The course provided a good introduction to Operations Analytics. All the sessions felt like hands-on workshops with some real-world examples. I enjoyed learning ToolPak and solver the most.

Really enjoyed this course with not only learned the knowledge of operations analytics but also some excel tools I've never used or learned before. Great explanation on details in each week!

Useful skills and clear instructions on how to use Excel to solve problems!The problems are too simple for a math background student, but can still learn a lot by implementations in Excel.

This course was a definite improvement from the Customer Analytics course. All three instructors were on point. A special mention for you Sergei. Your portions were the most fun to explore. Thanks.

I was expecting a lot from this course. from basic to advanced and more of fundamentals. this course should be floated as full specialization rather than as a part of other specialization.

3 1/2 stars+ Good lectures+ Valuable introduction to solver and stochastic modeling~ Little beyond basics: for a Wharton specialization we should add more depth~ Quizzes are at least a bit too easy

Week 1 & 2 are too easy. The meat is in week 4 when combining simulation with optimization. Need to include more example on modeling non-linear problem to enhance the usefulness of the course.

It was a good course, and was very informative and educational for someone with no prior experience in Business analytics. The techniques for optimization and simulation were very interesting!

Learned about Solver and Analytics Toolpak to solve optimization problems. Also went over decision trees and multifacited solver decision trees. Instruction is very dry but very useful information.

Awesome course on operations analytics. Great learning tools in MS Excel which i did not know exist. Solver was a discovery. Decision trees are also interesting. I love the news vendor problem.
