About the Course

A leader in a data driven world requires the knowledge of both data-related (statistical) methods and of appropriate models to use that data. This Business Analytics class focuses on the latter: it introduces students to analytical frameworks used for decision making though Excel modeling. These include Linear and Integer Optimization, Decision Analysis, and Risk modeling. For each methodology students are first exposed to the basic mechanics, and then apply the methodology to real-world business problems using Excel. Emphasis will be not on the "how-to" of Excel, but rather on formulating problems, translating those formulations into useful models, optimizing and/or displaying the models, and interpreting results. The course will prepare managers who are comfortable with translating trade-offs into models, understanding the output of the software, and who are appreciative of quantitative approaches to decision making. Business analytics makes extensive use of data and modeling to drive decision making in organizations. This class focuses on introducing students to analytical frameworks used for decision making to make sense of the data, starting from the basics of Excel and working up to advanced modeling techniques....

The first 5 modules were great. The final model and especially the final question was not really related to Excel. However these will be really valuable videos for me to review. I just would not include a question that has a required passing rate of 20% in the course.

Really not bad it goes over many different tools to use but as for the analytics part, if you do not really know where they are pulling the information from or how it will be a bit of a struggle. However, for a free course being a beginner it was worth the time spent.

There are some inaccuracies and mistakes in the videos or the excel sheets, which makes learning a bit more difficult. There is a mistake on the final project quiz, so it is hard to 100% it.
