Nice introductory course, but it was way too theoretical and easy for me (I completed the course in just two days). Some assignments were not available for me to solve, because there cloud trial version of Analytic Solver for Mac did not work well. Also it would be more interesting for me to know how to solve these problems with Excel from scratch without using some external software, which costs money. Anyway, I got some insights and ideas how to use statistical and mathematical models for solving business problems.

Para mi el curso empieza muy bien, pero ya en la semana dos se torna muy técnico, y no tan estratégico, ademas es necesario tener un programa que en mi caso no tengo, mi expectativa era más un curso gerencial y de toma de desiciones que de minería de datos. Por todo lo anterior he tomado la decisión de no continuar y buscar un curso que sea más gerencial. gracias!

O conteúdo do curso é ótimo, o professor é excelente. Senti muita dificuldade porque não consegui usar o Analitics Solver Plataform. É preciso encontrar alternativas open source como o pacote lpsolve do R, códigos Python, ou mesmo alguma solução para Libreoffice. Senti muita dificuldade por causa disto.

In my opinion, this course uses good tools for BI and decision making, however mostly of them are paid or request access to MS office. Many people do not have access to excel, only to google spreadsheet. In general the course teaches good skills to conduct analysis.

I like how the proffesor explains but I think that ASP is not the best platform for this analysis. The videos are not updated and sometimes the way to do some exercises is not the same as shown in the videos

I believe if we have a list of exercises that would be great, we could understand better the tools and principles in many situations. The exercises and tests are basic and they don´t really challenge us.

The high level topics are there, but I find it very difficult to believe that any F500 company uses this excel macro as the foundation for data analytics.

Very good insights and applicability to real cases. I would have liked though to having practical cases with less "pre-done" work by the instructor.

Too much dependence on XL minor is a negative for the course. Text book code and course code will give XL miner access for 15 days which is a pain

The Analytic Solver Platform did not work properly, despite the environment was given. I can not give more for this course.

The course was heavily designed based on the tool. I would rather learn more details of, for example, optimisation.

Stimulating course, the low valuation is due to the fact that slides shown during lesson are not made available

It is a good course but if you cannot get Analytical Solver Platform it can be hard.

Excel sheets are not available for downloads as mentioned in the different modules

The professor's accent is hard to understand and he speaks very fast

It needs a solver software that is paid and very difficult to get.

wish it were not taught in excel but R or some other softwares

Its a basic level course. And mostly its software based

videos are good. on a mac, the tools are hard to use.

Nice content but poor way of spreading information

it was a wonderful experience

not that fascinating

very critical course

I hate XLMINER :(

good course
