Learner Reviews & Feedback for Modeling Risk and Realities by University of Pennsylvania
About the Course
Top reviews
covers good amount of material and exactly what is in the outline, presented with enough detail to follow. Good walk-through of the spreadsheets helps understanding, easy to follow along and practice.
Material was very well presented. Week 3 was challenging, but taking time to print out the slides, work through them rigorously proved very helpful. I found all sections very, very informative.

•4 starts only because Week 3 lecturer is not good at all. hard to follow, leaves things on slides unexplained. throws bunch of formulas forever without showing it in excel.
By James W
•Not too bad of a course. Fairly beginner but there is some interesting things to learn. I would recommend watching the videos at 1.5x speed because they speak fairly slow.

•Sergei should be more empathic, sometimes it feels boring; despite of that the entire course is great.
I would have love to practise a little bit more of simulation.
By DIANA O
•Overall very interesting. Just week 3 was very hard to understand and the quiz had NOTHING to do with what the professor was explaining. He was very disorganized
By Douglas J
•Overall very interesting, though the teachers waffle a bit at times and question 4 in the final test is not of an acceptable standard for a fixed course.
By Jason K
•Good course, explanations sometime a bit hard to follow, but came away with a pretty solid understanding of how to run constraint optimizations in Excel.
By Alejandra C
•It's hard to understand an accent and learn a brand new material at the same time. Having subtitles was very much helpful. Great course overall, thanks!

•Professor Senthil ruined Week 3 with no explanation and reading exactly the same story from the slides. Rest course is interesting and engaging. Thanks.
By Daniel M
•Good information on the use of spreadsheets. I had difficulty in Modules 3 & 4 on spreadsheet usage. Could tie instruction closer to quiz questions.
By Alexis R A
•Good course, watch out for week 3, it's a bit hard to follow, but otherwise good. You will learn quite a lot about simulations and decision making.
By Daniel K H
•Great content! My only suggestion would be a more in-depth course over a 2 or 3 month period (with the price adjusted accordingly).
By Washington A D
•It's an important introduction course to modeling risks. Even not a complex examples we could see the basic theory to this topic.
By Morgan S
•Lectures covered many applicable statistical topics. Professor could've explained a couple conclusions in greater depth.
By Neha K
•Course was good. would have liked more depth into the theory. Really appreciated the practical focus though.
By Michael L
•Well taught. The material and exams were challenging but well aligned. Best to playback at 1.25-1.5 though.
By Ian M
•Great step-by-step explanations, although the assumed level of maths was not clear going in to the course.
By D A K
•Good learn in modeling but some questions in quiz in week#4 is needed to tweak language to comprehension
By Noah B
•Some good sections of the course, but others are not explained well at all. Overall valuable material
By Carlos P
•Good course, considering the lenght of it. Do not expect a torought and detailed one, though.
By Xiaojun W
•Very clear structure, very well-explained! However, the course is relatively simple
By Jakob P
•The topics are introduced carefully and several examples are given. Easy to follow.
By Andrew S
•Great course very interesting. One of the lectures is very hard to understand.
By Mariano C
•Bit of a challenge especially coming down to the end but worth the effort.
By Caio G M
•The last week was a quite bit confunsing.
The rest was pretty good!
By Ghanshyam
•Useful for business risk analysis and modeling complex problem.
