Awesome course on operations analytics. Great learning tools in MS Excel which i did not know exist. Solver was a discovery. Decision trees are also interesting. I love the news vendor problem.

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.

This course could have been a bit less text heavy, as in sometimes it felt the professors were just reading out the slides. Other than that great course!

For starters it was a good place to start at. I knew some basics so it was pretty easy for me and I skimmed a lot of content. But overall it was good.

As an industrial engineering student, I had already covered all the chapters of this course and it did not bring much new information to me.

Well paced, introduction to optimization with real hands on exercice appreciated. Wish we would have more complex exercice and final quizz

I found the decision trees very helpful. The use of solver should prove a gentle introduction to beginners in the world of simulation.

Course was quite helpful. However would have really liked had this R or Python language was also used for some of the implementations.

I really learned a lot, but the videos are a little long, so it was more difficult than other courses to find time to do the work.

It's super useful but would like to have more exercise to practice. Also some of the videos are too slow and they can be boring.
