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....

This course is excellent. I learned a lot about Nonlinear and Linear Programming in Excel, which is something I was not familiar with. The videos are clearly presented, with lots of time spent working on the actual models. The final exam was challenging but very instructive.

This course gave me a feel on how a college course would be! Really felt like I learned more about excel and all the tools it has, although it is not something I'd further pursue professionally, it is something that can help with other career opportunities.

The course is very detailed and thorough. Really helps grasp all the contents of Excel. But the main star of the show is the teacher - Dr. Joseph W. Cutrone. I he taught me Computer Science, I would have earned a PhD by now. Can't thank him enough.

I'm really a rookie in excel, even not to talk about business analytics. This course was great, wish it was longer. Awesome professor, it was a pleasure to learn. Just one notice - it would be good that the professor explains last task at the end.

Very good course for understanding how to solve business problems using Excel. Loved the course. Before opting for this course, I didn't like Excel; I thought of it as very boring, but after this course, I started to like Excel very much.

This course is quite basic, but well done. It teaches you everything you need to start using excel (and something more advanced too). However, I didn't like the final project (not too difficult, but very badly structured and chaotic!).
