I like the courses by Wharton,

The tests aren't as easy as other University's course exams.

Also, the teaching standards and material provided are top class, making it a must-do course for the people in this domain.

Great course! Great Content!

I gained deeper understanding on applications of statistics after this course.

However, I expected deeper and more specialized knowledge (optimization and modeling) in future courses.

It was a really good course, I feel I learned a lot that I can apply immediately to my work. The examples were realistic enough to be interesting, and I liked the coming back to the newsvendor at the end.
