Learner Reviews & Feedback for Introduction to Spreadsheets and Models by University of Pennsylvania

The module can include assignments for more practice of the concepts. Moreover, concepts like when to use uniform/Bernoulli/normal distributions can be explored better

The teacher was good, but he definitely could have gone more in depth with the course. And some of the question in the quizzes were not even covered in the modules

In one of the quizzes some of the questions weren't very clear, that created a bit of confusion while answering them. Apart from that the course was quiet helpful.

The questions on the quizzes were very confusing and marked answers incorrect despite being right. Quiz content should be improved, the instructor was good though.

Definitely there is some room for improvements. The course content is great but the quizzes are focused on more on Excel syntax than actual problem solving.

A bit boring – way too basic. And I expected it to be a bit more systematic – simple (and quite fragmented) examples around one case... Could be a bit more.

Extremely shallow scraping of subjects. Many learning objectives were not even explained further than reading them off of a list of learning objectives.

It's pretty straightforward and teaches important concepts, however, its quizzes are confusing at times. Some of the classes felt kinda useless.

This course is very brief and basic introduction to spreadsheets. It was surprising that the "pivot tables" was never mentioned in this course.

The course covers all the necessary theoretical basica of statistics and modeling but isn't very helpful in terms of practical implementation.

Is not as bad as I thought at the beginning (the first two weeks). It gets better the third week. I think it needs some improvement though.

Sometimes it felt like we had a question in a quizz before having the corresponding lesson. Leaving that aside, it is quite well designed.

The course relied too much on excel demonstrations, so it was harder to keep track of concepts and take notes. Ok, but not great.

lectures were good , but was not sufficient enough to get the quiz answers. For that the video lectures need to be more thorough

I would like to be able to view the answers to the quiz questions that I answered incorrectly after I have passed the quiz.

Videos and Quizzes are great to introductions but modeling small examples on Excel would have helped anchor some notions.

Would prefer to have the actual excel template in order to have a first hand experience on how to apply the concepts.

Although the course content was good and helpful. A more detailed explanation would have helped provide more context.

Some of the answers to quiz needs specific text answers. I believe even though the answer is right, the quiz come out

The professor barely skimmed the surface and the quizzes felt off topic relative to the lecture the professor gave.

Quiz's were more theoretical than practical, overall intermediate level and need prior basic knowledge of finance.

Instruction can be more precise and quiz 2 and 4 can be improved. This course is a letdown compared to Course 1.

Bit of a large step between very simple weeks 1 and 2 and more complex weeks 3 and 4 but mostly easy to follow

course content is great, quizzes not so. Some questions are very confusing and needed further clarifications

I enjoyed the difficulty of the quizzes, but found that the material could've been explained in more detail.
