Title: Summer School of Statistical Methods

Well-organized course, erudite and pedagogically skilled lecturer Mr. Bednář, interesting work with Minitab and with illustrative examples. Personally, I would appreciate simpler examples, fewer examples from industrial practice and more work with MS Excel to understand the material (Minitab is a powerful tool, but for participants without a statistical background it is somewhat of a black box). Overall, I rate it positively, thank you. Greetings Jan Švoma

The summer school of statistics was quite useful and, above all, interesting for me. I liked the lecturer's presentation style, the well-prepared materials (taken pictures) in which we could write notes. If someone got lost, they could quickly find themselves thanks to the materials and possibly use a colleague who was available to those who were slower and less understanding. During the week-long course, we could also use refreshments in the form of a drink machine and small sweets. The course price also included lunch vouchers - a choice of up to 10 dishes, so great :-) At the summer school, we had the opportunity not only to click in the statistical program and try out all it can do, but we also played various games, the results of which we processed thanks to the statistical program in question. So a great example: school through games.

I rate the course as very high quality and understandable. I recommend it to anyone who wants to review or expand their statistical knowledge, or find inspiration for further scientific work.
