Useful skills and clear instructions on how to use Excel to solve problems!

The problems are too simple for a math background student, but can still learn a lot by implementations in Excel.

I was expecting a lot from this course. from basic to advanced and more of fundamentals. this course should be floated as full specialization rather than as a part of other specialization.

The course is very nicely organized. Course focuses on the true concepts and does not make you spend time on mundane calculations. If you know the quantitative math, calculations are fun.

Great examples with the excel sheet, hence was able to get 100% in the last 3 modules... Because of the exercises/sample this was a better session than the Customer Analytics one :).

I think that the course is very useful and the material presented is clear. However, the beginning of the course seems like someone is reading off of slides. Overall, great course!

Great teaching methods. I feel Prof. Senthil could have been more clear about how the course is going to proceed. But Lectures by Prof. Sergei and Prof. Noah were incredible.
