Learner Reviews & Feedback for Operations Research (1): Models and Applications by National Taiwan University

Nice introductory course for Linear Programming with a variety of real life application examples.

great course for beginners, got new insights about how to formulate a model for practical issues

cute girl

The instructor explained everything in his slides in the most lucid manner possible. I specially liked the last quiz wherein instead of MCQs, we had to put in the exact correct answer only to score a 100%. This actually checks the knowledge of the student as well as gives them the confidence to solve future problems at ease, as per my surmise.

the course is freshing, very different from the traditional OR courses.

And the teachers cold joke is some what pretty funny, I have learned a lot in this course, i will recommended for Taiwanese student especially in industrial engineering, for the teacher's speed isn't too fast and the pronouncing is pretty clear, really love it.

I​t is a good introductory course on optimizations. It does cover the business, mathematical modeling, and applications which is quite impressive to cover in a 6 weeks course. The presentation is outstanding. The course notes are very useful. This is one very organized MOOC delivery. Thank you professor and staff!

Excellent class. Very well explained. Very logical and concise. The only thing I would recommend is to, at least, mention that the problems can be solved with open source libraries like pulp for linear problems and cvxpy for convex ones. I used those to solve the final quiz.

Have learned about how to transform real problem to conceptual model, conceptual model to mathematical model, and finally get computer model. With computer model resolved by Excel, we could get candidate optimal solution.It's a pleasant learning journey!

optimal course structure for contents delivery.

we're empowered with both 'the big picture' and 'tactical details in problem solving'

friendly and inviting teaching style - a big thankyou to both the professor and the T.A

I am new to this field of operations research and I really enjoyed this course, learned a lot. I never used math before this way, it was great fun! Thanks!

Great course for those who wishes to get started with OR. explanation is good and problems are hard which help us cement the concept.

Great instructor and really good material!

Would have liked if he had provided references for further reading (books).

It's the first step to understand operations research and learn how to turn real problems into equations.

Easy to follow through as an introductory course. Examples are relevant, relatable and easy to digest.

Excellent course. Excellent teacher. The information is easily accessible and fully organized.

Awesome course! Highly recommended. Perfect Teacher. Similar as andrew ng. Thank you sir!

Great introductory course to this topic! I look forwards to taking the next one :)

Explanation right on the important things, what a course, thank you very much!!!!

A gentle but comprehensive introduction to the field of operations research.

Love the course very much. The quiz questions are extremely well designed.

Great combination of theory, practice and business-related examples

The course is conducted step by step. Easy to understand.

Good course for beginners in Operational Research.

Excellent content for a start in OR

An Amazing and insightful course.
