A Coursera bootcamp from Johns Hopkins covering the mathematical foundations of biostatistics, presented as a quick but careful treatment of the math behind statistical methods. Commenters contrast it with the MITx probability course and the Coursera data science specialization.
One commenter says it is a little more careful about the math than the courses in the data science specialization, though it is quicker than the MITx probability course.

I thought they got better compared to the first few classes, but they do really revolve around R. For a rigorous treatment of the subject matter, the MITx course on Probability is really good. [1] You could also take a look at the two JHU "Mathemtical Biostatistics Bootcamp"[2] courses. Those are also quick compared to the MITx course, but a little more careful about the math than the courses in the data science specialization are.
I haven't ever used Spark, and I like R, but I am going to take the Berkeley/EdX course.
