À propos du cours
Meilleurs avis
covers good amount of material and exactly what is in the outline, presented with enough detail to follow. Good walk-through of the spreadsheets helps understanding, easy to follow along and practice.
Material was very well presented. Week 3 was challenging, but taking time to print out the slides, work through them rigorously proved very helpful. I found all sections very, very informative.

•The excels presented in Week 3 and 4 were lacking in substance, they didn't really help provide any useful information in real world scenarios. One of the questions in the quiz actually asked for the mode from one of the videos, first of all the mode? That's quite a basic question but on top that you literally have to go back through the videos to find the correct answer. It was quite silly. The first 2 weeks in the course were good, which is why I'm giving it 3 stars. I expect more from Wharton.

•This course is much more informative than the previous two in my opinion. I liked the sample spreadsheets provided. I still however feel the price is a bit steep compared to other similar courses you can find online. The quizzes aren't that challenging and it may be nicer to expand the assignments to practice more.
par Anna D
•Mostly useful practical advice and examples on how to use Excel to model risks and realities. Week 3 was not very good as it was a quick overview of basic statistics which is incomprehensible if you have no previous knowledge and useless if you do.
par Daniel B
•This course had a mix of high and lows, professor Savins pieces felt more connected to real life examples to help illustrate the concepts whereas Professor Veeraraghavan felt more like a math class and very disconnected from real world examples.
par Marek N
•Good practical examples of the concepts. In general, seems to me that the courses of the specializations do not fit together well. At times, basic things mentioned elsewhere are repeated, some others are not explained sufficiently.
par Irina K
•Only the first lecturer was good. Where are clear excel examples for Week 3, 3.2? You know that students have been complaining over 7-8 months and did nothing! It's a total waste of money.
SERGEY SAVIN is the BEST!!
par Jorge I L
•I felt that it was very repetitive and lacked many tools for risk analysis. Also, i felt it repeated many things from the previous courses in the specialization, which turned ir very tedious.
par Michal C
•All was great, but week 3 has serious issues with linking what is in the lectures and in the quiz. Also the forum is unmoderated and there are over a year old complaints. The rest was great.
par Brendan G
•I wish after each quiz it would show you how to get the right answer then generate a different question when retaking the quiz. You cannot learn without knowing what you did wrong.
par Viktor G
•Outdated presentation style: mostly "voice behind text and Excel window" long... long videos.
I'm not questioning the material itself, but I was heavily bored during the course.
par Jordan L
•Very difficult to understand the professors, and I would have wished for more demonstration on excel, rather than explanation through slides.
par Mohammed S
•comparing with the operations analytics with the same instructors it's not as a good as it but at all its nice course
par Jamon F
•Pretty tough, a lot of information to cover. I like challenging material though. 3 stars because I was challenged
par Jeff T
•Reasonably good. Would like to have seen the week 4 extend into using more modern tools such as R or Python.
par Stanley L W
•the first two lectures are great, but the last two come a little hurry and not illustrate very well
par Brendan C
•quiz should be unlocked. Some concepts could be explained better.
par Zijian D
•The second lecturer only read all the text in lecture slide.
par André I
•the quizzes are not really helpful/relevant.
par Evan H
•Some concepts were hard to follow.
par Cong W
•The courses can be quicker.....
par j v
•Slides were not useful.
par Zeming Y
•okie not that great
par Ao Z
•希望课程内容可以再深入一些
par Deleted A
•Basic Course.
par STEVE S
•I do not recommend this course or the specialization. I will cite below sentences from the course and you can be the judge yourself.
*** start of cited sentences ***
if we plug in the expected values … we get fifty thousand times ninety, plus nine hundred thousand times ten, plus one hundred thousand times six, plus one hundred fifty thousand times two …….
*** end of cited sentences ***
The professor was actually reading this calculation:
500,000*90 + 900,000*10 + 100,000*6 + 150,000*2
I sat through 3 courses to realize that I should have dropped it in course 1 week 1.
