Hey mate.. the probability course was really rigorous and I found the difficulty to be hard, especially with a full time job. I failed the first time, but mostly because I didn't have enough time to study. It's awesome deep dive into the world of probability and lays a solid foundation to get into statistics. I'm currently taking the "Data Analysis for social scientists" course right now. It's ambitious and has a lot of content. However, the material only covers the subject at a very shallow level and expects a lot from the students when it comes to home work exercises. Also, make sure you learn R before you start the course, that'd help a lot.

I completed my bachelors in Electrical Engineering 14 years ago. I'd been looking to get some formal education in Statistics as I work as a data analyst. The course has been really good and I'm learning a lot of the theoretical aspects of Data analysis that I otherwise would never have learnt thought DataCamp or Udemy or others. I'm glad to have started it, however, it's not practical and it won't help you get a job immediately. It's very much academic in nature, however you can learn the practical stuff from other sources if you need to or learn it on the job. Depends on what you're after. I'm not doing it to get a job, rather doing it to get into academia. Hope that helps.
