Although this course covers some useful techniques in data analysis it is largely a sales tool for the ASP (Analytics Solver Platform) which you only get a trial for. This course would be more useful if it taught the techniques using excel or basic mathematical solutions to understand the probability distributions and other items covered. If you are interested in learning general data analysis this is not the course for you.

Business Analytics for Decision Making

Very informative course. The only downside is about the tool not easy to be used and replicate on Mac machines.

Great learning opportunity Through Mr. Laguna its an outstanding way of bringing the classes for our business processes right at the desktop for our e

Solver is not a free programme

this is a very informative course just some assignments are a bit too hard

Shame that Analytic solver trial is available only for 15 days. The cloud version

Very good topics. Very interesting and good to learn the basics. Even though the lecturer said simulation and optimization together were the most advanced part of analytics, I only halfway believe him. While the breadth of examples is good, the depth of each examples is thin in regard to real-life problems. For example, the marketing problems are too shallow, as anyone in marketing can quickly realize. I also didn't like that the ASP tool isn't available for Mac. The solver.com online tool is laggy, difficult to use, and ugly. I'd prefer an Excel-Mac solution or a Google Sheets solution PLEASE.

Its a basic level course. And mostly its software based

I do not give a good review to this course because I could not download the ASP, I wrote a message in the forum and no one replied, I see other students suffer this similar problem. I also saw a message in the forum from Marisa Edwinson (staff) acknowledging the code is expiring the 30th September. I have to guess some of the answers because I do not have the ASP downloaded, definitively not the full experience expected.

Amazing course to learn a bunch of new aspects in a business organization

It is more the demo of ASP's possibilities than education. ASP does not work in a free licence version for Module 4 models.

I find this course absolutely challenging as it in essence teaches you how to create models for decision making. Therefore, you will equip yourself with essential business analysis skills. Highly recommended.

Very good course in order to have an overview on mathematical tools that can be used to optimi

I love everything about the theory and the knwolege that you can get. I wished they didnt use xlminer.

Interesting course, but it just scratches the surface of a very deep subject. It inspired me to learn more and understand the math better.

Not very useful, or complicated (finished it in less than half a day).

Also still using lots of Excel specific tools that one may or may not have access to, instead of offering to use proper tools like Python.

Very interesting, covered a lot of information very thoroughly for a 4-week course. Well-explained.

Great Teacher, Great Course. Love it

This course provides a brilliant overview of Business Analytics problems. Bit more details about the underlying mathematical techniques used would be helpful.

Very enlightening two weeks. Learned a lot

Great Course !

Very interesting subject with a good instructor. I'd like to be able to cover the content in more detail, but it was a good introduction to optimization theory.
