Excel itself is easy, but it’s not easy to understand, for example. This is the most difficult issue that I faced. The course focuses on financial and business parts, and I am a an engineer

A leader in a data driven world requires the knowledge of both data-related (statistical) methods and of appropriate models to use that data. This Business Analytics class focuses on the latter: it introduces students to analytical frameworks used for decision making though Excel modeling. These include Linear and Integer Optimization, Decision Analysis, and Risk modeling. For each methodology students are first exposed to the basic mechanics, and then apply the methodology to real-world business problems using Excel. Emphasis will be not on the "how-to" of Excel, but rather on formulating problems, translating those formulations into useful models, optimizing and/or displaying the models, and interpreting results. The course will prepare managers who are comfortable with translating trade-offs into models, understanding the output of the software, and who are appreciative of quantitative approaches to decision making. Business analytics makes extensive use of data and modeling to drive decision making in organizations. This class focuses on introducing students to analytical frameworks used for decision making to make sense of the data, starting from the basics of Excel and working up to advanced modeling techniques.

Amazing course to support business decisions through statistics and data validation. Includes almost all the essential skills required to run and understand a business. Loved it.

Excellent, I was not able to solve the excel from what if analysis because I only have my phone to practice on so, many of the options where not available but I understood all the concepts.

Well guided course with gradually increasing difficulty level, yet explained in a lucid way. Next level (advanced) level courses are awaited from the faculty whose has immense knowledge of subject.

It is a beneficial course to understand the basic and slightly advanced principles of MS Excel and make use of the tools provided to solve modern business problems efficiently.

it is great. From the lessons to the tests it is super comprehensible and straight forward. Anyone looking to learn how to better use excel in a buisness enviroment, this is it.

Great course, Learn & apply my learning through the course is a great methods of learning. Midcourse & final assessment were great, it depicts the real world use case scenario.

This course starts off strong but weakens at week 2. Not enough explanation of WHY you are using certain functions and references, and the instructor needs to SLOW DOWN. Please stop trying to cram 60 minutes of lecture into 30 minutes of recording. Lastly, it would be much more helpful to include a walk through of how answers on quizzes are reached, instead of just letting you retake the quiz over and over and end up guessing the right answers in frustration.

Nice knowledge, until the Final Course. The solution is wrong, and I must to find the wrong answer by hand until I found that the key was wrong. Really waste of time
This is one of THE BEST courses on Coursera. I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The instructor is so precise with the teaching and the instructions. I am pleased with the learning, in fact, I learned a lot in this course that I previously didn't know. Although, the last few parts were a bit.. rushed I feel like, especially the nonlinear, binary, integer functions. If there were explained in a more detailed way, it wouldve been good. But the rest of the material is very good. Thank you for making this course! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is thinking of enrolling in it.
There are still some errors in the quizes. Overall a Linear Programming heavy course. Expected to learn more of Excel for ex: Macros, Pivot Table, etc. Not relevant to people who want to master Excel deeply.
If you thrive to excel, and need to upskill yourself, please enrol. The study material was simple to understand, yet allowed to inculcate the learnings into my domain of business.
Poorly deisgned. Course starts smoothly but after 2nd module there's a lot of issues that the learner might run into. Moreover the teaching meathodology and the course design is also not good, as what i felt. Most important of all, this course is not for beginners. It is designed for intermediate learners.
I am very grateful to opt this course. Each module of this course are symmetrical and very module connected to each other and it is easy for all to understand and perform the task as mentioned.
Final assignment was out of proportion with no hints or support..
before start they said its free certificate now its showing need to purchase
I had a positive experience with the course and that I found it to be highly informative, in particular, the skills acquired in Excel Spreadsheet, such as Linear Programming and Non-Linear Programming. These are both powerful tools that can help optimize a wide range of business processes and decision-making tasks.
Furthermore, the lecturer was proficient in presenting the course material and was able to explain the concepts in a clear and concise manner. This is a critical aspect of effective teaching, and it's great to hear that the instructor was able to deliver the course material in a way that resonated with me.
Overall, the ability to learn new skills and acquire knowledge is an invaluable asset, and it's fantastic that I was able to do so through this course. I hope that I am able to apply these new skills to my work or personal life and that they prove to be beneficial to me in the future.
As a student majoring in marketing, I also find this course very helpful and easy to understand. I comprehend the material after each lesson, and I am able to complete assignments.
I learn a lot. but to be honest the last part is very challenging which means I have to learn more.
Thank you for your support for sharing knowledge.
This is a Great course with advanced programming techniques using excel. Professor used clear examples and practical application throughout the course
The course and teacher are good but the way the teacher rushes through it makes for a lot of rewinding and replaying of video to absorb the lessons. There is a reason poeple arent passing the exams and have to go back to the videos. The final project was another doozy. Some helpful info from other learners in the discussion forum but the teacher wasnt much help. Overall really liked the skills I learned but I think this course could have been presented and packaged much better.
After a month with this course I think I will unenroll - what a waste of time! There is too much information to absorb within each 30 minute exercise. If you are not already a maths pro I don't think you will understand a good proportion of this course. You end up hitting a brick wall on week 3 or 4 because of information overload. I have successfully completed plenty of courses and many self-help tech books (HTML, CSS, JS, PYTHON, LINUX) but the pacing of this course is just too steep.
Excellent course! I hope they add more courses to this one. More examples.
After putting considerable time into the lessons and passing all the assignments, you need to purchase a certificate. If you want a certificate to prove you have mastered the course material you must pay: the course is not free!!!
very bad as it do not give the explanation and only uses formula but do not explains why this formula have this or that
Good lessons and explanations. Great videos and speed. Lots of practice tests. To sum, the lessons, exercises and the professor: 5 stars, no doubt.
Just a few notes: if you don't have any/some experience with Excel, the course might get a little hard; on the other hand, if you know the basics of Solver and Excel functions, this will be a breeze (I completed this 6 week course in less than half the time).
And one single complaint: last week's graded tests have mistakes/complications; the final project is also pretty advanced compared to the rest of the course imo (which they warn you about in the quiz, and the passing grade is low because of this, but still), not to mention Solver can't find the solution- it took some trial and error, and a couple tries of the quiz to get the whole thing right. Lots of people have complained about this, so don't be surprised if this happens to you too.
