Great course on topic of strategic business analytics. However, it would have been better if there were more readings and examples shown to understand the concepts better.

I found the examples uninspiring. And the instructor has a thick accent which made me go over the material a couple times.

Recitals make this course complete and more understandable. Recitals also help to learn and practice R with R studio.
