Not a completely terrible introduction, but there are no materials to refer back to but a few online articles. The course maybe takes 30 hours if you stretch it out. The assignments are terrible and for that reason alone this course should be suspended until amended. I hope that the actual university behind this produces better materials for the sake of their students.

The course content is very nice. What would make it better is give out one uniform example across all modules so the learner can actually get a feel of a comprehensive project from the very first phase (root causes analysis) to the finish line (execution plan specifics). Another area of improvement that would make the course even more valuable is actual application per module providing and asking for more specifics on how to apply DOE, or Lean or Six sigma. All and all, very informative.

A very focused, informative, and helpful course.

The information is brought in an easy way to follow, and the knowledge is built step by step, until the final task of actual data analysis of a case using very advanced techniques.

Very recommended!

All courses in this specialization are great. However, activities are vaguely described and it's very difficult not only for the student but also for graders. This makes very difficult to get a passing grade in the final projects.

Projects of this specialization are out of context and almost meaningless; the content is not for beginners and doesn't add value for those who understand the content.
