How did you find the contents (how it was delivered) and the assessments of the course? 

The contents were very useful for industry today and they are important for chemists as we are not exposed to learn how to design experiments. PCA is an important skill to know to deal with big data. I would highly recommend this course to Chemistry students especially if you are going for internships soon. 

How was your experience with the course? 

Very positive, took away many important skills needed for the industry. Less scared of programming now.
