Learner Reviews & Feedback for Modeling Risk and Realities by University of Pennsylvania

The course content was really good and rightly paced. The quizzes were really good and were designed to actually help participant understand the theoretical concepts in a better way.

Absolute gold. This course taught me to use the complex concepts I knew in excel. This was a challenging and interesting course and definitely useful for people who work in finance.

One of the most useful courses I've taken to date. This course is what the Spreadsheets and Models course should have been. Only complaint was week 3 was unnecessarily lengthy.

Super clear and super helpful. Nothing otherworldly however I learned new ways of doing data analysis, and it made me dig more into the potential of Excel for scenario analysis.

Really great course! Learnt a lot, more than promised by the course description. The course instructors are really good and very articulate. Thoroughly pleased with the course!

I thought that this course was tremendously helpful, as it really drove home how to execute simulations which is something that I had considered but not really utilized before.

I thoroughly enjoyed this course. I not only learned a lot in terms of ability to use Excel and am now better equipped to approach data in certain (and uncertain) situations

Great examples, the best course of the specialization so far.

Week 3 was a little bit slow. I think it was going through some theory that was already covered by course 1.

Very good course content. Was looking to apply to non-financial (engineering) modeling. There are similarities and may be able to use the same methodologies to simulate

This course has rich theoretical and practical material if you want to study about risk and reward analysis.

Recommended for aspiring young finance or business analyst!

Excellent orientation on risk and modelling. Both instructors were clear, articulate and well-organized. The modules , examples and quizzes reinforced the learning.

This course was very insightful. It's a great refresher course if you have a finance background. It's also beginner-friendly if you do not have finance background.

The professors are amazing. I could grasp all the concepts easily because of the good pace maintained by the professors. Thank you so much for this course!

The course was what I expected it to be. I was desperately looking for enlightenment in model risk and realities which was well delivered in the course.

A well-structured and practice-oriented course with a few useful practical tips about Excel-based business models focusing on risk and reward aspects.

Excellent course. Great and useful examples given by instructors. Also, very helpful that editables files used in examples are available for students.

Professor Savin is a rare kind, who explains very clear and brilliant. My excel skills were also sharpened. Overall, a course is worth attending.

Course was easiest to digest compared to other courses in this specialization; PDFs and Excel files provided sufficient learning opportunities

Great course. Very practical in approach and well explained by the instructors. This tied well to the earlier courses in the specialization.

Excellent instruction: slides and lectures are well coordinated. Material is interesting and the test re-enforce the slides and lectures.

This surely was the best course, amongst the last 3. The instructors were great, went in-depth and the tests also had some standard.

Well taught. Interesting for the novice at least. Even for the one with experience in modeling and statistics but in another field.

The course was very helpful as it gives a balanced theoretical and practical understanding in dealing with risk and uncertainties.

By far the best course of "business & financial modeling". Getting my respect back after losing it in the "spreadsheets & models"

Top notch instructors. Very organized. Materials were outstanding, especially the simulations. Enjoyed this class very much.
