About the Course

A leader in a data driven world requires the knowledge of both data-related (statistical) methods and of appropriate models to use that data. This Business Analytics class focuses on the latter: it introduces students to analytical frameworks used for decision making though Excel modeling. These include Linear and Integer Optimization, Decision Analysis, and Risk modeling. For each methodology students are first exposed to the basic mechanics, and then apply the methodology to real-world business problems using Excel. Emphasis will be not on the "how-to" of Excel, but rather on formulating problems, translating those formulations into useful models, optimizing and/or displaying the models, and interpreting results. The course will prepare managers who are comfortable with translating trade-offs into models, understanding the output of the software, and who are appreciative of quantitative approaches to decision making. Business analytics makes extensive use of data and modeling to drive decision making in organizations. This class focuses on introducing students to analytical frameworks used for decision making to make sense of the data, starting from the basics of Excel and working up to advanced modeling techniques....

A lot of good information condenced, the only thing i haven't enjoyed this much was that in most of the cases the explanation of the subject came after the videos/ tasks. But i've learned a lot with this course, I really recommend it.

The explanations are clear and the test are helpful for applying the learned skills. However there are cases when there are doubts and different results received with same approach, need a channel to get these resolved

It was very helpful, but the free add-in for Solver was not available in my windows...May be I was unable to do it correctly. Nonetheless, if I there were any other free alternatives, their mention would be helpful.

Great learning insights.

However, the course focusses on few selected themes and formulas linked to decision making. Certain other aspects from business analytics can be introduced such as data analytics.

Excel itself is easy, but it’s not easy to understand, for example. This is the most difficult issue that I faced. The course focuses on financial and business parts, and I am a an engineer

Very well structured lectures. Nice to listen to. Good to follow. Difficulty varies. Not always only oen right solution. This makes grading tests difficult. Can recommend!

I found this course very insightful. The only thing I would add would be additional classes to prepare for the level of difilculty of the final project.
