I recently completed the "Judgmental Business Forecasting in Excel" course and I was thoroughly impressed. The course provided a great balance of theory and practical application, teaching me how to use both data and judgement to make more accurate forecasting predictions. The instructor was knowledgeable and engaging, making the material easy to understand and enjoyable to learn. The case studies and hands-on practice were particularly helpful in reinforcing the concepts taught in each week. Overall, I found the course to be very practical and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their forecasting skills and understand the role of judgement in forecasting.

I very much appreciated the perfect balance between theory and hands-on work to apply the concepts learned. Excellent content and enjoyable lerning experience! Great job Macquarie team, continue the good work!

This course gives me the right tools to deal with people for an analyst or WFM staff.

Superb introduction and love the short form+practice technique of the professor

damn good course structured and practical

Learned ton of practical skill!

Best trainer on Coursera

More than great, thanks

Great course

good course

The first 2 courses of this specialization (Time series models and Regression Models) are great, I didn't expect from them, but they gave me the most essential basic knowledge of forecasting techniques. The last course is more theoretical and had been never used in my last company (except S&OP meetings where different departments negotiated with each other). So I would change the Judgmental forecasting for something more complex - take real sales data and decide what method of forecasting is appropriate. And more real cases - better the study. Also I would add Arima/Sarima models.

Decent course. The material here is not as practical as the other two courses in this specialization. It is still worth spending the time to complete it though.

I enjoyed the course. The flow of thoughts was structured to make a novice grasp the concepts.

This last course was a bit of a struggle

Not very user friendly for Mac users. I have some problem locating the tools shared in the view. Maybe the instructor can make a note and publish a mac guide.

Too much focus on decimal points and basic tasks in Excel. Poor quality control on course materials (power points, worksheets, and tests)

This course is not only useless but incorrect about 20% of the time. I have expereince in forecasting and the topics cocered in this course in the series are out of date and the piees related to cyclical/judgemental are out of date, poorly explained and many of the statements are wrong including the quizzes. I quit most of the way through because it seemed to be doing more harm than good.
