About the Course

Process mining is the missing link between model-based process analysis and data-oriented analysis techniques. Through concrete data sets
and easy to use software the course provides data science knowledge that can be applied directly to analyze and improve processes in a
variety of domains. Data science is the profession of the future, because organizations that are unable to use (big) data in a smart way will not
survive. It is not sufficient to focus on data storage and data analysis. The data scientist also needs to relate data to process analysis. Process
mining bridges the gap between traditional model-based process analysis (e.g., simulation and other business process mana...

Good content, very thorough, and I learned a LOT! Took more time than suggested, as I learn by taking notes and reproducing diagrams. But the course structure allowed for frequent pauses to do this.

Great overview of the Process Mining field. Easy to follow and very intuitive course material. Great usage of exercises and examples. Helpful practical introduction to Process Mining tools.

Sometimes too technical. It would have enjoyed it more if there would have been the possibility to choose which aspects of Process Mining I was interested in. In one of the last lessons, I came to the understanding that I want to apply process mining to spaghetti-structured event data, therefore I had to learn a lot about prediction, recommendation and so on which than turned out to be completely useless for me. I have the same feeling for the petri net, workflow syste, BPMI and so on that are presented; this is only useful for some users while this takes a large part of the study time. It may thus be recommended to organize a more 'practical' PM course for users interested in using Disco and a more technical course for users interested in more advanced analysing techniques.

Significant learnings on content which appears rationale but proved not to be in modules 2 and 4. The concepts of deadlock, soundness, live is not well explained. The time required is significantly more than advertized by Coursera. The quiz are not timed, even though there is a time indication. Some questions on the quiz have multiple correct answers, which are sometimes very subjective and tricky to get right. Lots of mental gymnastics and computation. Sadly, the concept of peer-graded assignment to strive for honors roll does not work well as the number of learners at anytime is very few, if any. The honors assignment on module 4 is very lengthy and regrettably cannot be completed satisfactorily because of software issues.

Some topics are a bit glazed over and others with concepts that are acknowledged to have major shortcomings (e.g. the alpha algorithm) have a heavy focus in the course and exam despite these shortcomings. Frequent notational switches ("we can automatically change this to ___ ") can make some lectures harder to follow as well, if you're not perfectly versed in some of the leveraged notations in this course. OK overall.

Good introduction to theory of process mining, but most of the techniques are problematic and therefore not practical, and the test questions are tedious as they focus on testing whether you can remember the theory rather than how to apply the theory to real-world problems.

Very good course. More real life cases and process mining examples would be beneficial.

Great content but the intro music sucks, quizes require too much calculation

too much focus on theory i can't apply this to any real data

The whole course was duplicating a book of an author. It reminds listening to an audiobook. The introduction looked very appealing, so I immediately bought it. It is the first course when I can state that it was a complete waste of time and effort. In my opinion, the teaching skills of an author are fairly low. The material is supplied in a linear manner and honestly, after watching lectures almost no information stays. I've tried watching additional videos via youtube and even those unprofessional free videos are more helpful.

Week 2,3 and 4 need more focus in terms of explanation as it was very difficult to answer questions based on what the tutor taught. The tutor can be more illustrative with respect to the concepts taught in these weeks.

The course is very unstructured, and requires certain level of mathematical concepts in Data Mining.

The are many instances where clarity of instruction is missing.

Overall quality of the course can be improved.
