About the Course

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....

Really not bad it goes over many different tools to use but as for the analytics part, if you do not really know where they are pulling the information from or how it will be a bit of a struggle. However, for a free course being a beginner it was worth the time spent.

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.
