Good course! The videos and instruction are very good. I thought the week 4 coursework was substantially more difficult than the prior three weeks, so be prepared for that. Overall, I really enjoyed the class.

Thanks, I enjoyed the course teaching and new knowledge. Looking forward to continue with the next course in this specialization.

I really like how there were lots of examples for us to practice on. It helped to reinforce what we were learning

This is a great course, I think people starting this should get a grasp of basic statistics and working knowledge of excel to make the learning experience much better. However, I think this course is straightforward and the instructor does go over the material very well! Topics on time series forecasting is a bit of a challenge but follow the videos and exercises, you will be fine:)

It is one of the best compact course in Excel spreadsheet in coursera. It covers several advanced topics in Statistics and Data Analysis by using a lot of advanced techniques in Excel combining with the corresponding literacy.

The main syllabus prepares someone to follow other methods in Machine Learning and Time-series Statistics (like, ARIMA) or Classification Methods, even though to learn these important methods. It was a happy moment to learn about data cleaning and several concepts like Pivot Tables, Interaction Statistics, Seasonal Analysis,... etc.

After this successful attendance, I am very confident to work on Prediction Analysis by using a spreadsheet and being able to explain what happens in different numerical results and graphs. This course applies as a complement unit to a solid background in statistics and mathematics (i.e., series expansion, F-test, etc) for a better understanding of the common stochastic models in Time-series module. It is not a mathematically oriented unit but the mathematics is the basic thinking.

A special note: This course gives a first view of Excel Solver for optimization problems that is important to the course 3 of this specialization.

This course is the basic of business analytic course but not easy for me because my English is not good. Instructor De Liu teach easy to listen ,clearly and very helpfully for choosing accuracy data analytic model with demonstrated examples. I don't good at in English but I can listen and understood the lesson that you can learn 30 minute/day very short and suitable for study among working day.

Loved the forecasting lecture. I've used other forecasting methods but learned the composite method first time. Highly recommended course for supply chain and manufacturing students and professionals.

This course is amazing. very well structured and logical teaching sequence and explaination. I've learned through this course more than the lectures from my university. thanks a lot !

Best course structure, very practical, the professor presents very well and easy to follow. I like the exercises and snap quiz within videos. One of my best course so far on Coursera.

This course did a great job of covering many topics and explaining their applications so that you can use the tools in real world scenarios.

Great course, good topic material and examples and well taught. Overall it was useful and relevant.

A well planned course on predictive modelling with hands on practice on MS Excel.

Great Thank for sharing precious Information.

very clear explaination thank you

it was an excellent simple course

Fantastic course :)

best instructor

i like it

Contents presentation is very good.

Given 1 star less due to non inclusion of ARIMA models.

I found that the course exams questions were difficult to read for a dyslexic because of the cell format and font
