Learner Reviews & Feedback for Fundamentals of Quantitative Modeling by University of Pennsylvania

Great introduction to modeling techniques. Regression was covered the most in-depth, but it would have been nice to see this coverage extended to the probabilistic graphical models discussed briefly in the beginning. Still a great short course to take.

Thank you to Prof. Waterman and Coursera for a very insightful and inspiring course on the Fundamentals of Quantitative Modeling. The course instructions were delivered in a very clear manner, which helped absorb the complicated material more easily. The course allowed me to learn new and polish existing knowledge on the topic of Modeling. The course also opened the door for a further study of the Modeling and related topics.

Gran curso introductorio.

Great course. Focused on foundational concepts. The concepts are explained very well.

Great introductory course on modeling.

Very insightful course. Will recommend this for any student. One will need to read the recommended book earlier on in the course the appreciate and understand the course more, especially if your stats and probability is a bit rusty or absent.I enjoyed the examples in the course as well. Very practical and I can relate to them

Helpful and straightforward.

Excellent Course, Material and Professor .

不错的课程。

Useful introductory course to models

An excellent course content delivered by an equally excellent instructor/professor

Comprehensive, great lessons

While a student, I couldn't understand any of these, the probabilistic, deterministic models, their types, differences and applications. I would usually memorize when to use them just to pass the course. Now, this time I feel I really comprehend them. And it happened smooth and quite easily because the instructor was amazing. The material was well presented and gradually getting more advanced. U would highly recommend the course! Thank you.

Brilliant Fundamentals! Outer simplicity hides a lot of systematized knowledge and very structured and intuitively clear material.

Good introduction to elements of quantitative analysis and modeling for business operations.

excellent

Great way to introduce someone like me, with no business/mathemarical education, to the basic concepts of modelling.

Clear and concise. Recommended.

Great course with some

Great professor. Wish it went into how to do this with Excel, but I can look that up myself. Clear, well-articulated descriptions of various quantitative models.

Great review of key concepts! Easy to learn format. Looking forward to completing this specialization.

This introductory course is perfect. It gives you time to think (you don't have to spend too much time in order to understand the material/concepts) and it is self-sufficient. I would suggest to set the playback rate at 1.25 since the teacher talks really slow. In addition, I would like to see the teacher talking like a human being instead of reading his notes in a black background but this is not super important for me. All in all, I totally recommend it!

Good materials for the fundamentals of quantitative modeling. Need to pick up some maths and stats theories to help read the materials.

I have enjoyed it!
