Quote:This weekend, the Wall Street Journal published a gushing little profile on Sebastian Thrun. ...Also this weekend, Thrun kicked off an effort to “break the student record for the largest online class ever taught” with his new class, Introduction to Statistics: Making Decisions Based on Data.
Wow! What realism!
Thrun's stats class is just like every undergrad computer science class I ever had. The instructor is a foreigner who speaks barely comprehensible English and misspells words like "square" and "histogram" (twice). You would think a guy teaching stats might at least have the vocabulary down.
