Testimonials

“

This course absolutely blew my mind in terms of the predictive power and possibilities that comes with statistics. I was especially mesmerized by the idea that you could transform a simple map into a geo-coordinate chart, which can then be used to predict potential locations of next hits. Amazing.

“

This was a very well-developed course. It kept me engaged and provides a solid foundation to develop crime studies at my agency.

“

Fantastic. Literally, so much fun. I felt like I was doing a puzzle game, or a virtual escape room, every time I came to class.

“

I wish every online class I have taken was in this format. I was able to learn a lot more than I thought I would in the time this course started to the time this course ended.

“
