Really great course and I learned a lot. Good production value and the work gets more challenging from problem set to problem set. I'll be better at Excel from having taken this course. The only drawback is I wish that I'd have known the last couple of weeks require the "Solver" add-in. I used the solver add-in, but somewhere in the process the version of solver changed in my excel installation....and it was REALLY buggy. Basically, solver was nearly unusable on my Excel, which made doing the work really more frustrating and distracting. Other than that, great course - hope Solver gets better!

Good for beginners to intermediate, some questions jump from being easy to hard in too short of a time, such as modeling complex questions like the midterms and finals, took me a long time to figure out with much guidance. But overall, if you are a beginner, it gives quite a clear outlook on the basics of excel formulas and functions. would definitely recommend, but can be some improvements. Good for refereshing your memory after college as well. But might need to dive into more important real world formulas like xlookup, hlookup, and the pivot table etc.

It is a great course; I learned a lot. However, I need to mention some exercises and quizzes seem to lack some background and, in some occasions, we do didn't have any idea of how to solve them (including the final project which required the inclusion of many constraints and conditions which we did not see as a complete exercise before). I did not receive any feed-back from faculty during the course, so it is more like self-paced and self-solving course, taking the advantages of videos and written material which were very helpful and well explained.

Not bad! I'm a former high school math teacher. This was my first ever "business class," and while the instructor did a great job explaining everything going on in the spreadsheets, I felt a little behind in the business lingo. I had to do a lot of my own research to learn what NPV, ROI, etc. is. Which is not a problem, but it may be helpful to future learners to know they may need to get a little background knowledge on all the lingo here. Overall though, I learned a lot, and it was fun!

This is by far the most useful course I have taken on Coursera. Not a dull moment in this class. I like the application-based approach to instruction; it does not drown students in theory before jumping into the applications. Students complete this course with real, practical knowledge of business analytics using Excel. This course made me want to learn more about Management Science. I wish there were more courses like this!

A very interesting and useful course. The best part is that you have practices applicable to real situations from the first module. The professor explains very well. On the negative side, the final project stands out, as there is a solution with a higher objective than the one presented as corrected... despite the fact that in the discussion forums this doubt was raised, no one from the university learning team responded.

it's very good course in terms from beginner to good usage of business analytics in Excel , also I like that it teaches you though practical cases , the only problem is the final project quiz the two questions are not matching with each other first one you exclude some projects from approval then the second one every thing changes , anyway it's very powerful course

The quizzes were easy except for the Mid term Project and the Final Project. I think, they were purposely done and were made harder than the rest. I did complete the course in the first attempt of the final project, however, I am not happy with the final project performance and would revisit the solution provided at the end to analyze where I went wrong.

I'm satisfied with this course and I recommended completely. It is an excellent course to improve skill in excel. The videos and explanations are very useful.

My feedback would be that ,after completing the final exam, the students have the possibility to access a video about how to adequately solve the final test

Un curso muy recomendable si vas a trabajar sobre Excel, si bien es cierto que los conocimientos aprendidos no se extienden a todas las posibilidades que ofrece la plataforma, profundiza de manera extensa en las metodologías de trabajo que enseñan, dando claridad a como usar dichas fórmulas/metodologías.

The course was very interesting and allowed me to acquire new skills and and an analytical eye.

The lessons are very detailed and well explained

Only downside for me - it sometime assumed a previous knowledge of mathematics that non all students might posses.

This course provided knowledge of Excel, Finance, and setting an analytical decision-making model. It has helped me improve my decision-making skills in real business situations at the company. I appreciate Coursera for offering this beneficial course.

The instructor was very easy to understand. his examples and step by step process really made following along quite easy. I did find that various formulas/solutions were not matching up to what I had and so there were some difficulties.

A lot of good information condenced, the only thing i haven't enjoyed this much was that in most of the cases the explanation of the subject came after the videos/ tasks. But i've learned a lot with this course, I really recommend it.

Great learning insights.

However, the course focusses on few selected themes and formulas linked to decision making. Certain other aspects from business analytics can be introduced such as data analytics.

It is a really well organized course. I got to learn a lot . Will watch through it again if required . Enjoyed the practical learning which always helps in better understanding of the topic . Thanks !

I found this course very interesting and enlightening. I learnt a whole lot of new things and especially with regards analyzing business thoughts that are put down as statements and words.

Amazing course to support business decisions through statistics and data validation. Includes almost all the essential skills required to run and understand a business. Loved it.

Very well structured lectures. Nice to listen to. Good to follow. Difficulty varies. Not always only oen right solution. This makes grading tests difficult. Can recommend!

I found this course very insightful. The only thing I would add would be additional classes to prepare for the level of difilculty of the final project.

Great course but there's no help available to solve your doubts except the discussion forums where the people are in the same condition if not worse.

I am extremely overwhelmed that I was part of this course and get to know about many things like goal seek, solver and many others things.

The class was challenging and full of critical and decision analysis. It exposes me to many Excel functions I never knew I could master.

IT does not work properly in phone for give a test & quiz. another things its learning style and pratical explanations are really good.
