn.

It is a very useful course that combines conceptual and technical aspects of Applied Causal Inference.
The presentations are very clear, the Examples and Exercises (R-coded) have been very useful for me to practice specific R-packages.

Great course, especially if you are reasonably familiar with R and basic stats and interested in approaching causal analysis. Word of caution: If you have never used R, you will have trouble getting through some of the assignment.s

I was a novice in causal analysis. But I needed some education in counterfactual estimation. This course provided me with the necessary knowledge and tools. I especially enjoyed the matching, IPTW and IV chapters. Thank you!

Really wonderful course--I learned so much in the way of theory and practical application in R. Some links need to be updated and it would be best to provide students with answers to worked examples for the quiz questions.

I really appreciate that this course is available on Coursera. It was exactly what I was looking for - a well-explained reliable course with interesting examples, quizzes and small projects to try in R.

Great introduction on the causal analysis.The instructor did a great job on explaining the topic in a logical and rigorous way. R codes are very relevant and helpful to digest the material as well.

Great class! I have learned a lot on causal inference to conduct experiment analysis at work. The R coding sessions and lectures on the logic/math behind are really helpful.

A great start for those starting to explore causal inference. The somewhat dry delivery of the lectures is fully compensated by how clear and informative they are.

Great introduction to the field covering model synthesis of causality ideals. Glitches in assignments - make sure to check the discussion for workarounds.

Excellent video lectures. Challenging end of module quizzes. I found more challenging doing the practical exercises because I had no experience with R.

Great course. Very clear and practical.
Personally I would have preferred coding and exercises in Python, but overall a great course.

Excellent course. This course helped me to develop my intuition on some of the more abstract concepts in causality.
