课程概述

How can you put data to work for you? Specifically, how can numbers in a spreadsheet tell us about present and past business activities, and how can we use them to forecast the future? The answer is in building quantitative models, and this course is designed to help you understand the fundamentals of this critical, foundational, business skill. Through a series of short lectures, demonstrations, and assignments, you’ll learn the key ideas and process of quantitative modeling so that you can begin to create your own models for your own business or enterprise. By the end of this course, you will have seen a variety of practical commonly used quantitative models as well as the building blocks that will allow you to start structuring your own models. These building blocks will be put to use in the other courses in this Specialization....

This is an excellent overview. In my opinion it is suitable to people who have studied the concepts before (maybe a long time back in college) and need a refresher before diving into details.

Very good background to quantitative modelling. It gets a bit heavy on the mathematical formulas in places, but if you follow through, it helps cement understanding. Good speed/pace of material.

I would like the examples to be more diverse based on the reality of the financial departments and the situations we have as professionals every day.

A very very basic course , i will suggest using it as a refresher rather than anything else .

It is however very easy to pass and get a certificate .

Course is good. I think it should contain spread sheets with linear and multiple regression to allow the student to practice with a real case model.

The teacher is perfect for this particular subject. The only thing I would like to see change is more simplistic way for non mathematical students.

Fuemuy interesante el alcance del curso. Sin embargo siento que se debe buscar forma de que se apliquen los conceptos. Los más esenciales al menos/

I am kind of new to these topics, but I would suggest to point out in a clearer way what are the main aspects to remember about the main concepts

The lecturer was very clear and concise in explaining concepts, and the examples and illustrations used were very suitable. I enjoyed the course.

Very clear explanation of the concepts and provides practical examples. The course is easy to follow. But the Quiz is a little bit too easy...

Very well done. Easy to follow and covered a good amount of material. Would have preferred a little more of the math behind some of the models.

É bastante didático, mas senti a falta de alguns detalhes tais como o passo a passo de como é realizado o cálculo em um software, por exemplo.

A great course that provides all the key introductory elements that are needed in order to acquire basic quantitative skills and perspective.

This course helped me better understand what was being taught in Economics and it was practical with the examples given easy to understand.

unnecessarily complicated use of phrases. Very easy, uses Highschool math to get youself fresh again in the related topics. Would recommend.

The interface is not that great. Leaving a video at a particular time must continue from that exact point to make it easier for the learner.

I like the pace of this course . Thank you Prof Waterman for taking complex concepts and presenting them in a easy to understand format.

This course gives us very fundamental idea of quantitative modeling but advanced modeling and/or tools. It's good for entre level students.

It would have been easier to solve practical quiz questions if the module included some information on how to actually solve the problems.

I really enjoy this class, however, when I pass the quiz, I'd like to know what the correct answers were on the questions that I missed.

It's a basic entry level course that briefs about important functions and distributions and methodologies used in quantitative modeling.

Material interesting, outlined and structured in good flow. Still need to investigate topic and deep dive to be able to use seamlessly.

Amazing Course. One suggestions: Quizzes can be more frequent in order to ins-till practise and improve retention amongst the students

A good primer, but I wished that the more details was provided on certain techniques (e.g, Markov Chains, Multiple Regressions, ect.)

I think it would have been helpful to have more practice in relation to more of the questions that called for solving in the quizzes.

Good info, but I wish it incorporated some work in excel to solidify the practice of these models, which is all done in spreadsheets.

More practice and questions would be helpful in solidifying these concepts, especially regarding markov chains and probability trees.
