Good course for operational analysis

Overall good course, but the wordings in the graded assignments and exams are sometimes ambiguous

Although very hard to listen to the professor because of his accent and very hard to read his hand written words, the content itself is really useful and practical.

It would be even better to go deeper in the topic of 6-sigma and TPS. However, overall a very useful course.

Good course. Provides excellent understanding of real world problems. It could be made more interesting by including more real world problems and scenarios.

great, but need more material

This course built me a fundamental in operation management in terms of process analysis, productivity, quality, and their relationships. This course elaborates clearly, provides examples, shows how to apply the formula in the problems, and uses the real examples (Toyota Production System). What I would like to give feedback is giving the guidance of answering the graded quizzes (decimal, percentage, punctuation, currency, etc) as a part of the introduction module (before students start for the first video), not inside the discussion forum. I would like to thank Professor Christian Terwiesch and Wharton Business School for providing this course.

Great Introductory course offered with well explained concepts of operations

By far not as good or demanding/challenging as the one from Kellogg. Still not bad. Also significantly shortened compared to the earlier incarnations.

Great course with lots of interesting information. In my opinion, only the lean approach in this course could be more detailed.

Course offers the most valuable information of the foundations series but the homework exam questions are ambiguous or unclear. This makes learning the material difficult as you will have to ascertain whether you are missing the correct answers because you didn't understand the material or because you simply misinterpreted the information in the question. Great information. If I had to take only one course, this would be it. I just wish it was presented as well as the information in Professor Bushee's Financial Accounting course.

Very good.

The materials are lot harder than I imagined. And it doesn't help that the Chinese subtitles are wrong for half of the course.

Good course.Lays strong foundation of operations and its uses in the industry.

A good introduction to Operations!

Good course to begin and explore the Operations Management.

I learned a lot from this class and everything was new and fresh for me. The assignments were very difficult and had topics that were not covered in class. Now whenever I am in long lines at a store or waiting at a restaurant to be serve, I always tried to see what is the bottleneck. At work now, I talk about process flows, process time and flow rate.

On the good side, the course subject is awesome it teaches the material efficiently. I can tell this for my other two courses with Wharton. They have great teachers in this school.

On the bad side I was disappointed with the quality of the image and sound. It feels like 1995 rather than 2016. Looks like Wharton hasn't defined the presentation quality control on his courses.

The tests didn't cover the whole material. the questions were all problems to solve, very similar to the ones in the practice problems. They could have been designed much more creatively.

English could be better

Well structured course. Nails the basics little by little throughout the weeks. Timely practice with homeworks i

The course was really interesting and helpful for me. It gave me very good system approach towards different operations processes.

Very detailed coverage of topics however the lecturer lacks sufficient energy in delivery and this could be solved when recording the lecture from an real classroom.

The module is very good and extremely practical I have really enjoyed it. However the homework and quiz questions are a little bit tricky and are vaguely covered in the videos making it that bit harder to figure out. If that was the intention of the module then well done you have done it well !! but if not then please take a closer look.

Apart from that i have really enjoyed it great module.

Great introduction to operations management. The instructor makes the concepts very easy to understand and fun to follow.

The content is good and it's a good overview of operations.
