I'm new to Business Studies - so maybe this is normal - but I was surprised at the amount of jargon in this course. It seemed that every simple idea came with another set of acronyms or obscure terms to remember, which made learning more, rather than less, difficult. If I were being cynical, I would think this tendency to over-complicate things were borne from an urge to add a veneer of legitimacy to a subject sometimes judged to be a "soft science". This is unfortunate, as the key ideas in the course were very helpful to me, and I imagine they will be helpful to others too. I only hope that in future, Allon and Van Mieghem focus more on simplifying the key concepts.

the course is very useful, but the video lessons are very very short, no enough examples, forums also need presence of tutor for help .... it would be of better value specially that comes from great professors...i really thank professors for their efforts

The Course was concentrated and to the point and give you the directions and procedures can be considered when managing the operations and scaling it up. Also, I would like to thank Prof. Gad and Prof. Allen for their dedication and beutiful style in conveying the information to the participants in the course. Just note, for graded Assignments, it require more attention and best typical answers by the instructors to guide the participants and check if they did their homework in the best way.

One of the best online courses I had attended till now. Short and to the point videos helped me in concentrating in the class. notes shared were very useful(at the end of every week. Fully thought and very very helpful

I learned so much from this and have applied a great amount of it in my profession as a Business Development Lead. Thank you very much to the instructors!

Great course and learned a lot but it would have been more helpful to have more in depth discussion of how problems were solved.

Good Content. A lot of innovative quantitative models for all the commonly read concepts.

the only reason I'm not considering the five stars is related with the peer to peer scoring. SHOULD BE REMOVED. There is no purpose on it just delaying the certification process. In addition to that the solutions for the main cases developed during the course should be provided (at least the feedback from the professors, who are excellent teachers)

The content of the course is good and it was helpful to think through strategy and scale from this lens. There was definitely more good than bad, but I struggled a bit with the math as there were not enough applicable examples prior to complete the case studies with certainty. I could not repeat the scenarios with real life situations with confidence. Maybe slow down to fully explain formula concepts and technical frameworks better and provide more examples to practice getting it right before the graded assignments.

The concepts are very good but very theoretical.More quantitative analysis should be added to prepare students to deal with the real world problems.

Not enough students to give review grading and earn a grade.

I had a wonderful experience taking this course. The content was awesome, and the professor's coaching was very helpful. I learned a lot from the lectures, assignments, and feedback. I am grateful to Northwestern and the faculty team for offering this opportunity. This course inspired me to pursue my passion and improve my skills.

This course is very practical. It tackles operation problems from different angles in a quantitative and qualitative way. The material is very well presented. The exercise is very practical and interesting. It's a must take course for any serious business leaders.

Great course, the model used by the authors is clear, practical and with sound fundamentals. I highly reccomend this course for Operations professionals looking for a different point of view on how you can create strategic value through operations management.

I really like this course it was very very complete and kept the focus on skilling and strategy very well.

I have enrolled for two other courses but this is still my favourite and I keep listening to it every now and then

Pending Peer-grading for an asignment but I found the course really interesting. I especially liked the theory - practical changes in this course. Some additional case studies would be of interest. Thanks!

Thanks to prof. Gad and prof. Jan for a piece of practical view. I will be happy to keep in touch if you don't mind. Also, please inform me if you've got next course. thanks, Kirill ks@mashtabator.ru

Theoritically, it define most pertinent concept around scaling operations. Practically, all section with quiz and exercise to reinforce their comprehension. Impressive and productive class.

this was a highly valuable course. It was very dense in some areas, but if you really focus on the ideas and the math, you can get a lot out of this course.

Excellent course, great material and a very clear explanation. These tools would be a nice and useful complement to used on improve future results.
