This is a pretty good write-up: https://blog.udemy.com/correlation-coefficient-interpretation/

And Polish or Hindi or a dozen other languages will give you insights in the UK. Looking at https://blog.udemy.com/how-many-countries-speak-spanish/ tells me that outside of the Americas, I can use Spanish in Spain Gibraltar (which is painfully British) Andorra It makes sense for Americans to take Spanish as a second language, but for Europe; Arabic and Russian are in countries that are far closer, French and German are more widely spoken in Europe. Spanish is only useful if you go to Spain on holiday, and then not in the normal resorts.

I had to look the defninition of Non-Cognitive skills. Below is an example. https://blog.udemy.com/non-cognitive-skills/ Once I understood what they were I realize that I have encountered the behavior in my life anecdotally. Also, I realize the ones that I am deficient in. EDIT: The study has a definition that I missed when reading it. See tboyd47's comment below.

As an Applied Mathematician I just used books that talked about probabilities but for explaining my work to co-workers who were not trained I found the following to be helpful http://www.wikihow.com/Understand-and-Use-Basic-Statistics For actual learning the following may be helpful https://blog.udemy.com/learn-statistics/ For open Source Books http://www.intechopen.com/search?q=statistics http://freecomputerbooks.com/search.html?cx=partner-pub-59760689137457… HAve fun, and remember the famous quote From Mark Twain http://www.twainquotes.com/Statistics.html

It was part of the blog post Udemy posted.[0] "Many of you have asked about what happened to the money received from Troy’s course. There was none. As the fraudulent instructor had created coupon codes to allow students free access to the course, no money was exchanged in this process."

Yes, in fact they took down the course in question the next day after it was reported: https://blog.udemy.com/maintaining-the-integrity-of-our-udemy-communit…

This actually led to a really good course author having an issue with them over this. (Alan Richardson who hosted a very good technical testing course and a good selenium/webdriver course). I believe he still has those courses but he intially opted out of their discount program. A course he sold for $200 would have been sold for far less which undermined his own brand but also didn't give him a fair shot at earning from it, especially since he was helpful in responding to any questions I had. I was lucky and took the course when it was $200, it shortly after went up to $300 due to changes in revenue sharing based around coupon codes. This also meant he stopped offering for free a really helpful free course on technical testing. (The source of this information is through course announcements made at the time, I can publish them in full here.) This post from udemy to instructors is interesting reading: https://blog.udemy.com/announcement/ One benefit of the udemy over the pluralsight model is that years later I still have access to the course and can revisit it, without paying an on-going subscription. Pluralsight overall seems to have better content, at least from a software developer perspective.
