Learner Reviews & Feedback for Foundations of strategic business analytics by ESSEC Business School

Fantastic course. Focused on real life applications.

great

Good contents & course support, looking for more

Very challenging for a novice in data science and R programming.

Learnt how to apply standard statistic models on datasets.

Very helpful course from career perspective.

Thanks for the course. It was business oriented and very practical. It really added to the business analytics approach I was looking for.

A truly fabulous MOOC. Granted you have to be proficient in R and have an understanding of business practices for maximum benefit but it is well worth gaining such skills just to take this course - you won't regret it.

Some of the recitals are a little off and glaze over essential details. But, as a pragmatic and practical introduction to advanced techniques in R, I've not come across a better course. Very highly recommended.

Its OK

Great course which uses R to have you do classification, linear and logistic regression to address business topics.

I enjoyed this class, but the content feels amateurish. One major detracting factor is grading of the exams- a complete waste of time where there are multiple examples of contradictory slides to the quiz questions. The quizes often ask for information that is beyond the scope of the lectures and steadily becomes a process of just retaking exams until you get a 100%. I don't think the quizes reinforced the material in the lecture but actually took away from the class. This class was at it's best during the recitals, where I actually got to understand the great strategies used in the videos.

Prof. Glady is an excellent lecturer. The course is very well produced, and the recitals were a great introduction to using code to solve business questions.

This course does well to balance its focus on strategy and analytics. The analytics aren't overly in-depth, allowing for less technical individuals to reap benefits from the course. I highly recommend this course to consultants and business analysts.

This course is excellent when it provides the citations very fit to theory. And I learned it in well organized structure of knowledge. Thank Prof. Glady and his team very much.

Very good!

The better course I have ever realized on Coursera. Theorycally strong and truely applicable.
