"It is now many years ago, that I followed your course, but there is hardly a day, where I don't think about it"
[Frederik Beyer (2011 course, in October 2014)]

"This is without a doubt the single most useful, and possibly most influential, course I have taken during my university education. Thank you."
[Samuel Walsh (2013 course, in December 2014)]

"Tak for et fedt kursus. Naar jeg taenker tilbage paa mine 2.5 aars fysikstudier staar Anvendt Statistik frem som noget af det sjoveste og mest spaendende."
[Martin Hayhurst Appel (2014 course)]

"Every single sleepless night spent on this course has enriched my way of thinking."
[Arianna Marchionne (2015 course)]

"I miss the course very much."

"I am able to confirm your course is very demanding but indeed worth working for, for I could spend another 7 weeks on this interesting curriculum!"
[Jan de Boer 2017, upon having been told, that the course is demanding]

"This course has been one of the most important aspects of my education so far. I have heard this from earlier students again and again - i am happy to say that i understand why now!"
[Anonymous, Last line in the evaluation of 2017 course]

"I learned a lot when I took the course, and still a good deal of things the year after, when I was a TA in the course."
[Christian Michelsen, student in 2016 and TA in 2017+18 course]

"Jeg gerne udtrykke min taknemmelighed for at have haft muligheden for at deltage i et saa velstruktureret og gennemfoert et kursus, som dit. Du burde vaere en inspiration for alle professorer paa universitetet".

"I wanted to tell you, that this is the best course I ever had. And I've studied at four universities!"
[Vlad-Andrei Neacsu (2018 course)]

"Thank you for the amazing course. My view on measurements errors and statistics will never be the same."
[Valdemaras Petrosius (2019 course)]

"Thank you for the passing of knowledge. It was a mad statistical adventure, much more 'Applied' and worthwhile than any course I ever took!"
[Anonymous, evaluation of 2019?] "Dear Troels. Thank you for an amazing course. Taking statistics to a level, where more than 100 students hang on your every word deserves more than just a pair of socks, but nonetheless, we hope that they will bring you as much joy as you have brought us."
[Johann, Jonas, Jakob, and Christian (2019 course, with a pair of socks!)]

"This course should be part of every phyiscs Bachelor curriculum as it provides essential tools for scientific work."
[Anonymous, Last line in the evaluation of 2020 course]
