Course comments/praise (very biased selection!):
"This course overqualified me for a course on scientific computing at Harvard the following Summer."
[Dennis Christensen (2009 course), Venture Cup winner and now researcher at DTU Energy]

"I recommended this course to everyone I know."
[Pernille Yde (2009 course), now Head of Section of Data Science Lab at Statistics Denmark]

"I don't think that you can rightly call yourself a physicist, if you have not had a course of this type."
[Bo Frederiksen (2010 course)]

"My second project in the course led to an article now in review for Nature Communications magazine!" (it was accepted)
[Ninna Rossen (2011 course), now Assistant Professor, Biotech Research & Innovation Centre (BRIC)]

"If you really want to understand your data, you need a course like this."
[Julius Bier Kirkegaard (2012 course), now senior PostDoc in BioComplexity group]

"I realized that I was very well prepared by this course, when I started working at CERN as a Summer Student."
[Mathias Heltberg (2013 course), now senior PostDoc in BioComplexity group]

"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. Når jeg tænker tilbage på mine 2.5 års fysikstudier står Anvendt Statistik frem som noget af det sjoveste og mest spændende."
[Martin Hayhurst Appel (2014 course)]

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

"The best lecturer I had in my 3 years of studies in UCPH."
[Anonymous (2016 course)]

"I miss the course very much."
[Niccolo Maffezzoli (instructor in 2015+2016 course, in 2017 as a PostDoc)]

"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 så velstruktureret og gennemført et kursus, som dit. Du burde være en inspiration for alle professorer på universitetet".
[From a student in the 2018 course, despite the person chosing the re-exam!]

"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!)]

"The lectures are simply a joy to witness. If only all lecturers were like these, KU would likely be number 1 in terms of having a good time learning (and the p-value of that is 0.99)."
[Anonymous, 2020 evaluations for Ph.D. students]

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

"Applied Statistics må efterhånden tage førstepladsen som det mest brugbare enkeltstående kursus jeg har haft."
[Casper Windahl Jensen (2021 course, after an Email discussion of the Chauvenet Criterion)] "If you feel a lack of sun in the Danish Winter you can see one of his lectures where he shines bright."
[Anonymous, Last line in the 2021 evaluations]

"The topic is super relevant. In my bachelor degree at some point everyone expected us to know how to analyse data but nobody ever taught us statistics properly, only random bits here and there. So it was great to get a proper overview."
[Anonymous, 2022 evaluations]
